§About

I'm David, a final year Electrical and Electronics Engineering student in Ife, Nigeria. QuiteBasicMath started because I kept running into math ideas in my coursework that felt too good to leave in a textbook: elegant, a little strange, and completely disconnected from how they're usually taught.

Every video starts the same way: I find one specific, slightly odd question (why does 1 show up more often than 9 as a leading digit in real data?) and build an animation around answering just that, in under a minute. I use Manim, the same animation library behind 3Blue1Brown's videos, so the visuals do the explaining instead of me talking over a whiteboard.

I'm building toward a career as a quant developer, so this channel is also where I keep my instinct for finding the interesting question in a pile of numbers sharp, one video at a time.
