Hi, All:

FWIW, my quick search indicates that "tecmath 
<https://youtubedownload.minitool.com/youtube/math-youtube-channel.html>" 
has been contributing to YouTube for ten years, perhaps longer.

"Techmath 
<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Techmath&t=newext&atb=v378-5&ia=web>" is a 
common term, but not a URL.

Cheers from
