The fundamental approach behind Khan Academy is a 'tutorial-style', which is an electronic supplement to sitting down with a tutor and working through ideas, concepts and problems.ģBlue1Brown primarily focuses on concepts, intuition and provides stunning visuals that keep the viewer very entertained while learning math. Computations, in my opinion, are an essential component of understand (I suspect this sentence to be attacked in the comments). There is no point you telling me how much you claim to know about the derivative and how it is so intuitive if you can't use that to tell me what the derivative of a quadratic function is.

Khan Academy primarily treats concepts and homework style problems that are undoubtedly essential for success in mathematics. There is a valley between them, however, that Grant Sanderson (the creator behind 3b1b) has even pointed out: Of course, I love channels like numberphile and FlammableMath, etc., but I think Khan Academy and 3b1b are two distinct pillars in the YouTube math education arena. Of the many great math education YouTube channels that are available today, two stand out for me: Khan Academy and 3Blue1Brown.
