>>12050372I am well aware of that but only after math was introduced as something that could actually be interesting by such videos. At worst, you get someone that develops an ego in the subject. This type of person likely wouldn't have entered math anyway. So, where is the real downside?
Given your list of ways to find out about a math concept, you essentially cast it away in obscurity before you've dared to enter anything related to higher math. Before then, have fun with epsilonics.
Also, I think it's clear 3b1b doesn't 'teach' math and he emphasized that in 'the essence of' series, he adds a certain perspective to it. Whether you think it's the right of wrong way (sometimes I think it's right, sometimes I think it's too geometry heavy) is a different question.
I will say that it is utterly pointless to try to explain something like homology to someone without the prereq, but calculus? Linear algebra? DE and FT? These last two you don't have to enter functional analysis to study-they got you immediately in physics books in QM. Sure, functional analysis will aid its understanding later but physics students are there to do physics.
