Fun With Math (Summation and Induction) Part 1 of 2

This is my video, fun with summation. I didn't really know what to call it so hopefully this gets clicks rather than scaring them away.

Subscribe for part 2.

Induction is not shown until college . . . um . . inexplicably? But it's not hard in principle. This video should be understandable to people with a basic understanding of Algebra.

Very clear. Thanks a lot.

@altazorX You're welcome

nice vid. audio a bit fuzzy tho?

[godshiva]

Glad you liked. For the kind of budget I'm on, that is "Good quality" LOL ;) I use a hand held recorder device - I probably need to consider getting an external mic. Thanks for the feedback

Very nice. I'm an old (former) mathematician, and I enjoyed this (even tho' I already knew how to solve it!). Reminds me how much I used to love doing proofs..... I think I'll go do some ordinary differential equations. yippee!!

@godshiva I want to suggest other format. The right format for you is PNG. It doesn't compress cruelly like JPEG and the files will be extremely small because it black and white (JPEG files are relatively big and it's don't matter what type of graphic you got inside). Cheers for the great work.

@Mishkafofer They were all digital images but I had to put them in JPG to get them in to the video program.

@robertkingNZ I believe its fuzzy because he scanned papers and saved in JPG format, so this fuzziness is JPEG artifacts due to high compression.

Other idea: Its video codec fault, he tried to make a very small video file and that comes at a cost.

[robertkingNZ]

its fuzzy at the start. your other videos aren't that fuzzy. Also I like the n*(n+1) block. I figured that out when trying to find the number of operations required to get a matrix into row ech form. I also used a pyramid for the n^2 case. then for the n^3 case i stacked the pyramids inside themselves, and used recursion on the density.

I'm not watching 10 minutes of math! But have a comment on the house.
