3d scenes on 2d film, and a diffraction lesson along the way.
Instead of sponsored ad reads, these lessons are funded directly by viewers: https://3b1b.co/support
An equally valuable form of support is to share the videos.

3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate. If you’re reading the bottom of a video description, I’m guessing you’re more interested than the average viewer in lessons here. It would mean a lot to me if you chose to stay up to date on new ones, either by subscribing here on YouTube or otherwise following on whichever platform below you check most regularly.
