Grant Sanderson (@3blue1brown) is the founder of the math outreach and education YouTube channel 3blue1brown, which has over two million subscribers and over 85 million total views. He’s collaborated with many other online educators, such as MinutePhysics, Smarter Every day, Ben Eater and more. The topics covered on the channel range from pure math, like prime numbers and strange occurrences of pi, to more applied topics, like neural networks, physics, and how cryptocurrencies work, and from topics commonly seen in school, like calculus, to ones outside a traditional curriculum, like fractal dimension.
