My goals with the software relate to using it for making math education videos for the Taylor Series (and a few other unrelated creative projects). Well, I'd like to give something back! --- Useful Perlin Noise Links: Code Behind Perlin Noise: https://rtouti.github.io/graphics/perlin-noise-algorithm Understanding Perlin Noise: https://adrianb.io/2014/08/09/perlinnoise.html A good glossary for terms related to noise: http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/glossary/#lacunarity Dot Product resource: https://betterexplained.com/articles/vector-calculus-understanding-the-dot-product/ --- Links to other amazing Blender tutorial makers: CG Matter: https://www.youtube.com/c/CGMatter Blender Guru: https://www.youtube.com/c/BlenderGuruOfficial Erindale: https://www.youtube.com/c/Erindale Blender Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/c/BlenderSecrets Curtis Holt: https://www.youtube.com/c/CurtisHolt Ducky 3D: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuNhGhbemBkdflZ1FGJ0lUQ Polyfjord: https://www.youtube.com/c/Polyfjord --- The Taylor Series aims help people love math.

I rarely ask this, but please share this video! This is a more serious video than my usual fare. But, understanding better how the math behind these epidemics work can help inform us about what's to come and what we can do. A short bit of background, if you'll indulge me. I have been wanting to make a video on this topic, but things moved so quickly that each time I started a version of this, current events outpaced me. So, I cranked this out in a single day from writing to filming to editing to publishing! As a result, some of the audio is a bit messed up, and there are fewer animations and gags. But, the math is still good, so I hope you'll take something away. Hopefully, I don't have any typos this time (disclaimer: I always hope this; it does me no good). Extra Special Thanks to Brad Heller for helping me iron out this video!

In today's Vlog, I outline how to deal with scenarios wherein you get the right answer from the wrong work. :) --- The Taylor Series aims help people love math.
