Several have pointed out that it is one of Alan Becker's animators who is responsible for this video.  The description gives writing and animating credit to someone by the name of Terkoiz.

So, thank you Terkoiz for a great video!

I don't really understand math, but I do like watching the reactions of people who are passionate about it

20:39 It's hard to catch, but for a split second you can see Euler's identity subtracts 2pi from its argument to rotate 360 degrees and perform an uppercut

@LambBleeding

As far as I know you’re the only reaction video who’s actually explained what was going on with the whole integral to infinity part, and as someone who’s only learned integrals a while ago actually helped me to understand what was going on there.

This video deserves a lot more views just for that honestly. Love watching mathematicians watch this video and learning something new every time.

@WafiExe

You know is serious when even a Math Professor is surprised by a series.

@goudacheese7491

the way you explained A^0 =1 actually made way more sense then anything ive ever heard, thank you, it makes alot more sense

@HappyDogForever1

Alan Becker asked University people if the equations in his animations are right if it’s not, he asked them to show what he does to make it right that’s how he got all these equations to be correct and right

@7evene1ev3n8

6:31 Alan said in a reaction video that in his animation team there was this math nerd who really wanted to excute this idea and basically came up with most of the ways things were interpreted in the video

@Gauss_Hawk

My understanding is that there's kind of a team behind the Alan Becker name, at least one or some of which happen to be mathematically inclined. They shot the idea, worked out the specifics and then the animation was born.

Edit: That Freshman's Dream bit is really neat, I can't believe I never did that (or don't remember doing that) on any of my exams. Seems like a trap that's easy to fall into.

@toddoverholt4556

Having the 'antagonist' be e^ipi is pretty genius, its something so simple its easy to "discover" by accident, but also something completely alien and inexplicable, but also it ultimately is just a simple equation that naturally follows from the rules of math

@Fatal_Error404-lo4bc

21:58 This is actually even more intricate than described, because the explosions from the different values are actually the numbers it would be equal to.

@Mr.Dotson

I've seen many reactions to this video, and this one is the best. You know all the math in the video and catch almost all the subtle references most reactors miss.

@screamingblackhole

16:01 Another interesting detail here that I'm not sure you picked up on.
For this part you need to literally watch frame-by-frame to pick up all the details lol

Euler's identity takes out a negative sign to fight with, so the stick figure takes out a positive sign to counter it. He holds the positive sign like a cross, as though he's fighting a devil of some kind
Euler's identity turns the negative sign into a -1 and swings it. The stick figure didn't expect this, and in response, turns his positive sign into a positive 1.
When their weapons clash, it creates zeroes, because -1 + 1 = 0
Euler's identity decreases the value of their weapon to -4. When their weapons collide again, Euler's weapon turns into -3 and the stick figure's 1 disappears, forcing him to take out another. The same thing happens each time Euler swings at him - the negative number increases and the stick figure needs to repeatedly extend another positive 1 to block.
The stick figure then takes out a second +1 and swings with both at the same time. He then combines his two +1s into a +2, takes out another + sign, combines the + signs into a multiplication sign, duplicating the +2 symmetrically to make it look like a bow, then pulls an equal sign out from the bow like it's a bowstring, and fires a 4, because 2 x 2 = 4.

@dylanbouffard5437

You can really tell that this guy is a teacher.
It's undeniable because of one main reason.

@williejohnson5172

26:50 Everybody misses the fact that the tangent gun is actually a derivative gun. e^ipi is the constant -1.  The derivative of a constant is zero so he turns each individual e^ipi into zero by taking its derivative.

@lightning_11

I love finding people who understand the relevant math to appreciate all the amazing details in this animation.

@peachykeen53

I’m loving the enthusiastic response to each new reference, because it really shows how much thought went into the source material! Excellent analysis, thank you.

@Sadcatblake

I love how some moments have ominous music, like dividing by zero and it just keeps going, as a example
