Description: A comprehensive review of how mathematicians think about and notate huge numbers.
Positives:
Metzler starts with concepts and notation that most high school students and even precocious middle school students have seen and works “up” from there.
Each video is relatively short and covers a “huge number” topic or two that most mathematically-inclined people can follow.
Negatives:
It’s a long series, and after the first few videos, the concepts and notation become quite esoteric.

Thanks for the post, I’ll take a look at the channel when I have the time. It looks interesting in a “recreational maths” kind of way.
