Math with context = great teaching tool. We need more educators like NDGT.

Without Chuck there should be no explainers or star talk episode cuz got more knowledge than these irregular cohosts.
Nice for having Chuck on this

Schools need to explain math like these two. I know more of my friends would have actually liked math. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Always fun to Chuck's reaction when he gets the answers right when he realizes how easy it is when explained properly . Thank you both for simplifying science and maths

I wish the education system stressed the โ€œwhyโ€ in mathematics when I was growing up.

12:08 you can tell how Neil is waiting for chuck to say something, he knew complex plane would trigger something in him, their sinergy is so nice

Retired Science/Math teacher here. That was magnificent. I truly wish I had had access to your vids when teaching.

If imaginary numbers turned out to describe some hidden part of reality, would that even surprise you?
