Victoria Hart, commonly known as Vi Hart (Born November 28, 1988), (/ˈvaɪ hɑːrt/ or /ˈviː hɑːrt/)[3] is a self-described "recreational mathemusician" who is most known for creating mathematical videos on YouTube.[4][5][6]

Hart is the child of mathematical sculptor George W. Hart, and was educated at Stony Brook University.[4] As well as producing mathematical videos, Hart has co-authored several research papers on computational geometry and the mathematics of paper folding.[7]

Hart was previously supported by Khan Academy making videos for the educational site as their "Resident Mathemusician". Currently, Hart works in a research group called eleVR creating virtual reality videos, and in the past has also collaborated on educational computer games.[3][8][9][10] One of these projects is Hypernom, a game where the player has to eat part of 4 dimensional polytopes which are Stereographically projected into 3D and viewed using a virtual reality headset.[11]

Hart identifies as gender agnostic.[12] Hart is a Principal Investigator at the Human Advancement Research Community (HARC).[13]

Some of Hart's videos in 2016 covered political topics like the shooting of Christina Grimmie and Black Lives Matter.[14][15]

Hart has been featured in The New York Times,[16] and National Public Radio.[17]
