Five of the most famous RH videos on YouTube

Share

If you have followed the RH Saga, you have almost certainly also seen many of the other RH-related videos from other YouTube channels. Still, I have collected here five of the best general introductions to RH, in case there are some you want to watch or rewatch. At the very least, a rewatch of these will be more rewarding than rewatching the recent Sweden-Netherlands game.

The first one by HexagonVideos is by far the deepest, as it covers in some detail how the Riemann spectrum connects to the primes, using a more refined version of "prime waves".

Here is a perhaps not-so-well-known video from the Mathemagicians' Guild, visualising the Riemann zeta function in a few different ways. It would be very nice to have similar visualizations of general L-functions!

This might be the most famous RH video of all, from 3Blue1Brown:

A classic, with Numberphile and Edward Frenkel:

And finally, the Quanta video where the Riemann hypothesis is explained in very down-to-earth terms by Alex Kontorovich:
