I mentioned last week that I would do a post about the Vi Hart videos. It is probably that many of you already know about Vi Hart, but if this post introduces even one more new person to her genius, then it is worth it.
If you look at Vi Hart’s Wikipedia entry, you will see that she calls herself a “Full-Time Recreational Mathemusician”. She has her own YouTube Channel, and also partners with Khan Academy to create videos about math. To put it simply, Vi Hart makes math entertaining.
My students particularly enjoy her Fibonacci series (here is a link to Part 1). As I mentioned last week, she has become their math hero, and when they designed their own math museums, many of them dedicated rooms to her.
You can learn more about how Vi Hart films her videos by going here: http://www.ebsstudios.com/vi-hart.html, or watching the video I have embeddeded below.
