Victoria "Vi" Hart (/ˈvaɪ hɑːrt, ˈviː hɑːrt/;[2] born 1988)[3] is an American mathematician and YouTuber. They describe themself as a "recreational mathemusician" and are well-known for creating mathematical videos on YouTube[4][5][6] and popularizing mathematics.[7][8] Hart founded the virtual reality research group eleVR and has co-authored several research papers on computational geometry and the mathematics of paper folding.[9][10]

Together with another YouTube mathematics popularizer, Matt Parker, Hart won the 2018 Communications Award of the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics for "entertaining, thought-provoking mathematics and music videos on YouTube that explain mathematical concepts through doodles".[11]
