Even the Numberphile YouTube Channel.

He was very serious about improving maths education and actually did alot.

Man. That Numberphile episode on Fermat's Last Theorem with Simon Singh had me on the edge of my seat like I was as a child when Darth Maul pulled out that double-bladed lightsaber during Phantom Menace. I'm not a math major either.

I thought Numberphile is sponsored by Jane St. Another math focused quant firm.

They have many sponsors.

Jim Discovered their channel, liked it and invited them to his New York Apartment for an interview. [1]

From that time forward, all Numberphile videos have "Simons Foundation" at the end listed as a sponsor.

Quanta is by the Simons Foundation, whereas the Numberphile YouTube channel is simply sponsored by them.

Good point! Far and away the best popularization of recent results, at least in the eyes of a mathematician.

And lots of great work in quantitative biology, which is hard to get funded elsewhere.
