Numberphile has audio and video podcasts. Producer Brady Haran does a very good job in the audio podcasts as he and his guests have to be able to explain mathematical concepts without any visual help. There are many topics also done on YouTube which allow visual aides.

Desmos is an on-line graphing calculator that allows one to explore relationships.
3blue1brown, or 3b1b for those who prefer less of a tongue-twister, centers around presenting math with a visuals-first approach. Rather than first deciding on a lesson then putting illustrations to it for the sake of having a video, almost all projects start with a particular visualization, with the narrative and storyline then revolving around this image. 3b1b is hosted by Grant Sanderson.

A great deal - free e-book. This is a magnificent way to share knowledge and encourage exploration of a completely different way of approaching math and science.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will review these channels.
ReplyDeleteI viewed some of their videos. Burkard and Leonard are both very good. I subscribed to both and will continue to watch.
