I watched this when it came out a few weeks ago and I just could not follow along. I'm a bit ashamed about since I use math for a living, and since I've taken and done well in done graduate level physics courses, including electricity and magnetism. But I just do not understand anything more than looking at the numbers to the left of the decimal rather than to the right. But all of the formalism just whizzed right by.
