To the critics from the mathematical world, I say 'what have you done to make the subject accessible to a wider audience?'

    Enjoyed your presentation - Generally disliked mathematics until I began my first calculus courses in engineering school in 1955. ( In retrospect, the choice of electrical engineering is a bit weird for one who dislikes math )
    I found that mathematics is a language which gives us ways to measure, and predict not only the physical world - energy, forces, mass, velocity, acceleration, electrostatics, electrodynamics - but social, economic, political behavior and action.
    Now in my late 80s, I still enjoy solving math "puzzles"/problems, and programming such things as missile - target engagement and financial predictions.

    Calculus is the ordinary everyday appearance of "condensed" Time, the cause-effect of Eternity-now.
    This is the best way to develop at least a practical understanding, by putting designs to the test and beginning the kind of iterative process that eventually clarifies the math in context.
    _____
    The boundary layer properties of air flow against the wing surface is interesting in the circumstances of the "One Electron" theory, in which orthogonality of reciprocal, radial, tangential, modulated timing, to limts of omnidirectional-dimensional spatial strata, are organized by the Quantum Mechanism in concentric fields of Spinfoams. Ie it's the "atomist" e-Pii resonant manifestation of temporal superposition/everything in relative proportions of quantum information, as in the Single Side Band format described by String Theory..., SSB because the observed universe is estimated to be a relative 4% of the probable Universe composed in a QM-TIME wave-package.
    The result, in each point of resonant positioning, is the sifting of the layers of cofactors and primes in superimposed probability/perspective - modular/molecular orbital, through the conduction/bonding field zones, as turbulent flow.
    _____
    And "confirming" that idea is the basis of observational evidence,.. that the integration, sum of all historical data.., or substantiated evidence, is the probabilistic empirical result of thousands of years perceptions of mathematical practices. At the "center of mass" of objects in calculations, are the probabilistic objective vanishing points/.dt, of material characteristics, the superficial focus of properties sufficient to position the objects in "repeatable experiment" calculations.
    So although the mathematical process demonstrated in the video may seem ephemeral and subjective, it is the act-ual multi-phase existence, elemental meaning of stated principles, by the modulated-measured use of computational timing, ..the natural quantum operator/timing methodologies.
    _____
    In other words, this lecture represents an excellent example of the observable mathematical elements used in the construction of an emulation methodology, corresponding to the natural e-Pi-i of the act-uality of eternity-now, QM-Time calculation/modulation, self-defining existence.
    "Sizeless" 1-0D Superposition-point existence of Eternity manifests physically as infinite spacetime, an omnidirectional surface brane normal to the point singularity connection of 1-0Duration now, so it's the self-defining Origin of the Polar-Cartesian Coordination of elemental reference to connected unity, that may be chosen arbitrarily anywhere-then here-now automatically "renormalizes" all zreo to infinity relative scaling intervals, functional/dimensional references at the Origin, in Perspective, (eg a designated "y" axis). Ie it's a Numerical ratio/rational frequency of e-Pi-i resonance brane normal to the sum of all history setting, in the location of the Quantum unit vector of observable universe.., identified geometrically.
    _____
    If Eternity-now is the QM-Time frequency-amplitude modulation mechanism spectrum of the .dt temporal superposition singularity-superspin, then it's familiar identity/methodology is The Calculus, and the "envisioned" concept of Universal continuity is the emulation, One Electron theory.., (not only electronic, it's basic Principle), which provides an initial format to couple with the Methodology shown here, for reasoning and abstracting the actual cause-effect of Temporal Superposition, Eternity-now, ..first "origin-al" principle. (Equivalent to the consolidated Observation, the Reduction of guesstimation, ..of Everything, ..that is the Origin of postulates, hypothesis, and theory, to Technology/Methodology in Actuality/Practice)

    The amount of compute power available would see those simulations she talked about when this video was made to run in a fraction of the time now
    Many of those factors she used to have to dismiss because they were considered too small or would require too much compute power would now be within easy reach
    Machine learning would enable a multitude of designed to be run and the optimal solution derived
    Her skill in the maths aspect would be yeilded to the computer aspect but the mathmatical modeling and factors to take into account would require experience and domain knowledge, that I think would be her forte
