8:23 It's funny, because a civilian is more likely to fall victim to the gambler's fallacy, while a mathematician knows that prior results do not affect the odds of a certain instance of an event.
@audreyks6074
it's so funny seeing the different narrators reading math or science memes because they all do it differently. Jack makes jokes about it pretending to understand it while making jokes about not knowing it, Robin complains about how people like math and gets annoyed he doesn't understand and doesn't want to, Damien googles some of the principles to explain it not only to himself but also to us, Lexie just understands it all lol
@abadminecraftplayer
4:51 the reason for this is because the ratio of km to miles is approximately 1.609, and the golden ratio(the ratio of each Fibonacci number to the next) is approximately 1.618
@PixelTrainer.
Math memes and Science memes are the best subreddits Because if the narrator understands the memes, we get a cool explanation. And if they don't understand them, we get despair-filled commentary

± means plus or minus. 7.5±1.5 can both equal 6 and 9.

The "💧log (😄)" legit had me in a laughing fit.

For those who are confused about why two negative numbers (-x and -y) multiplied make a positive number, just think it in terms of complex numbers In Euler's notation, the -x becomes x • e^(π•i); whilst the -y becomes y • e^(π•i). This means that "-x • -y" can also be written as "(x • e^(π•i)) • (y • e^(π•i))"; or, as "(x • y) • (e^(π•i) • e^(π•i))". And since e^(π•i) • e^(π•i) = e^(2 • π • i) = 1; this means that term can be removed, simply leaving "x • y". This clearly shows that "-x • -y = x • y".

1:21:25 This was probably posted in the year 2014, you'd need to add 1024 in step 5 for it to work now. Keep in mind, it's only going to correct if your birthday has already passed for this year, otherwise you'd want to subtract 1 more. It will also be messed up if you're 100 or older. Adding 50 and multiplying by 20 adds 1,000 to your number, then adding the 1014 (or 1024 in the updated thing) adds in the current year. Subtracting the year you were born from the current year gives your age (assuming your birthday has passed for the year). Shoe size * 5 * 20 is the same as shoe size * 100, so your shoe size is put into the 100s place (and 1000s place if 10+) and your age would be in the ones and tens place.

I think "you will find it on the knife" is possibly the best answer to confusion about 0.999... = 1

EULER comes up People who are familiar with math: ah yes, our good friend OY-Ler. Everyone at Emkay: YOU-ler
@AlexPies1
jack and robin both pronouncing Euler YOO-ler, even AFTER robin looked him up and the pronunciation was RIGHT THERE... it just hurt me a little bit :(
@mr.pumpkinn
I understand that not all people are good at math, but looking at EmKay trying to make sense of it is just pain
@numbers0580
I can help you out with the two equations at 10:18. Both try to do the same thing, but with different levels of precision. Imagine the summation (on the left) as attempting to find the area under the curve of the equation f(x) using a series of bar graphs to fill in that area. It's a close approximation, but not completely accurate. The integral (on the right) measures the area at each continuous point. Essentially, OP is saying his potato peeling is one slice at a time, while his mother's is one continuous peel.
@Malidictus
The log one is fairly simple if you know how logarithms work (and don't mind the damn implied base 10). The logarithm of a number raised to an exponent is the same as the logarithm of just the number multipled by the exponent. For instance, log(1000) = 3, because 10^3 = 1000. At the same time, log(10^3) = 3*log(10) = 3*1 = 3, because log(10) = 1. It sounds more complicated than it is. A log is simply asking what exponent you need to raise the base to in order to get the value in brackets. A "log" is a log of base 10. Thus, a log(1000) is asking "10 to the power of WHAT equals 1000?" The answer is 3, again, because 10^3 = 1000. Math looks more complicated than it is, because it uses a bunch of obscure-looking symbols. Σ is a sum with the range given above and below. d usually denotes a derivative of whatever variable it's attached to, such as dx is the derivative of x. ∫ is an integral, which - broadly speaking, gives you the area under a curve (like the curve on a graph). Those and π are the most common.

Worst part about the match stick problem is if these were physical objects, you have to "move" two matches to get to the intended solution the way they have drawn it.

@tommarsdon5644
44:30 for those who are curious, the reason that this doesn't work is because of the fourth step. the way you remove these thing is by dividing both sides by the same amount (5x = 5•5y -> x = 5y because you divide both sides with 5). So what hapens when you get rid of 5-5? Well, you divide by 5-5; or in other words, you divide by 0.
