    I do not expect you to read this or even see it but I've really been impacted by you a lot. I used to just be a math kid getting good grades and getting through it easily, but ever since i started watching you my love for science has been skyrocketing. Right now I'm actually deciding whether or not I want to go into music or into science for college (I will probably just try and do both), and I'm not really concerned about it because I know either way I won't stop loving science. You have really made science a part of my life and I can't thank you enough for that. (also yes I notice this is a more math sided video but it was when this popped up in my head)

A lot of people wanted me to do piano or voice as a major because those are my two best instruments by a long shot, but I didn’t see how I could further the connection of science in those fields. I am also exploring the science of coffees and such as I’m planning to work as a barista while in college.

    That was wonderful, but at the end you proved this:
    Given that you have a triangle with vertices on a circle, if one edge is a diameter of the circle, then the opposing angle is a right angle.
    You wanted to show the converse:
    Given that you have a triangle with vertices on a circle, if one of its angles is a right angle, then its opposing side is a diameter of the circle.
    Granted, the steps to prove this direction were also explained very nicely in the course of the video, so it's not the biggest crime of the century.

    Thank you!!! I always have heck of a time finding a circle's true diameter in pursuit of it's center. I knew there had to be a way to check one's work without remeasuring and redrawing the crosshairs.

    At 4:23, Michael says, "Now Thales's Theorem tells us that the two other points,
    where these rays contact the circumference, are diametrically opposed. They are on opposite sides of the circle and a line passing through them will pass through the centre."
    Isn't this the converse of Thales's Theorem? Yes, the converse is true as well, but what was stated in the video isn't Thales's theorem; it's the converse.

    • @EkajArmstro
      @EkajArmstro Před 3 lety

      Yea this is what I'm thinking as well, and the proof at the end does not prove the converse. I think the proof of the converse follows from the inscribed angle theorem, and I found this proof of that: czcams.com/video/MyzGVbCHh5M/video.html
