For some great math-based doodling videos, check Vi Harts blog: http://vihart.com/

I particularly like "Snake and Graphs": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heKK95DAKms

If you aren't familiar with Vi Hart, let me suggest some of the more awesome videos that seriously tickled my geeky innards.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK5Z709J2eo (infinite series through doodling)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heKK95DAKms (graph theory awesomeness, through doodling)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4MSN6IImpI (some lovely properties of binary trees ... through doodling)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx5D09s5X6U (snakes)

Especially that last one, it poses a question as to whether you can use a grammar to show that a snake lives (doesn't bite itself). Unfortunately she doesn't provide a solution to the problem, but me and a few mates went ahead and proved that it is impossible to prove whether the problem is solvable without simulating the snake.

There's lots more interesting stuff on her web site, too: http://vihart.com/

Clearly popular, Vi has many more of these:

We can tell she's popular because of the number of times these links have been submitted:

I know Vi. She's brilliant. Her musical offerings are also wonderful:
