What is convolution? This is the easiest way to understand

What is convolution? If you've found yourself asking that question to no avail, this video is for you! Minimum maths, maximum intuition here to really help you understand the idea behind this complex topic.

What convolution really is: "when you convolve two functions, you're basically combining them in such a way that tracks their interaction throughout time". I guess that is a gist of the video.

That is the most awe inspiring and intuitive explanation I have ever heard on convolution. Hats off to you sir !!

Physics student here. I'm in third course and I've been using convulations now for over a year without fully understanding what they meant. That has changed now. Amazing explanation. Loved the analogies.

[Clemmmmmmmm]

Electrical engineer here who graduated nearly 7 years ago, and I've somehow slipped through without properly understanding convolution. 1st Year EE was "you'll learn this next year" and 2nd Year EE was "you should have learnt this last year", and somewhere in between I never bothered to learn it myself after looking at the maths and shoving it in the too-hard and not needed for power engineering basket. This is the first time I feel like I've properly understood convolution, at least intuitively, and now looking back at the maths on Wikipedia, it makes a lot more sense now. Thank you!

You're right, there's ample videos to explain the pure math of convolution but you perfectly explained the intuition behind it and how it can be applied in the real world. I look forward to seeing more great explanations from you! Thank you so much for the work!

[ashwinkumar]

Why on earth do you only have 1.9K subs? That was probably the most intuitive explanation I've seen so far (and with quite good production value too)!

[Rei_of_nanto]

Thank you so much, man! Electrical Engineering student here, u just helped me understand the most challenging and difficult subject I've faced by far. That's exactly what annoyed me the most about convolution: most teachers only show you how to calculate instead of what's actually happening there.

[StepwaveMusic]

Mathematicians should learn how to turn to intuition. You just saved me hours of work trying to understand convolution, when it was literally one slide in my theory for convolutional networks.

[gvcallen]

Really great explanation man. Hadn't even heard of convolution before but everything made complete sense! Keep it up

[mt]

saving my signals and transforms midterm, bless this man

[unentepensante]

best explanation ever heard searching for it everywhere on the internet, your video should be watched by all of the engineering professors, they could learn something about teaching

[hesamh]

It is my duty to thank you for this video

[RomainPuech]

This is the best way to understand convolution and the only one I found to truly explain the intuition. Thank you.

[baxtermason]

...amazing...in EE school, you are introduced to the theorem and given an example...you go thru the motions without really understanding what you are doing...thanks...

[evertonsantosdeandradejuni]

Coming back here yet again, this explanation continueous to be a gem. Best explanation hands down

[electro-commGyani]

I finally understand it and not just the mathematics. Eureka moment, truly!

[virusbigchannel]

1 year of college courses, and i can do the math but don't quite understand it. I closed this video at 2 mins fully understanding the intuition. Thank you man! Sometimes a well posed example is all it takes!

[Iceikking]

The fact that I had just went through a simular jounrey just to try to understand convolution....thank you for the video. It makes the concept seem much clearer,

[jarthur]

The firework example, just was Thanks
