In fact, I follow a lotta Mathematician YouTube channels, and I read a lotta scientific papers.

I just go to Kodumaro and come here to share what I’ve got (mostly after months or years of learning). 😬

If anyone wants it, I can share some of the channels I follow.

I've seen your blog before and I think that's the kind of scientific dissemination we need. For me it's similar with Computer Science. I started my degree to learn it and I follow experts on the matter, but reaching a general audience is harder. Getting better at it will take a lot of learning, as you say.
There are lots of people writing in tech that contribute nothing. But people like you, that have an educational spirit and care about producing quality content, are the ones that deserve more attention!
Also, if you want to share some of those channels it would be much appreciated 😄

Okay, @miguelmj ,

Let’s go into my YouTube Math&Tech channels list:

I recently updated this post, ’cause I’m used to write my posts for Kodumaro, and then I just copy the Markdown code and paste here in Dev.to.

However the Dev.to interface deals with Markdown in a different way than Kodumaro does, driving the resultant presentation to be a little odd.

I updated it fixing the differences.

In time: I use Online LaTeX Equation Editor in order to generate the formulæ.
