[j.adrianriosa.]

This is the future of education:

1. Divide a course into manageable chunks.
2. Gather the best explainers from around the world and give a piece to each.
3. Ask them to explain it in a way that's transferable to other domains.
4. Gift the class to the world.
5. And of course, embrace Julia, we're in the future!!

Thank you all!

Not to demean any professor here, but when everyone introduced themselves (doctors!) with all that they work and research on, there sat the GOD with just a meek smile and said one simple line "My name is Grant Sanderson. I run a YouTube channel called 3Blue1Brown."

Trust me the BEST teacher ever does not even need to be introduced.

[jacopomazzoni]

just found this randomly in YouTube, I would have killed for a class like this as an undergrad, these are some lucky kids.

6 years ago, I ran into Julia. Thought that was another new kid on the block and look at where we are now. Honestly, thanks a lot for this course.
And looking forward to hearing from Prof. Phillips

My God. This is literally what I've been thinking about for years. This is the way science should be introduced to people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[speedyhien]

Math and Music! IMHO the two most important universal languages. Thank you for the empowerment.

[luccahuguet]

My god, I'm so excited for this course. Thanks a lot, it appears to be amazing!

[CKPSchoolOfPhysics]

We are blessed by heaven to feel the heaven by heavenly talented pool of profs. Ready to dive into your world. I can't thank enough to you guys for the revolution, you have already brought and will be bringing. Grant deserves nobel prize of teaching. 3b1b is pure bless to watch . I really curse why we have just 24 hrs in a day, my life seems short now.

"My name is Doctor James Schloss" must be tough having "Doctor" in the name :p
