A beautiful solution to the Basel Problem (1+1/4+1/9+1/16+...) using Euclidian geometry. Unlike many more common proofs, this one makes it very clear why pi is involved in the answer.

So, have you ever wondered why some stars are brighter than others? You might think it's because they're closer to us, but that's not the whole story? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about how stars glow and how...

This video shows students how to support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth. The program helps students conduct a hands-on experiment...
