Anyone at the JMM?
Added 2024-01-01 21:38:21 +0000 UTCHappy New Year!
I'll be at the JMM in San Francisco this week. In case any of you happen to be there and would like to meet up, please do feel free to drop me a line at grant@3blue1brown.com
Also, and I suppose relatedly, for one of the planned projects in 2024 I'm curious to learn more about the history of elliptic curves through the 19th and 20th centuries. If this happens to fall in any of your wheelhouses, do let me know!

I was there, but didn't see this in time. Darn!

2024-03-01 16:54:24 +0000 UTCHi Grant, I recently came across a topic that may be really interesting for a video explainer (and I can't seem to find any good explanations quickly) - planimeters & Green's theorem! They're an 1800s tool that give you the area enclosed by some area; actually they predate Green's theorem, but the rigorous justification for why they work involves it.

2024-01-02 19:30:02 +0000 UTCI know I keep repeating myself but I'm still aching for closure on your oldest project. The linear algebra explanation seems (to me) incomplete without explaining the most baffling, unsettling, brow-raising concept that is pseudo-inverse. How is it possible that it always exists, even for square matrices with the determinant of zero?

2024-01-02 06:09:06 +0000 UTCHappy New Year, Grant! Not exactly my forte either, but I did a semi-deep dive in grad school from a crypto slant. Feel free to reach out -- I'll help as much as I can!

2024-01-01 23:01:19 +0000 UTCNot exactly my forte, but if you mean elliptic curves as in geometry there’s the ongoing problem of solving Kepler’s equation efficiently, which is a fundamental problem of orbital mechanics. You should be able to find a couple books on the subject (at least one that is fully dedicated to the topic). I also have vague memory of elliptic *functions* (? — what are they?) also figuring into the proof of Fermat’s theorem.
