New podcast episode: Beyond Khan Academy
Added 2021-07-23 00:55:57 +0000 UTCEpisode 2 of the 3b1b podcast is out now, featuring Sal Khan.
Since the podcast is a sort of a separate project from the main lessons that this Patreon is about, I'll spare your inbox and hold off on direct updates here as we continue putting out some weekly episodes (except perhaps in side-mentions within posts about the main projects). If you want to follow more actively, stay subscribed to "the 3b1b podcast" on whatever your favorite podcast app or platform is, or subscribe on YouTube to the second channel.
Things are now in a pretty good rhythm where the logistics/editing of the podcast is nicely outsourced, so it's a chance to have meaningful conversations with interesting people without eating much into primary video time. I hope you enjoy it!

Yep, it's Digital Signal Processing. E.g. I'm interested in the topics of Wavelet Transform, Signal Smoothing.

2021-07-26 15:04:25 +0000 UTCI think the world is still missing some educational angles. KhanAcademy is great and all, but it's about teaching bottom-up. Which is relevant mostly for kids/students. What I personally am missing is the opposite: I have a professional goal (let's say be good in some aspect of DSP) and I'd like to see what steps I should take, what material is crucial if I'm starting at point=0. With KhanAcademy and Co. you end up spending too much time learning. And it's not clear how much of it is going to be relevant. The educational materials are out there, we just need a resource that can navigate you through tons of literature and courses. Yet another angle is - hearing professionals in some field (engineers, scientists) explain the same topics as teachers. Hands-on professionals may not be as good in teaching as teachers themselves, but hearing what they actually use in practice, observing their thought process is also very valuable. Switching between professions is very(!) hard, you don't have a luxury of taking a break for several years and just study. And I think these types of resources would be super beneficial for grown-ups.
2021-07-23 16:27:51 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the first episode, and am looking forward to this one. I hope you invite James Grime at some point--he has said before that he is willing to be a podcast guest on other mathematicians' podcasts.
