Factorials, prime numbers, and the Riemann Hypothesis

Today we introduce some of the ideas of analytic number theory, and employ them to help us understand the size of n!. We use that understanding to discover a surprisingly accurate picture of the distribution of the prime numbers, and explore how this fits into the broader context of one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics, the Riemann Hypothesis.

It is this channel's inaugural video! Welcome everyone, we hope you enjoy what you see here, and let us know how we did in the comments!
