And as you may have noticed, the laser video with Seb is not out yet. I think it's going to trail this one by quite a while.
Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters funded this video. Normally I would just visit a maths museum and have a fun day out. But thanks to you all, I was able to hire a camera person to follow me around. Plus I did a day of prep-work writing code before my visit and a day of generating plots after the visit. That's thanks to Patreon. (Who am I kidding; I would have done the coding and plots anyway.) https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths
