Circle Area (classic visual proof)
Mathematical Visual Proofs
@mathvisualproofsAbout
I animate and provide some explanation for classic and newer "proofs without words," which are typically diagrams without any words that indicate how a theorem could be proved. I often pay homage to Proofs Without Words by including some animations without narration (only dramatic music :) ). I have also noticed that while there are many wonderful visual proofs available on YouTube, most of the creators do not credit the original visual proofs. I will do my best to include links and citations for each visual proof so that you can track down the original static images, which have a beauty and a wonder all their own. I create my animations using the amazing software Manimgl from 3Blue1Brown. If you want to buy me a coffee, you can do that here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VisualProofs

Video Description
This is an animation of a classic visual proof showing how to find the area of a circle by using more and more wedges and arranging them in a rectangle. #manim #mathshorts #mathvideo #math #geometry #mtbos #animation #theorem #visualproof #proof #iteachmath #mathematics #circle #area #infinite This proof can be traced to both Satō Moshun and Leonardo da Vinci (see Smith, David Eugene; Mikami, Yoshio (1914), A history of Japanese mathematics, https://archive.org/details/historyofjapanes00smituoft, page 130-132 and Beckmann, Petr (1976), A History of Pi, St. Martin's Griffin, page 19). You can also read more about this in a great NYT article by Steven Strogatz: https://archive.nytimes.com/opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/take-it-to-the-limit/ To learn more about animating with manim, check out: https://manim.community Here is the source code for this animation: https://github.com/Tom-Edgar/MVPS/blob/main/circlearea-10_10_2022.py ____________________________________ Music in this video: Epic Adventure Cinematic Music | MOVIE by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/ Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
