Greetings! What a splendid video. I wonder how rare are the combinations of such talents -- mathematicians who thoroughly understand their subject, and can explain it with such clarity.
Given the information overload of modern society, and given the extent to which young people have abandoned textbook reading/study in favor internet surfing, I wonder if we can retreat a little from the video. as reading after all is faster. I fantasize about a presentation of an algorithm in no more than 10 steps in plain English, with links expanding, explaining and documenting each step (recursively) that may appear mysterious. It would seem that the most valuable facility will zero in on just the holes in the reader's knowledge with a few clicks.
