Notes for CMU-1504/0:33:11
ah! I didn't know Boas Katz was your student! I saw that video too and tried to make an R script of Arnol'd's proof: http://isomorphism.es/post/113720283271/commutator
I'm thinking of redoing it as HTML + Javascript, where users can click-and-drag either the coefficients or the roots...
Either way, I think middle-school & high-school students would like to see this, or play with your Mathematica file in general (if their school has mathematica ---- an upside of R is that it's a) free and b) runnable online without an install (http://www.r-fiddle.org/#/fiddle?id=Ggh3OHmt&version=1)).

-- Anybody's free to play with my code, it is available from the parent page of this video (Talks/CMU-1504) as "Commutators-Slides.nb", with more under the "pensieve" link. Though I wrote the code for me to use, and it is very finicky. An improved stable version in a free and browser-executable platform would be terrific! --Drorbn (talk) 06:46, 21 October 2015 (EDT)
