Here is the animation engine used in the videos (written in Python):

Wow thanks for posting this link. I was wondering does anyone know more channels (or any other resource) just like this one, for Statistics and Calculus?

I always thought he used processing. The fact that he built all the animations with his own library makes his videos way more impressive now.

He jokes about it in the series. That he used linear algebra for it too.

I'd also heartily recommend Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra video lectures (OCW MIT). They seem to have the same goal--to develop a very strong geometric intuition.

Wow, thank you so much for posting this link. I was looking for something like this before jumping into theoretical machine learning.

This is probably the best Math Channel on Youtube. I highly recommend watching his Topology videos. Numberphile, Mathloger and Vsauce are other great youtube Channels which I subscribe to.

These explainations are fantastic! Does anyone know of a literature class that examines different technical explainations and analyses why they are successful and where they fail?

These are fun too, not directly calculus but some infinities and series videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOGeU-1Fig3rrDjhm9Zs_wg
