Who am I? 👀 Hii, I am Sagar Rathore, first year student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Berhampur. I make these videos because I love to explain things in a simple and effective way. I like to make illustraitons that can help demonstrate the complexities of a lot of topics in physics and mathematics and basically any subject that interests me. I also love to interact with people and learn from their experiences, hence the pocast interview series. If these videos add value and information to your life, it would mean a great deal to me if you like and share.
