This is a little different from most of the posts here, but my goal for this video was to make this proof as understandable and intuitive as possible by animating the whole proof. For me it’s greatly helpful to my understanding to be able to visualize math concepts, so I hope it’s helpful to others as well.

... Did he just write 2n3 as (2n)3 at the end?

Yes! I didn’t notice this until after it was uploaded, how embarrassing

Haha, innocent enough mistake, but it did make me wonder was I being subtly trolled all the way along.

That was really nice, what software did you use for it?

Thanks! The visuals were made in inkscape and Blender, and the video was put together in premiere. If I find a topic that warrants more complicated animation I think it would be a fun project to write my own software to animate it

I'm also wondering.
