Learn Topology in 5 minutes (joke video)

You lied to us. You said this was a joke video.

I like how you introduced so many terms so quickly. The course was topologically compact.

[DanielKRui]

The C, P, Rho, and Complement part was genius. It seems my professors learned their notation here!

i dont know how i got to this video. i dont even like math. i went to community college for culinary arts. where am i

legend says that your viewers are still trying to prove theorem 1.9

[silverbrows]

I'd be laughing if i wasn't crying from the flashbacks

[rafaelbordoni]

If this is a joke, then all my years in university were jokes.

[jackdesy]

you gotta love it when rho and p are in the same expression. its not confusing at all

[acommenter]

This is genuinely like the functional analysis course I did.

grigori perelman was able to prove poincare conjecture thanks to this course

[oisinlyons]

I have never felt so called out yet so validated by a single video before. I took an undergrad course in topology last year, and every single bit was right on the money. The disappointment at the lack of visual intuition, the constant references to excersises for proofs, the prof saying near impossible-to-parse formulae as if they were obvious, even the exact definition of compactness I hoped I could skip over, only for it to appear literally everywhere after, it all made me think you somehow got inside my head and translated my thoughts into a digital format. I had no idea this was such a universal experience with this subject. 10/10

The Poincare conjecture proof is left as an exercise
🤣

"1.2 theorem:
see 1.3 for proof
1.3 exercise
proof 1.2" god damn comedy genius. this is what school feels like.

[LookingGlassUniverse]

This is how all of my math classes were. Minus the helpful diagram at 3:16

Your P and rho look too different, making the proof of Thm 1.6 hard to follow. Maybe choose a font that makes them look more similar?

[SteamPwerd]

This video activated my fight-or-flight response

[saneeto]

came for a laugh, left with anxiety :|
