the "I cannot completely explain the details"@13:52 broke my heart... This video needs a second part! It got me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Numberphile Lives!
Lucas Nakach You can tell also when a American guy is speaking French. Then best is when one southern guy is trying to speak French to a Canadian from Quebec with a heavy joual accent.
***** I am french and I bearky understand what he says. A funny thing is that in France, when people don't know how the pronounciation of a word or when they are not sure of it; they don't even try to because they don't want to be ridiculous but it is even worse !
Take Walker I'm sorry to say, it was painful for me to watch this video, even though the content had the usual amazingness. It's just that I can't take him sereously with his accent. I just notice every influence from French, because I'm french too.
7000000th If you are stopped by a so trivial detail, never do studies. He is perfectly understandable, speaks slowly, and explains clearly. Besides he has a very nice pedigree in mathematics, probably far better you'll never have. Go in UK in some university I won't name and try to understand a mumbling Scottish guy writing undecipherable signs on the chalkboard about Navier Stokes equations. That's true pain, specially when you know that the exam is within 2 months.
Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon if you're trying to vent your frurtration, go do it to someone else, because I not responsible for it. I was just trying to remark upon his accent, and how French it was, and as I said, I understood every word of it and enjoyed the content. Even, I felt a bit of pride that a fellow Frenchman should be on this channel, no matter what his accent is
hr If we added a bottle of red wine and bread on the table, plus him complaining about the government and going on strike, yep, we should get something representative of French people. From France with love ;)
The "Farey addition" (mediant) is very interesting. I once did a work about the Stern-Brocot tree (sometimes called Farey tree) and its applications to number theory. It has many interesting properties: it generates all rational numbers exaclty once (and you can estimate the maximum height it should appear), many simmetries and pn - mq = 1 relations useful for factoring numbers. Very interesting video to me, I've never seen the geometry on this. Geometry has this weird habit of making algebra look nicer.
Even the greatest comedians and humorists can't be more French than this guy even if they try their hardest, all he needs to do is write "2" and it's all over.
+Jasper Kole +Jacobo Pinadado well, as a german who also speaks French let me tell you: obviously French Dialect ;) if you still dont believe me just google his name.
There's 16691 of them. Partitioning them into triplets yields 16689, all of which are Farey sequences. In Mathematica a simple-minded way to do it is: Select[Partition[ Union[Sort[ Select[Flatten[Table[p/q, {p, 0, 234}, {q, 1, 234}]], #
I have watched this video like 40 times. the way he writes down the numbers is so different from everybody else. 2 and 9 are the most unique out of any of them
I can't stop listening to this repeatedly :) 5:41 "bages and bages and bages and bages..." Love his accent and his looks. He's just like a cartoon character comes to life!! Seems like a super nice guy to hang out with too!
This video would have been worth watching to learn about the circle-plus sign trick alone. The fact that the entire thing is full of interesting stuff puts it over the moon.
My new favourite Numberfile video. Blown away. Classic Numberfile. I was so excited watching that. It's like magic. There must be something fundamental about patterns like that. What field of mathematics is that? Pure maths? Gonna do an OU course I think. Never too late.
This guy is super energetic about math. I'm glad he seems to genuinely enjoy it that much. I can't get that hype for math, but I can appreciate someone who does.
Matthew Kelley Yep. In french, we say "mon petit doigt me dit". It's a bit old-fashioned though, but this guy nails it with his overall attitude and appearance, he's amazing.
I think it is crucial that we have this amazing person explaining this, because otherwise it would probably be pretty boring, as well as being just silly. It needs a funny personality to talk about a funny fraction. P.S. I am absolutely in love with his handwriting
TheHomeless87 man I just posted that exact same message a minute ago.now I scroll down, see your comment and realise I was not the only one who thought so!
That was beautiful! It is so fantastic that there are all those weird connections in mathematics in fields that do not appear to have anything in common. It is even better if those can be displayed by some geometry - then it is just pleasure to watch.
5:09 what do you mean there's nothing special about 234?! that's the highest score ever achieved by two batsmen (don bradman, sid barnes) in the same test match and same innings! their partnership of 405 runs is still the test record for the 5th wicket, set way back in 1946. nothing special indeed.
Icaro Vasconcelos most of programming languages have graphical library. on top of that there is a lot of educational and academic SW. just google it if you are interested. when I was at school we used to do clickable fractal expansion of various sorts. this should be the same. it was a few lines of code, nothing special.

I had no idea it was possible to write numbers with an accent.
This man is my hero.
First time watching this video, and yes, how he writes his 2's has made my life!!
Such a French way of writing numbers.

What I love the most about Numberphile is how enthusiastic all the mathematicians you bring up for show are!
When I saw this gentleman on the thumbnail, I knew right away this is going to be an awesome video.
To me he looked like an american dad

Right?! Moustaches and accents are awesome but there's really nothing better than the peculiarities of this particular reality.

Somehow I don't think he was born in California...
just sayin'.
he is french, he talks with a french accent and he was born in france... He's probably californian
A quick google search shows that he was born on the 9th of September, 1955, in Tarbes, France

What a positive and happy professor. It helps get over the accent. His personality is very clear ie, he's clear.
This guy is by far my favorite Numberphile guest solely based on voice.
Cool maths!
His moustache is magnificent.
Also, Putin ancestor at 9:26? :p
I was exactly thinking the same thing xD
Especially the one in the background! :D
Right??
Even the greatest comedians and humorists can't be more French than this guy even if they try their hardest, all he needs to do is write "2" and it's all over.
Wow... at the very beginning I was like "meh, just playing around with fractions", but by the end *mind = blown!!* :O
This is all french stereotypes in just one person.

I just love listening to him say the word "Prime"

This is one of my favourite Numberphile videos. He has such a joy in his subject and in explaining it, coupled with a great sense of humour.
One of the best guest appearances in numberphile history. What a legend.

pipi prout
false.
honestly this guys smile makes me so happy, like he looks genuinely happy throughout all of this.
This was amazing. I would have nothing thought about this but seeing it happen was mind blowing for some reason. Great video! (As always)
Guys, please, I didn’t get the statement, Every triple of what is a farey sum? I’m serious
when you got to 13:14. My eyes got wide. That's awesome!
Really liked this guy, you should have him on more.
One of the more interesting videos in a while for me. Hoping we get more videos with Francis.
Am I the only one that thinks his (obviously French) accent sounds like it has some German influence?
Maybe he lives in Strasbourg!
He is Californian
Now I cant unhear it
Mar'kusi Rosenburg same
My first thought was that he looked German and my second thought was that he sounded French. I think the way he looks probably influenced you.
He's so deliberate and clear in what is clearly not his mother tongue.
I would love to know the deeper explanation for this.
Awesome! This might be my favorite Numberphile video to date! I've been drawing those kinds of circle patterns for years. Many thanks Brady! : )
"I thought that we could talk about ghfrakkktions"
This guy is super energetic about math. I'm glad he seems to genuinely enjoy it that much. I can't get that hype for math, but I can appreciate someone who does.

He looks like Vicente Fox. Doesn't sound like him, though.

Best video ever on Numberphile. Amazed by all the conclusions that were made. Just brilliant!
Is he using "my pinky told me" as the idiomatic equivalent of "a little bird told me?"
Matthew Kelley Yep. In french, we say "mon petit doigt me dit". It's a bit old-fashioned though, but this guy nails it with his overall attitude and appearance, he's amazing.
Might be old fashioned in some places (I guess you're in Europe) but it's still very popular in Quebec
I think it is crucial that we have this amazing person explaining this, because otherwise it would probably be pretty boring, as well as being just silly. It needs a funny personality to talk about a funny fraction.
P.S. I am absolutely in love with his handwriting
This guy is awesome - I hope we'll see Francis more often! :D
This guy has the most amazing accent ever and this is the most amazing thing about fractions I have even seen.
I hope this guy also has a video about the mathematics of yodeling
Well, this is amazing. Such connections in math always makes me think how beautiful our universe is
'I thought that we could talk about frrractions.'
Great way to start a video. c:
What a fascinating video. And what a nice presenter, so enthusiastic. This episode is worthy (as are all numberphile videos) of a big thumbs up.
Cauchy looks like Vladmir Putin
My exact thought
YESS i thought this
TheHomeless87 Was about to say, but I had to search the page for "putin" first :P

More videos with Francis Bonahon, please
His handwriting is absolutely immaculate, especially the way he writes the numeral 2.
That French accent
This guy is so amazingly charming! And I learned a cool new thing!
cool. the circle thing is like the dirichlet function
A serious comment from Ben? What is this?
ey ben
Kieran Kaempen this is maff
***** ello
ben1996123 hi ben the slidy man
The Dirichlet function is 1 when x is rational and zero is irrational which doesn't seem related to Farey addition.
videos like these make life seem so beautiful..........also, love the guy's accent!!
Fractions is very niiice, high-5!
It's just so satisfying when mathematics fit in together SO. WELL.
Ah yes, *myootiplication*
The neatest handwriting of any individual you've ever had on this channel. He's definitely breaking the stereotype of mathematicians with poor script.
This Ford Circle Packing... it's a fractal, isn't it?
it looks like one
The circles being tangent like that is just amazing. Hooray for funny fractions!
Sincèrement, on dirait une parodie de notre accent haha
Wow what a fabulous video, both the host and the math involved! Some of the patterns in nature and mathematics are incredible.
5:09 what do you mean there's nothing special about 234?! that's the highest score ever achieved by two batsmen (don bradman, sid barnes) in the same test match and same innings! their partnership of 405 runs is still the test record for the 5th wicket, set way back in 1946. nothing special indeed.

I really want to know which programs were used to do these graphs and calculations.
Icaro Vasconcelos I think he made them himself... its easiest way, I would use probably Python :)
Icaro Vasconcelos probably something specificaly made for this.
a pretty easy application to make, at that.
Icaro Vasconcelos most of programming languages have graphical library. on top of that there is a lot of educational and academic SW. just google it if you are interested. when I was at school we used to do clickable fractal expansion of various sorts. this should be the same. it was a few lines of code, nothing special.
thank you all
Icaro Vasconcelos Possibly mathematica.
That was amazing and a great example of the wonder of mathematics. I'm fascinated to explore the proof.
This guy's accent is dope as f. Where's he from?
France.
