Most instructive/well made educational computer science/math videos?

Posted by jonluca (edited )

What are some of your favorite videos that explain deep topics in depth?

I've recently been on a 3blue1brown binge (youtube) and am looking for more videos of that ilk. Doesn't have to be a series or a consistent uploader, one off videos are sometimes the best. Just thought I'd ask ~comp if there's anything in particular that comes to mind.

This is in part inspired by the video posted by /u/Deimos in the Technical Goals section of Tildes, titled Simplicity Matters

    There's a series that teaches you how to make an 8-bit computer here. It's really interesting- I've just ordered the parts myself.

    Inigo Quilez makes some great videos about using math to make computer graphics (as well as a website and a shadertoy page that are worth checking out).

    I've really enjoyed CubeDrone for some basic concepts effortlessly explained. Usually my first link I give people who ask a question on anything he's covered.

    This Youtube channel has lots of physics and math videos that explain the subject (some fairly advanced) in an easy to understand way.
