Mathematics & Theoretical CS
Probability & game theory
Probability & game theory sits within Mathematics & Theoretical CS. Approach the subject through definitions, worked reasoning, and the connections that make an abstract idea useful. This selection contains 52 catalog videos from 37 distinct channels. The examples below offer specific entry points into the subject, with their own vocabulary and scope, rather than a prescribed sequence of lessons.
Recurring catalog topics include probability, game theory, voting systems, statistics, 3blue1brown and combinatorics. These tags describe overlapping directions within the collection; an individual video may connect several of them. Recorded formats include comedy, commentary, demo, documentary, explainer, interview, lecture, other and talk. Use those differences to choose between approaches to the subject and to compare how different contributors frame related questions.
“Why Being Delusional is a Superpower”, listed under Veritasium, is cataloged as explainer. Veritasium examines the role of luck in success, with simulations and examples showing how small advantages and chance can compound. It argues that top outcomes are disproportionately luck-driven while still crediting effort.
“Why Your Vote Doesn't Count”, listed under CGP Grey, is cataloged as explainer. CGP Grey explains first-past-the-post voting and why it pushes elections toward two dominant parties. It is the first in his series on electoral systems.
