Introduction to the Catalan numbers

Precalculus 1 Minute

From the YouTube description:

Alissa S. Crans, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Loyola Marymount University, introduces viewers to the Catalan numbers, which take on a variety of different guises as they provide the solution to numerous problems throughout mathematics.

More on the Catalan numbers can be found at MathWorld and at Wikipedia and at http://www-math.mit.edu/~rstan/ec/. This video is accessible to the general public, including gifted elementary school students.
