This Fibonacci joke is as bad as the last two you heard combined.

mathematics is not just solving for x, its also figuring out y. lol. good one!

i hope math teachers will always tell their students the "why" rather than letting the students to memorise things. I wish i grew up with this videos on youtube.

He enjoyed himself while explaining this...

This guy is like the Bob Ross of Math, so full of joy for what he does

Man I swear Arthur Benjamin is just a bundle of joyfulness and maths, what a guy

I am not the biggest fan of math, mostly because my brain just cant comprehend it, but i couldn't stop smiling throughout this video. I knew maths could be beautiful, but it's so rare i can comprehend its beauty.

This is one example of a Ted Talk which just stops. It should have gone on for at least another hour!

In the introduction to his book, Fibonacci (c. 13th century CE) makes the following revelations

I wish I had this guy as my math teacher. He actually makes it enjoyable and interesting. :)

This makes sense to me! I remember back in high school I'm always wondering the "why's" for the formula. I mean, math teachers force us to memorize the formula but doesn't explain to us why it was formed, what significance does it has, on what real life scenario we can apply it to.

People don't realize that we, as students must "Learn how to Learn" first!

We need more teachers with the passion of this man!

Why on earth is this only 6.25 min?! I was really getting into it then it ended! Aren’t ted talks usually 15 min?! So sad over here.

It's not the fact that teachers can't make math exciting. It's just that math teachers aren't trained to think like mathematicians. Even with a math degree, I can honestly say that I did not realize why adding the squares of Fibonacci numbers resulted in 8x13. It is a beautiful connection but it is a very obscure one that only classically trained mathematicians can see. You can't expect a regular math teacher to generate this kind of material for students because it takes years of mathematical dedication to get to that level.

Fibonacci number is found in a textbook written by an ancient Indian saint Pingala(200 BC). and it's discovery is said to be much more older than that text
