This supports the main channel video by explaining why mean curvature has anything to do with averages.How to find areas on a sphere: Girards theorem2maniac2024-05-27 | Taken from the main channel: youtu.be/7Ju9f9odKX4
This is for reference to a future video.Poisson distribution (extra)2maniac2023-06-27 | On the variance of the Poisson distribution.

A bit of addendum to my opinion of math education: if you think that making math not compulsory will hinder STEM education, I would like to remind you that those who hate math would most likely not be pursuing STEM-related degrees anyway. The emphasis is that the math being taught is too computational - if we are talking about more basic skills like reading statistics, then I would have no problem with it being compulsory, because most people definitely need to use those in their daily life. But for the kind of computational math in the current curricula, it is very difficult to make the argument that it is anywhere near useful in daily life, hence a lot of memes about how people have gone by a day without knowing Pythagoras theorem, or quadratic formula.
This is complementing the main video documenting the technical details of why the James-Stein estimator dominates the ordinary estimate (maximum likelihood estimator), including the reason why this only works in 3 dimensions or more, when the MLE is not admissible.
So from now on, maybe I will put some extra video that is of a complementary nature on this channel.

Recorded on Mar 3 2020. On the phone with no professional equipment, but hopefully the audio quality is ok.
I remember that I used to really like this video and decided to actually practice this arrangement. It was harder than I thought but it turned out to be ok!
Might want to do another Disney song, or some songs that we all know and love, in the future but idk, cos this is definitely copyright claimed lol
There might be something else that I want to do on this channel, maybe some more relaxing math content (?) If you think of the main channel Mathemaniac to be somewhat like 3Blue1Brown, I would want this to be somewhat like blackpenredpen. But the main channel should still be my focus.
Just thought to show you a side of me that you don't know!
Still don't want to face reveal - maybe that will change in the future idk
