Elegant video explanation of complex mathematical transformations

This might be making the rounds in the geek-o-sphere, I’m not paying much attention right now.

This is a fantastic use of a format such as YouTube for explaining a scientific topic.  This video very elegantly explains complex mathematic transformations in just a couple of minutes.

I’m not a mathematician so I can’t comment on how accurate this representation is … just that it is a well-done visualization. Check it out (if the embedded video is broken below, go here).
