Numberphile is an educational YouTube channel featuring videos that explore topics from a variety of fields of mathematics.[1][2] In the early days of the channel, each video focused on a specific number, but the channel has since expanded its scope, featuring videos on more advanced mathematical concepts such as Fermat's Last Theorem, the Riemann hypothesis[3] and Kruskal's tree theorem.[4] The videos are produced by Brady Haran, a former BBC video journalist and creator of Periodic Videos, Sixty Symbols, and several other YouTube channels.[5] Videos on the channel feature several university professors, maths communicators and famous mathematicians.[6][7]
In 2018, Haran released a spin-off audio podcast titled The Numberphile Podcast.[8]
YouTube channel[edit]
The Numberphile YouTube channel was started on 15 September 2011. Most videos consist of Haran interviewing an expert on a number, mathematical theorem or other mathematical concept.[9] The expert usually draws out their explanation on a large piece of brown paper and attempts to make the concepts understandable to the average, non-mathematician viewer.[10] It is supported by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and Math for America.[11][12] Haran also runs the "Numberphile2" channel, which includes extra footage and further detail than the main channel.[13]
The channel was nominated for a Shorty Award in Education in 2016.[14] The New York Times has said, 'At Numberphile, mathematicians discourse, enthusiastically and winningly, on numbers'.[15]
