Pythagorean Theorem

I spent about a year investigating the Pythagorean Theorem and learned a lot of cool math concepts. I summarize it in a video series called "A Pythagorean Theorem Story". The series is organized in 2 parts of 5 videos each. Part 1, titled "Following Brilliance" focuses on 3 main proofs of the Theorem. Part 2, titled "Lost and on my own" takes a step back and compares and contrasts the proofs. This was the real fun part as I had no road map to follow. By giving myself permission to be curious, I discovered new things that I had never seen before. The entire series is a journey of discovery and appreciating the beauty of geometry.
