Fixed Point Iteration - Loki SLAPPED 16 times for SCIENCE!

A 9-minute video by ThatMathThing about calculus, on the Mathematics shelf. It came up in r/math, in a thread called “What are some of your favorite math explainer videos that aren’t from mathologer, numberphile, or 3b1b?”.

Here we talk about fixed point iteration, Loki, and time loops, and we prove the Banach Fixed Point Theorem. Fixed point iteration is a tool in numerical analysis for discovering solutions to differential equations, uncovering fractal patterns, proving the convergence of Newton's method. And it's used by the Time Variance Authority to punish Loki.
