Friday math movie: Vi Hart Visual Multiplication and 48/2(9+3)

By Murray Bourne, 17 Feb 2012

Vi Hart suggests an alternative to the usual multiplication algorithm taught in schools.

From the video:

"Don't let notation get in the way of your understanding."

I totally agree with her there.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
