A “straightforward” application of FFT results in a runtime of O(N * log(n) log(log(n)) ). That log(log(n)) term is tiny, but it is only recently in 2019, Harvey and van der Hoeven found an algorithm that removed that log(log(n)) term.Another small correction at 17:00. I describe O(N^2) as meaning "the number of operations needed scales with N^2". However, this is technically what Theta(N^2) would mean. O(N^2) would mean that the number of operations needed is at most constant times N^2, in particular, it includes algorithms whose runtimes don't actually have any N^2 term, but which are bounded by it. The distinction doesn't matter in this case, since there is an explicit N^2 term.These animations are largely made using a custom python library, manim.

He mentioned the earliest reference he knows for the tile puzzles is David and Tomei's AMM article titled "The problem of Calissons."The idea to include the tetrahedron volume example was based on a conversation with Po Shen Lo about these puzzles, during which he mentioned the case of one dimension lower.I received the cone correction to the proof of Monge's theorem from Akos Zahorsky via email. Also, the Bulgarian team leader Velian Velikov brought up the same argument, and just shot me a message saying "I came across it in a book I found online titled 'Mathematical Puzzles' by Peter Winkler. There, it is attributed to Nathan Bowler"I referenced quaternions at the end, and if you're curious to learn more, here are a few options.This is a nice talk targetted at game developers:https://youtu.be/en2QcehKJd8This video walks through concretely what the computation is for using quaternions to compute 3d rotations: https://youtu.be/-zsnHbQyRncMy own video on the topic is mainly focused on understanding what they do up in four dimensions, which is not strictly necessary for using them, but for math nerds like me may be satisfying:https://youtu.be/d4EgbgTm0BgAlso, one of the coolest projects I've ever done was a collaboration with Ben Eater to make interactive videos based on that topic:https://eater.net/quaternionsTimestamps- 0:00 - Intro- 0:32 - Twirling tiles- 6:45 - Tarski Plank Problem- 10:24 - Monge’s Theorem - 17:26 - 3D Volume, 4D answer- 18:51 - The hypercube stack- 25:52 - The sadness of higher dimensionsSEV#3: https://youtu.be/vXBtyYvMx24------------------These animations are largely made using a custom Python library, manim.
