Who I want to become when I grow up (perspective of pop-science)

Posted on Apr 1, 2026

There are several authors and projects about mathematics that I admire unbelievably.
Obviously, compared to them, everything that exists in this blog is absolutely kindergarten-level.
Which makes it even more important to mention them. (The order is random)


3Blue1Brown

A classic and, apparently, one of the founders of the modern genre of mathematical visualization.

Alfredo Canziani

I attended his seminars.
His visualizations are simply a piece of art.

Gabriel Peyré

Here, everything is related to optimal transport.
But besides that, he also has a GitHub for experimental computational mathematics and it is an entirely new level in teaching.

Francis Bach

This is simply the blog of a true visionary about machine learning theory and mathematics.

Welch Labs

Geniuses of machine learning visualization.

Djalil Chafaï

I do not understand most of the mathematics he works on, but one can easily spend a good hour just looking through the pictures on this website.

Alexander Shen’

Unfortunately, most of his texts and lectures are only in Russian, but I think I have watched everything available on YouTube, and this is the peak of pedagogy.


The list will continue to grow.
