What do you think this is? Like maybe seaweed? Or... -It definitely looks like something from the sea, like... Okay well it's interesting mathematical seaweed, and I can explain exactly how we made that image, because to me that image is one of the most mind-blowing pictures, illustrations of very simple math ideas. So it is - and we're going to get there - the Collatz Conjecture. I know you've done videos on the Collatz Conjecture, but here is your quick refresher. When you take a number and we can do two things to this number depending on its parity, that's whether it is odd or it is even. If it's even, we're going to divide by two, and if it's odd, we're going to multiply by three, so triple it, and add one. -Wh...
