Question

Random thought:
How many of you would love studying math if there was a youtube channel of an adorable-looking anime-girl with a melodious voice teaching you math, and all the diagrams/handwritings are perfectly straight.

I was browsing channels that can teach me stupid analysis of functional limits, and everyone is an old guy.

LOL like if anyone's ever good at animation, they'll probably get tons of school-kid viewers by making an anime channel dedicated to education. (Hence the real robot revolution to take over teachers' jobs).

Answer 1

Going off of this topic, imagine an incredible accurate chat-bot that's able to teach college-leveled courses to students.

Oh my, whoever invents that first.

Answer 3

She used to work for a math channel and churned out probably 100+ videos but they had a falling out so she started her own channel and puts them out at her own pace. Unfortunately after the falling out, all those old videos got torched :/

Answer 4

The concepts ranged from rudimentary Algebra into calculus.

Answer 5

The most I ever payed attention to math.

Answer 6

This was the torched channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/mathbff

Answer 7

You can see the non-congruency of 400k subscribers to three videos

Answer 8

So to answer your question, all anyone needs to do is find an attractive woman with a math degree and good handwriting (with women, hardly an issue in my experience).

Answer 10

Perhaps hiring actors/modelers would suffice, but they'll ask for a lot of money usually

Answer 11

Either way math is gross

Answer 12

Just find one for consistency

Answer 13

And it could just be someone from your university.

Answer 14

There's usually one wahmen in the mathematics department per, what, 50 men?

Answer 15

Hmm...there are filters where you can transform your voice into a cute-lovely one, and transform your face into a 2D/3D model (anime is optional), and so project that through a screen and start teaching.

Answer 16

That's a jebait though

Answer 17

It wouldn't slide over well with the male dominated YouTube and male dominated mathematics field intersecting at your doorstep.

There's no need for filters, let's just have deepfake videos of females teaching math

Answer 19

Amen @justjm

Answer 20

Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm just the dude who woke up from an afternoon nap (:

For the statistically best outreach, we'd need to find some studies on male attraction -> female features. Men are doing poorly in school right now. These are the lengths we must take.

Answer 21

Therefore anyone who is not serious about this, leave the post now.

Answer 22

@mhchen What kind of experience/credentials do you think the candidates ought to have?

Answer 23

Would a bachelors in mathematics suffice? Would fields in mathematically rigorous sectors be acceptable (Statistics, Physics, Astrophysics, etc) ? What about work experience?

Answer 24

I'd just look at their ability to convey a math concept well. I won't look at their degrees/experience.

Answer 25

So what you're saying is, you'll teach them the concepts?

Answer 26

Woah dude, don't discuss this in-depth with me now I still need to work on my homework. Find someone else.

I'm just thinking about optimizing the best teacher through what characteristics they exhibit.

(and the characteristics becomes variables which we can plot, and run an algorithm to find the line of best fit to which correlates to a better teacher)

Answer 27

I get you. Let's get it all up on the drawing board for our next meeting.

Answer 28

Honestly, @jigglypuff314 could handle the math, and @EclipsedStar could do the voice, then I can do the computer generated graphics for anime waifus teaching math.

We could be the kizuna ai of math

Answer 29

Do it
And promote qc

Answer 30

So your optimal audience is males?
