Today I learned that math is an assault weapon.

23:26 every mathematician I’ve seen watch this video is so entranced by the actual equations that they never seem to get TSC is spelling “exit.” It’s kind of hilarious.

I just realized the reason the equation is the antagonist is because it’s acting “irrationally”

having the "antagonist" be e^ipi is pretty genius, its something so simple its easy to "discover" by accident, but also something completely alien and inexplicable, but also it ultimately is just a simple equation that naturally follows from the rules of math

"Gamma function, I've never been good at those" Me never having heard of such a thing existing

Watching Jack have his mind blown by Alan's animations is the best thing ever. just, every single time, he's just pogging out of his mind.

So fun fact about this video. Alan isn’t a math nerd. His friend is. Hi friend is the one that animated all the actual math and equations parts and Alan just trusted that it was correct

The giant walking thing at the end is Aleph, which is the smallest cardinality of infinity. Big dude

The ad I got at 6:35 had great comedic timing 😭😂😂 "Okay so a little bit of explaining, e-" -"Explaining complicated things can be hard, [something something] Grammerly"

I like how at 6:19, e^iπ nearly made an escape by attaching an i to it to go to an imaginary value, but the i thrown at it, converted it to a real number, promptly pulling it out of the imaginary plane.

As someone who struggled with math most of my school life this was more engaging and interesting than most math classes I ever had. Like this made math look extremely cool and I hated math.

Who else thought that TSC's way of drawing a circle was oddly satisfying?

Math and physic teachers need to show this to kids and be like: "Is math really THAT boring?" XD

21:54 I love how he immediately realizes how excessive that attack is going to be, before the circle even grows.

Alan becker makes some GOD TIER animations you should do more reactions to his work the whole AvA or AvM series he has is amazing!!

I like that line; "overcoming the pain of math is a universal constant."

I love the tension in the music when he divides by 0, like you know something bad is about to happen if he doesn't stop it.

There's a theory that Orange somehow made his way into the calculator app which started this whole thing

It is one thing to produce better fighting animations then most profesional studios. BUT MAKING IT MATHEMATICALLY CORRECT! damn...

'bout damn time, I knew you'd nerd over this so hard o/

2:11 So true! I remember just multiplying 2 over and over and being _fascinated_ with exponential growth. My child brain didn't understand it, but it felt wondrous.

20:54 I've never seen someone turn an equation into a dark souls boss.

14:12 Ok, so I think I might know what they are trying to show here. The circumference of a circle is 2(pi)r, and half of the circumference is (pi)r. I think theta is supposed to represent the radians, so pi/r = pi if the radius is 1. If the radius is 2, it would equal pi/2 in the unit circle(because you're basically including the circumference of 2 circles in one, so pi in the radius 2 circle would be equivalent to pi/2 in the unit circle). If the radius was 4, pi would be at the equivalent of pi/4 in the unit circle, and so on. To simplify further, Alan is trying to show that pi(radians) can be at different points of a circle's circumference depending on the radius. In a circle with a radius of 1, pi would be at... well, pi. But in a circle with a radius of 2, pi would be at the equivalent of pi/2 in the unit circle.

If only math was this easy to mess around with and learn in real life.

I understood precisely none of this but man the animation was cool and it was great listening to you explaining stuff.

20:59 love how the limit staff attacks in circular formations!

6:35 i was laughing for about a minute and i dont even know why xD

I think the most amazing thing about this animation is (from the reactions i've seen) all of the mathematics is accurate. Now onto Animation vs Minecraft as it is a good side story to the AvA. Some Episodes can be a little slow but none of them are filler, all of them add something to at least one of the Stick Figures character/personality. Just make sure to watch Without Captions as they are Fan made, may spoil some things and are entirely unnecessary.

I was watching this out of school and now I'm getting a school lesson I CAN NEVER ESCAPE

Bravo for the e explanation my guy. That took effort that most people would never even fathom putting in a reaction video. you just gained a sub

I love this reaction. You're not just playing the video and laughing every 30 seconds. You're using your expertise and going deeper into the meaning behind the video, adding more transformative content. Thank you.

i love the massive aleph at the end

14:38 Here I would argue that the creator is using theta*r to represent a circle via its arclength. As he changed the theta it the point went around the circle creating an arc length. When dividing the stick man discovers pie to be theta/r for traveling half of the circle.

the laser part was mindblowing

I gotta give you credit for this joke you didn't make: When you said "so now we're cooking" at 3:08, I misheard that as "so now we're cocaine". I though you were making a joke about how "math" sounds similar to "meth", and that you were describing how the topic was ramping up

I think this is the first time I’ve seen any reactors laugh at the math or find it funny, I wasn’t expecting that to make such a difference! This was so much fun to watch. I’m not a math person myself but honestly this video has a beauty to it that makes me cry sometimes.

Jack is gonna have a time of his life with the latest animation fr

I recommend this should be played within schools to actually show them what they need it for

I have no clue what is happening, but your joy makes this an enjoyable watch.

So thankful for these little lessons you gave in the middle of this reaction. I’m in the middle of AP Calculus and that explanation of Euler’s Constant was very helpful.

Probably the best educational short ever made.

Just wait until he realizes an animation vs Physics just came out

Bernoulli is a name every pilot knows. A mathematician that was also experimenting with building water fountains and in trying to create better nozzles for shooting water up discovered that increased velocity lowers pressure and vise versa “the Venturi effect” (below the speed of sound) He wasn’t trying to build an airplane but his discoveries lead to a major portion on the theories of wing structure and flight.

The "exiτ" is a nice touch. Crossing over a tau in the pi so only one tau is visible, showing us a t.

Hey, this just popped up on my feed, Alan just posted another one similar to this today, Animation vs. Physics Highly recommend, many people in the comments were saying how accurate it was. I'm not a physicists, but I found it really cool. I'm gonna watch this video, and hopefully if I check back I'll see that one on here, I'd love to see your reaction!

Man, I love your videos. You add so much knowledge and good commentary to everything.

My favorite part of watching reactions to this video is people seeing crazy shit and reacting with, "Ahh, that makes sense.". Cracks me up every time!

I absolutely love how in your videos you dont just react. You also teach, my mind cannot wrap around any of this but you definitely help a lot with your explanations. I appreciate you!

I've learned more watching the physicist and the nuclear engineer, who also seemed to understand and better explain this video than the Harvard mathematician, that's hilarious and awesome

23:26 After watching this animation multiple times I just saw the word "exit" right there.

I love watching nerds reacting to this animation vs math, my dad actually helped me understand a lot of it and even though I'm still struggling to fully understand it, it's quite amazing the amount of math and logic they put into it while still making it interesting to watch! At the end, when Orange was trying to tell e^ipi what he wanted, he used a multiplication sign and covered half of pi to spell 'exit' so that the lil guy understood what he was looking for!

I feel like this really encapsulates my struggle to truly grok complex exponentials.

Man you need to react to the new Animation vs. Physics! It’s super cool and I think you will have fun watching it

I’m not a fan of math. More of science (which still deals with math, but when it involves science, it’s awesome) But this video was awesome. Just perfect. Also loved your explanations.

I WISH someone visualised maths like this when I was a child. I AM FASCINATED!

I feel dumb now, love this video

One of the best reaction for this animation, with someone who's actually understand what's going on

They just released a new animation which is about Physics. You should check that one out next and I want to see your explanation of the terms in that video 😊

holy shit that aleph at the end gave me goosebumps

Animation vs physics is out now! Can't wait for your reaction!

19:18 You could also see it as "infinite" ammo, in that the expression it is shooting is infinity. Which is nuts.

I've always thought e^ipi was super interesting. Taking the irrational number e and raising it to the power of an imaginary number multiplied by yet another irrational number gives you the simple answer of -1. Incredible.

What are the odds of me remembering to watch a video a couple of days ago, that i've seen 16 years ago. and the only guy i see reactions on for a couple of years, to do a video reaction about the first guy. that is crazy.

okay, i definitely remember learning all this from 10th to 12th grade, but now i don't remember the stuffs that i memorized, but i am getting flashbacks of the stuffs that were thrown in some corner of my brain...

Yay, another smart math person reacting to this. Not that i mind the average joe reacting to this mind you, and im not entirely sure on some of the bits in the video myself, but i do appreciate reactions from people who understand this.

6:34 this fuckin floored me i did not expect it one bit

Met a guy who used his calculus textbook as a spell book on a youth retreat!

just learned like 5 years of math from middle-highschool with 1 video uhum

There's no link in the description Also, thank you for introducing me to Alan Becker, this is one of the coolest videos i've ever seen

5:49 woah. That’s a long number!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Really appreciated the breakdown. Bunch of the things there i didn’t know🧐. Thanks!

WE NEED YOU ON ANIMATION VS PHYSICS

I always love seeing a mathematician discover this video, the reactions are amazing.

If you enjoyed this video, you'll enjoy Alan Becker's Animation vs. Physics video that he just posted today! It's a must check out

As someone who nearly fails every math class, I have to explain that this is what I see to my professors.

That was some good teaching you've performed there 👏

When Jack had to pull out a Whiteboard for his analysis on a reaction video.

That was a good video, I enjoyed your additions.

I’m so disappointed that I never was good at math. It’s the only subject I truly struggled in. But this video makes me so happy, and honestly, I feel like I learned from this.

I'm a computer engineer and I showed this to my other CE buddies. We ultimately agreed that this is the kind of video they should use to teach math in class, it helps a lot of people visualize the formulas and it also makes math actually look interesting.

@18:08 DOOM's BFG is actually a Big Funcing Gun.

They just uploaded an "Animation vs Physics" just an hour ago!

I start watching the video, and very quickly I'm like: "I like this guys voice a lot." Subbed!

Now you need to watch Animation vs Physics!

I love the 'power up' sound when it switches to Taylor Series, truly ASMR.

The sound design of this was on par with the movie Interstellar.

I only ever had CP Geo and I’m in h trig now, but sometimes I’ll understand something and it’s so freaking cool

he just uploaded a second part to his 3d series and it is EPIC

A few minutes ago i watched a mathematician react Animation vs Physic, now imma watch a physicist react Animation vs Math

13:28 YOU PAUSED AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT POINT OMG

"That's a bit excessive isn't it?" My thoughts exactly 😂

MUST WATCH: Animation vs Physics

wait until he sees animation v physics...

When TSC increased the radius of his perfect circle weapon platform to 100, increasing the area of effect of his custom function f(x) gun specifically formed to combat Euler's Identity [if you input that e to the function it results in 0, effectively turning the Euler clones into nothing], which is loaded with a magazine(?) of the symbol of infinity [which I think now shoots the set of ALL real numbers in a wave]; after which he uses his custom made cos and sin hammers, forged by ripping pi in half, all so he could make what I assume to be a constant sinusoid Death Ray so strong, it started cracking a hole between the Real and Complex Number Dimensions, well I was shook.

You are much smarter than the Harvard math guy reacting to this same video. God bless you

he dropped a new video animation vs physics

i think you're gonna enjoy the second episode which is Animation vs Physics!

Jack should react to Animation vs Physics
