Immediate learning, clear explanations
Effortless poise, elegance, and clarity
Thorough yet fun overviews into short videos
Mesmerizing presentation
Straight to the point with no nonsense
Brilliant content
Learned and was entertained
Potential for minor inaccuracies (precision vs. resolution)

Lack of comprehensive coverage in some specific videos (Matplotlib)
Teacher's Experience5.0
Long-standing presence, got students through abstract algebra years ago leading to PhD
Established track record, consistent quality ('every video is a winner')
Concern over a change in presenter ('space woman' comment) implies a strong connection to the original presenter, though not a lack of experience for the channel itself.
Study Material4.0
Thorough yet fun overviews into short videos
Outstanding writing and production values
Background ambiance noise
Charming videos, awesome animations, feels like a documentary
Covers advanced topics (abstract algebra, numpy, linear algebra)
Scope of some videos might be too narrow or misleadingly titled (Matplotlib)
Choice of tools/libraries might be considered outdated or inefficient by some (Matplotlib, Tkinter)
Doubt Support3.0
Tests & Practice3.0
Flexibility4.0
Short videos (implies self-paced, digestible chunks)
'I can watch this all day' (implies on-demand availability)
Fees vs Value5.0

What students love

Wow, blast from the past! You guys got me through abstract algebra years ago, and now I'm in the final months of my PhD in math!

I always pronounced it 'numpy' as in 'dumpy', but 'num py' makes more sense. 20 seconds in and I've already learned something!

She's back! And even brought the background ambiance noise... pure bliss.

Effortless poise, elegance, and clarity from Ulka Simone Mohanty. Every video is a winner.

It's been a while, welcome back! As always, the presentation has such a mesmerizing effect. I would watch/listen to this even if she was selling dog food!

These videos are charming. Numpy and linear algebra is the best. Animations are pretty awesome, feels like a documentary.

How on earth did I never come across your channel until today? Your stuff is brilliant!

Learned and was entertained. Fast follow! I can watch this all day. Is there a complete Python tutorial set like this?

What could be better

Minute 2:46: An instrument capable of measuring more decimals is not more PRECISE, it has simply a higher RESOLUTION. That is a completely different concept!

The correct way to deal with stock options: Look at risk factors, possible gain/loss, who you're playing against, then walk away. This course might make people feel too smart.

You should've rather named the video 'Pyplot in 2D in Python'. Matplotlib is much more than just static 2D plots and you covered less than a third of it. Your SciPy video was much better.

The quality of the video is excellent. The only problem is that matplotlib is out of date, in my opinion.

Hey, what happened to the space woman? Did someone kidnap her? Or did you guys start using AI to cut costs?

Using Tkinter to build windows is slow and error prone. Forget about it! Instead, find a tool like Visual Studio to visually build user interfaces...
