SoME2 results
Oct 1, 2022
After running a second iteration of the Summer of Math Exposition, the results are in! I'll reiterate the perhaps-tired point that the purpose of the event is not the winners, but to encourage math exposition more broadly. Framing it as a contest seems to be a very effective way to do that. The video above goes into more details, for instance how a delightful and unexpected consequence of the peer review process is a huge boost in YouTube recommendations for SoME2 entries.
That video also covers the criteria I had in mind when looking through the top 105 entries as determined by peer review, and forming judgements. My hope is that it serves as actionable advice for anyone looking to make online math content. Here, I'll just cut straight to the point and offer some links to entries I think you'll really enjoy.
The Winners
These are the five selected for golden pi creatures and the cash prize.
- Clear Crystal Conundrums, A Multifaceted Intro to Group Theory
- The Lore of Calculus
- How Realistic CGI Works (And How To Do It Way Faster)
- Percolation: a Mathematical Phase Transition
- The Coolest Hat Puzzle
These are the 20 selected honorable mentions, for additional smaller prizes.
- How to Take the Factorial of Any Number
- How are memories stored in neural networks?
- The shapes of waves of ships and ducks
- Differentiable Programming from Scratch
- Researchers Use Group Theory to Speed Up Algorithms — Introduction to Groups
- Pleasing Panoramas and Matrix Multiplication
- A Tale of Tangent Spheres
- Why there are no perfect maps (and why we eat pizza the way we do)
- What Lies Between a Function and Its Derivative?
- 1 Billion is Tiny in an Alternate Universe: Introduction to p-adic Numbers
- The Mathematical Problem with Music, and How to Solve It
- A Curious Track, or What Bikes Are Hiding From Us
- An Inverse Turing Test
- What A General Diagonal Argument Looks Like (Category Theory)

- The Amazing Math behind Colors!
- An Interactive Guide for Bézier Curves
- Does Every Game Have a Winner
- A Finite Game of Infinite Rounds
- Numberphile's Square-Sum Problem was solved!
Even these don't cover all the ones worth recommending, so I highly encourage you to take a look through the rest of the entries, there are some real gems in there.
