Curvature of a Riemannian Manifold | Riemannian Geometry
In this lecture, we define the exponential mapping, the Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci curvature tensor, and scalar curvature. The focus is on an intuitive explanation of the curvature tensors. The curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric is a very large stumbling block for many student

Understanding and computing the Riemann zeta function
In this video I explain Riemann's zeta function and the Riemann hypothesis. I also implement and algorithm to compute the return values - here's the Python script:https://gist.github.com/Nikolaj-K/996dba1ff1045d767b10d4d07b1b032f

Riemann Sum Defined w/ 2 Limit of Sums Examples Calculus 1
I show how the Definition of Area of a Plane is a special case of the Riemann Sum. When finding the area of a plane bound by a function and an axis on a closed interval, the width of the partitions (probably rectangles) does not have to be equal. I work through two examples that are rela

More identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function!
By applying some combinatorial tricks to an identity from https://youtu.be/2W2Ghi9idxM we are able to derive two identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/

Some identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function.
After introducing the Riemann-Zeta function we derive a generating function for its values at positive even integers. This generating function is used to prove two sum identities. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/

Behavior of Welschinger Invariants Under Morse Simplification - Erwan Brugalle
Erwan Brugalle Universite de Paris 6 November 9, 2012 Welschinger invariants, real analogs of genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants, provide non-trivial lower bounds in real algebraic geometry. In this talk I will explain how to get some wall-crossing formulas relating Welschinger invariants o

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?
This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation
