NUMBERPHILE

Videos by Brady Haran

A NOTE ON THIS VIDEO:
A few of our Tadashi videos blur the already blurry line between mathematics and physics... Some people suggest they may be a better fit on Brady's dedicated physics channel (called Sixty Symbols).

In response, the reasons they are on Numberphile are:

1) Tadashi, while certainly a modern polymath, is based in a mathematics department.
2) This sub series (with its animation and extra production work) has been supported by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, a Numberphile collaborator.
3) Some of the previous and future Tadashi videos are more math-oriented than physics - and it just makes sense to put them on one channel rather than dividing the series between two channels on an ad hoc basis.

In a multi-disciplinary world, it is challenging to run YouTube channels which people come to associate with just one discipline.

I love how just as the Professor explains something you immediately see where he's going and a whole load of stuff you never thought about before suddenly makes perfect sense.

Tadashi is the only man who can get me interested about cup clinking

[mikosoft]

Whoooom Whooom vs heehooheehoo - that just made me roll on my office floor laughing loudly

[willfreese]

Because of Tadashi, I am now aware of the very low musical quality of my mug. It is almost as if the manufacturer wasn't thinking about tone at all.

[leckam]

it was inevitably, I immediately went to my kitchen for a cup and try it...
and after hearing it! I was smiling like a kid!

6:00 "Heehaw" Take notes, guys, this some scientific stuff.

Tadashi's sound effect for an unweighted spring kills me

[ChrisChoi]

I guess you can say he sure "handled" that problem really well.

[SuperAngryPacman]

If anyone's wondering, the lower pitch is E6, and the higher pitch is a semitone higher, F6.

Prof. Tokieda always manages to find a topic that is both easy to get into and interesting to delve into.
Fantastic teacher. And thank you Numberphile!

"Since we're talking about the pitch .., let's imagine ourselves in a pitch dark room"
10/10 Tadashi

[adrenaldarknes]

I just about spewed out my coffee when he made the 'hee haw hee haw' sound effect for the little spring. Caught me off guard lol.

[blueeyes]

I like the accompanying animations. Really helps me to understand the concepts

[lebumbcrack]

never clicked on a video faster in my life
love Tadashi

[Nugglashine]

Tadashi Tokieda is so charming and charismatic. Very relaxing speaking voice. I could listen to him all day.

[noahzuniga]

this guy is excellent at explaining things

[DSi]

Tag yourself I'm the spring sounds
*wuuOMMB WUOMmmb*
_hiiho hiiho_

[hesgrant]

Tadashi never fails to teach me something new in these videos. Awesome stuff guys!

[snubbelbuff]

I've wanted to understand this for so long!! I can die now! Thank you

[InkEyes]

I didn't even know that different points would have different pitches! I was blown from the beginning! lol
