Best online mathematics videos?

Question

I know of two good mathematics videos available online, namely:

Sphere inside out (part I and part II)
Moebius transformation revealed

Do you know of any other good math videos? Share.

The sphere eversion video is available in one part on Google Videos: http://bit.ly/2Bmj3Z — Harrison Brown, Oct 21 '09 at 20:33
The sphere eversion video is great, and it seems like a really good way to explain topology and the idea of an invariant to a non-mathematician. On the other hand, I wouldn't expect someone to sit for 20 minutes just to find out what I care about. Does anyone have recommendations of shorter videos that achieve similar goals? — Aaron Mazel-Gee, Oct 22 '09 at 06:26
I protected this one as it seems a clear candidate for this and as it just got reactivated and thus I noticed it. If you see a problem with this please let me know, or bring it up on meta. — , Dec 07 '13 at 12:58
You missed to specify for which group / level of knowledge you are searching the "best mathematics videos". This makes it hard to answer. If you have 10 to 18 years old, you find great video material here (in German, all Youtube videos are with subtitles, thus translatable to English): http://www.matheretter.de/mathe-videos — Avatar, Oct 07 '15 at 07:32
@HarrisonBrown: The link you give appears to be broken in the meantime. Probably you mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_w4HYXuo9M. — Stefan Kohl, Oct 25 '15 at 18:06

This is a very cute story! For people who'd prefer a slightly less cryptic description: the video is about two brothers, both professional mathematicians, who helped the Metropolitan Museum of Art construct a high-resolution digital image of a medieval tapestry. The tapestry had been photographed in thirty or so overlapping chunks, but the chunks didn't fit together into a consistent image. With the help of a graduate student, the brothers tracked down the source of the mysterious inconsistencies, and then figured out how to correct them.

Watched a few Videos. But Wildberger is often trying to push his own views onto students, which he calls "Rational Trigonometry" (as in, Angles should be 0 to 1 instead of 0 to 2$\pi$. This makes the videos hard to watch, as they are not consistent with other books/lectures. – Michael Kissner Jul 20 '11 at 08:23

I feel that I have something new to add. I sometimes make mathematical videos, and I should make more. Here is one about a 3D diagram that I made of the happy family, in group theory. There are a lot of other videos on my channel, however, not pertaining to mathematics such as singing and art, but I hope that in the future I will make more mathematical content.

It's not a single video (and sadly there hasn't been any new content in a year!), but Richard Borcherds's channel has some of the best math content I've seen. If I have to pick one I'll go with this video from his Rings series about Burnside rings and differential operator rings as an illustration of his style; for me, at least, it's a source of excellent insight into fields (cough) I know very little about.

The University of New South Wales in Sydney has an eLearning channel on YouTube that contains lectures on a number of topics, including Algebraic Topology, Calculus, and Linear Algebra. Some computing and engineering topics are covered as well.

The video that I am adding here is a new upload in Youtube. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUl28Pjz89M

I have seen many videos on 21-card trick and also read many blogs on it. A very few of them has attempted to explain why this trick works. The ones give the proof, is pretty involved and requires some inclination towards the subject to understand this. But, this video has taken a totally different approach to explain the trick and why it works in a visual way. The approach is easy to understand for anyone. This is a great way of helping students get attracted towards Mathematics.

Best online mathematics videos?
