Matt Parker Reacts to Magic Squares of Squares - Numberphile

I like how Matt's name is being tied to many aspects of magic squares, not because he's spent his life doing groundbreaking research into it, but because of a funny meme video.

[BrunoBarcelosAlves]

It's amazing how Matt is capable of showing the most sincere admiration and interest by pretending to be upset.

I did not know how much I wanted videos of Matt Parker reacting to other people doing math. This is really enjoyable.

It's 2433 and thanks to these Numberphile videos I finally know why all constructs in math bear either the name "Euler" or "Parker"

What gets me is the little smirk after each horrible, horrible, horrible pun when he's trying not to laugh at its horribleness. This is why I love Matt.

16:39 16:41 Is everyone forgetting that the Parker Square doesn't lie on the Parker Surface? Since it doesn't fulfill all conditions (the sum on one diagonal doesn't equal the sum on the other and the rows and columns), and all points on the Parker surface do fulfill this criterion!

[MichaelPetito]

I can't believe I'm going to watch this whole video over again just to see his reactions. 😆

Parker square: *exists*
"Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see Sallow's"

[NomenNescio]

My understanding of the Parker square is that if you try really hard you might almost make it.

Or in other words, it is never to late to give up.

Matt's look of self-satisfaction when he concludes he's said something clever is priceless.

Can we just appreciate either Matt's ability to chew popcorn without noise or Brady's editing of the audio to save our ears from popcorn crunching. :D

[cycklist]

Really appreciate this Brady! Matt is such a legend. What a good sport.

I was really hoping this was going to be a 10 second video of Matt just saying “it’s hogwash!” Straight to camera 😂

[unvergebeneid]

I love how quickly Matt goes from "the poor guy was bullied into naming the surface after me" to "cause that's its name!" 😄

[JavSusLar]

Matt, let's crack this problem together, you and us, your followers: write some Parker-python code and somebody will make it 10^50 times faster.

[nanapeel]

This really should be the main channel version....

[ricardo.mazeto]

Matt’s life is divided into two eras. The first one is the “hair era”, as he says. 😂

Parker is like Euler, doesn't matter who did the actual work, we just attribute it to him.

Thank you! I very much liked Professor Várilly-Alvarado with his clear and compelling exposition. Then this, Matt's reaction video, made it all the more fun! You guys are great.
