What are your favorite mathematics channels/videos on YouTube?
There are tons of great videos on YT, but I’ll list some resources from 3Blue1Brown’s SoME3 contest if you want to discover more math explainers.

- YouTube - 25 Math explainers you may enjoy

This is a continuation to my original “What are the most mindblowing things in mathematics?” post.

There’s a video I remember seeing from Matt Parker where the top comment was just 3B1B saying “Woah”. I’ll see if I can find it.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghxQA3vvhsk
I like StandUpMaths. this one about the alabama paradox got me hooked
Anything Vsauce ever made. G.O.A.T.
Vsauce is awesome! He makes you question everything after each video!
Also…
I think thisplaylist of old Herb Gross calculus lectures is pretty amazing. Aside from video quality.
Some of my favorites are from Edward Frenkel and the Langlands Program. In analogy the Langlands Program can be thought of as the “Theory of Everything” of mathematics linking various seemingly disconnected fields together.
Another great video is from 3b1b where he shows Pi somehow emerge from 2 blocks colliding against each other.

Maybe not mindblowing but the Mathologer guy has some good, not so “pop maths” videos. I like this one about the 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + … = -1/12 absurdity that they spoke about on Numberphile
It’s pretty basic, but for me when I first saw it, I was blown away. Donald in Mathmagic Land 1959 (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=hl6JDv4ZG7U) - in Technicolor!!
