In this video we'll explore Conway's "Base-13 function" which maps any real interval to the real line. It is a function which is discontinuous everywhere, yet still has the intermediate value property: making it a counter example to the converse of the intermediate value theorem.
FAQ : How do you make these animations?
Animations are mostly made in Apple Keynote which has lots of functionality for animating shapes, lines, curves and text (as well as really good LaTeX). For some of the more complex animations, I use the Manim library. Editing and voiceover work in DaVinci Resolve.
