I started thisismath.org as a naive college kid in 2011 because there weren&#x27;t any good video lectures on advanced maths. I knew it was going to be difficult but I couldn&#x27;t appreciate how much work would go into actually editing the videos at the quality that I wanted until I felt the true weight of the commitment. I was in over my head and after a few videos I confronted the reality that I didn&#x27;t have the extra time to commit and I just trailed off.<p>I still think there&#x27;s an important need for advanced math video resources, and we should commend anyone who puts in the effort.
