If you are only interested in the math videos and have no desire to be exposed to the politics of our time, then please proceed to the following page on Reddit.com. I have created a “Math in Real Life” subReddit on this social news and networking website in which only material related to “The Language of Mathematics” and “Math in Real Life” will appear. This is where you will find all the math videos from Series I, II, and IIIa organized into a Table of Contents.
Please note, as with previous years, videos produced in 2010 will only be included in the table of contents once enough content has been created to warrant organization.
For those of you that have chosen to remain on this site and are comfortable with both topics of discussion, I can only assume that you are a mature audience and I welcome you.
The following two posts should answer most of your questions regarding this blog:
chycho is looking for music and animation to help teach mathematics: Did you say you want to help end prohibition? Update for chycho.com and The Language of Mathematics: Introducing “420math” and “Math in Real life”
As for who I am? I am a firm believer that we are in large part a product of our programming, so, who I am in addition to the animated individual you see before you in the math videos can be ascertained through my influences, some of which are provided below. This list is an update of the last version of the About Page I had available on file for chycho.com, and it should provide further insight into my nature.
I hope you enjoy this labor of love, and if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Peace,
chycho
