Default Videos: Thinking in 4 dimensions

I thought you guys might be interested in this - It's a series of video lessons detailing how to visualise four-dimensional dynamical systems...

Here they are in English:

The way everything is set up, I have to say, is very genius. Each video takes you one step closer to being ABLE to COMPREHEND the fourth dimension which is really all you can achieve with 3 dimensional images on a 2 dimensional screen. I watched up to video 7 yesterday in one sitting and honestly felt like my brain could not take in any more information after that. I'm gonna watch them over again cause I'm not entirely satisfied with my level of understanding so far. It's definitely a good idea to watch it if anything like this stuff interests you.

The fine line between genius and madness

I'm fortunate in that I can usualy grasp that sort of thing intuitivaly. Good lessons though, and handy for when intuition fails me.

Pretty clearly laid out, but things just keep getting weirder and weirder as you keep moving on.

I got lost after the complex number stuff, for the most part. That part was absolutely amazing.... the Mandelbrot set is trippy as hell
