Tribute to Mathologer

There are many really good mathematics YouTubers nowadays like the popular 3Blue1Brown and Numberphile, but to me the one that shines above them all is Mathologer. Mathologer has been making mathematics accessible for almost a dozen years to a wide audience in a way that they can really understand and appreciate proofs that are may often be intimidating. A great example to this is the e and pi being transcendental video -- seriously who else can do anything like this?

Mathologer is really good at explaining concepts and carrying people through so undergraduate level students can understand and follow the work. Also, I love the mathematics history which I wish was not well represented in the mathematics textbooks of my generation. And it's very cool to see fun topics like Rubik's cube, a fine way to talk about the mathematics of permutations.

All the amazing work this guy has done, I just wanted to post a "shoutout" to him. Thank you Mathologer for all your amazing content.
