I feel like the Manim[1] library Grant created to make these videos is becoming some sort of "video matplotlib". I've seen it used in so many maths videos up to this point. There seems like a good amount of value in creating a simple, structured and clear way to represent these concepts in videos.

I never knew he made a whole open source project for it, nor that it was even a library doing the animation. I thought he hand-animated his videos. Brilliant.


If you want to see the power of PowerPoint math animation, see Mathologer.


What made his videos catch my eye was the plotting of the vector text fonts, I love that effect. I'm pretty sure he used the Hershey fonts in early videos.
