How I Feel About Logarithms

also might as well explain all of elementary algebra

"Sometimes to make the harder things simple, first you have to make the simple things harder"
That's a great sentence

[waseemriche]

You have an incredibly gifted and talented mind. As an engineering student, your videos help me see the art in mathematics, something very few professors are able to do with their students. I really hope you get recognized for your amazing abilities.

STCx -> Sticks
Log -> Log
Sticks and Logs
did anyone else notice that?

"Sometimes to make the harder things simple, we have to make the simple things harder"
Nailed it.

She's like a mathematical Dr. Seuss

This explanation is a million times clearer than anything I ever learned in pre-calc or calc.

[AceGA]

I am disturbed by the fact that a 9 minute video just explained this better than several days in college level math classes. Well done.

This video makes all of us wonder if Vi Hart has synesthesia.

"Sometimes to make the harder things simple, first you have to make the simple things harder."

I am going to quote that.

[CanalRadioMax]

My goodness, that's pure poetry! with passion and all... Vi, where were you when i was in high-school?

[novachromatic]

One of the best math videos I've ever watched. Ditching roots for fractional exponents is such a good idea!

[lerch]

Have you just crammed a masters thesis into 9 minutes ten seconds?

[James_Haskin]

This is quite possibly THE MOTHER OF ALL MATH LESSONS, in that, to my knowledge, this has the most information in the least amount of time of any lesson I’ve seen online.

Just, WOW 😯

You distilled so much into something so digestible, yet so wholistic in method that it’s practically lossless compression of information tailored for maximum comprehension.

🎉Bravo 👏

My God I love everything about the way you say words.

[carlwheeser]

dang you really love logarithms... Let's start counting in a times e sort of way!!!

[learnerlearns]

Just brilliant! Beautiful hands, beautiful mind. Clear simple explanations. Logical progression of ideas. Even a sense of poetry about numbers.... And then this: "Counting in a timesy way."

This did more than make me smile...
Vi Hart, you give me hope for the future.

[MrMonshez]

So this is how mad scientists create complex equations, those that scribble on forever..they're simply +1'ing a bunch of times, in different ways. Well hey at least I know now, :D

[EpicFishStudio]

I hope you are teacher or eventually become one,
because you could make maths great again

[Elykar]

It says a lot about Vihart's style and presentation that despite me really not being a fan of mathematics and being woefully inept at anything above basic arithmetic, the videos made are engrossing and I always enjoy watching them tremendously. Thank you!

And everything was great until 0 got involved
