    Dr. Eugenia Cheng is such an impressive communicator of what is a difficult subject that she actually makes it intuitive. Complexity is difficult to understand, such as biology that can be difficult to explain. When we consider biological systems the function of a cell is often regarded as the starting point to understand complexity of biology, as opposed to the relations of the cell to other biological components that make up the whole organism. For example, most of us are wired to consider the function of the immune system as a discrete binary activity that identifies what is ok and what is a pathogen and therefore "bad" - but what if as philosopher Thomas Pradue suggests, we consider the relations that the immune system has with other things like the microbiome, and its role in immunology - are the relations more important or the functions? The ability to abstract the relations to unravel the complexity associated with immunology and other complex systems is unbounded. Abstraction as philosopher William James promoted is an approach to progress science as long as we are aware that we are abstracting. Very thought provoking presentation - thankyou Eugenia.

    Erik Meijer's talk on using computer programming as an abstraction layer for mathematics was enlightening, showing how it can turn abstract mathematical concepts into interactive lessons for children. This method not only cultivates a deeper understanding of mathematics but also sparks interest and motivation in learning the subject.

    I love hearing someone competent coherently express ideas that have been stewing less coherently in my own mind for years. I disliked math until someone taught me elementary algebra somewhat as the speaker suggests, and when I learned more about the general idea of a function, lots of other things started making sense. I learned a bit about what a number is from Strang's lecture proving that e is a number. Linear algebra helped with all kinds of things, including the concepts of distance, metrics, norms, the triangle rule, and inductive proofs. When I started realizing that students learn better when you start introducing some of these concepts at an earlier stage in their education, I began teaching my 9th grade class in ancient history about the nature of abstraction, using the examples they were learning in their class in geometry, as well as things like logic gates, art, and scientific simulations. I am sure some of it was not absorbed by all of them, but they all got some of it, and some got a lot. I wish my teachers had known what the speaker knows and taught the way she teaches. Brava!

    Sometimes I believe learning has more to do with a personal connection with the teacher. I have failed a few courses in my time. The material just didn't make sense to me when I was learning it. Somehow I would do much better in the same course after retrying it with a new teacher. Teachers come with their own problems and personalities, too. Perhaps I was simply a bad student. I won't rule out that possibility.

    Yes. I've been saying for years, as an educator but not as a mathematician, that we teach mathematics not because it applies to daily life, but because it doesn't. The ability to step out of concrete reality into abstract reasoning is a uniquely human skill. While someone might not use the formulae they learned in secondary school, they can use the skill of thinking logically, constructing proofs, rejecting false answers and so on.
    Thanks for this much more sophisticated take from an actual mathematician's perspective.

      I find most people don't understand the advantages of viewing real processes through an abstract lens.
      They think it's too vague and detached from the real processes - but they don't realise that because they're so focused on the details they can't see the forest for the trees, while the abstract approach provides a bird's eye view from which you can delve into the details while maintaining a clear concept of the whole system.
      In programming particularly, from the abstract view it becomes clear that it's all just functions transforming information - objects and arrows between objects

    It is never trig or calc that is the problem. A teacher digressed into baseball stats, causing loss of interest immediately,
    as i was interested in the physical dynamics of surfing, ballet, and actual kinetic sports, which require a lot of appraisal - thinking about energies and vectors.
    Complex dynamical systems occur in every observable association, and some mathematical understanding of this is essential.
    Should you pursue Eugenia's processes you WILL find that you learn physical, social, and other skills more quickly.
    And, recognizing her name just now, i realize she authored a book - "The Art of Logic in an Illogical World" , which sounds like an important read; I found it lying on my bed, neglected in the arousals of war and dispute!

      Yes you can. The point of category theory is you can replace any example with another with equivalent structure. The subject matter is irrelevant. But it is clever teaching to nudge people into coming up with alternatives when they don’t like the example. I’m sure she does that with her students.

    I just bought her book and started reading it as part of my research I am doing to develop a graphical Universal Modeling Language that I am calling UniML.
    As I read through her book it is becoming clear to me that what I am attempting to do with UniML is not all that different from Category theory, only is approaching it from the direction of developing a graphics notation that can be used by things like category theory to describe itself.
    BTW, I have made a number of videos on UniML and uploaded them to my TH-cam channel that describes it in more detail, albeit that this is still a work in progress and not a finished product in that the design is still in a state of flux.
    But I am finding her book really helpful in providing many good Use cases to examine as well as providing concepts that are helpful in refining its design. And that is one of the reason I bought it to begin with, thinking that might turn out to be the case, which I am glad to see, that it indeed is!

      I think the point of the example is to show that polarizing topics can be abstracted to make clearer its nuances which can provide middle grounds for engaging in productive conversations. And besides, the diagram is just that: a diagram. Its accuracy depends on the context in which we are measuring privilege.
      Also what does this have to do with communism? This seems a lot like her example of seat belts and fascism where it looks like y'all are both thinking in different levels of abstraction.

    This was very interesting, but unfortunately it was extremely long-winded. It was literally, 'yap yap' 4 times, and 'relevant info' 1 time. skip the first 25 minutes..

    I found her very interesting and thought-provoking, except when she got into that goofy neo-marxism.

      wasn't she all the time? I watched two random pieces to see if I want to watch the whole thing, and she got to that bs in both...

    Genuinely a shame you can't have a lecture without racist or sexist devisive undertones now other than that really informative, really good 👍

      Sure it is (sarcasm), and asians do better than others (stats). So how uninclusive of the RI to invite an asian to speak about math... Should they be cancelled?

    Maths is one of the subjects I studied at the uni, but sorry her uptight speech is too annoying to listen to.
