At 9:15, {The point at infinity added to a point P} is not obtained by taking the tangent at P; that's what you do to get P+P. For {The point at infinity added to a point P} one should take a vertical line.
I'm supposed to be studying for a functional analysis final but this stuff is too good. Stop distracting me! Hello from a physics major who needs to be better at complex analysis and the theory of modular forms.
Thanks. The dramatic lighting is easy to explain: it's a huge lecture hall, it's probably about 3am, and only the overhead blackboard light was used, not any of the room lights. I can't think properly during the daytime.
@@litsky That's exactly what I imagined it was, some secret dark hall in the middle of the night that you snuck into to secretly explain elliptic curves. Good!
@@litsky You should make the sneaking in a part of the video, like when Siskel and Ebert used to sneak into the balcony to do their reviews. :) th-cam.com/video/nz9pexKc5aE/w-d-xo.html
Great Lecture. Although it's compressed and I didn't understand everything , I find it interesting. It motivates me to learn more about elliptic curves and modular forms. thanx for posting!
You went straight to the point no unnecessary complications you re just good at explaining stuff keep making videos and please can you make one where you explain parallel transport and connexions in differential geometry it would be really nice thanks
I found this in my watch history and was pleasantly surprised that it is still relevant. Unfortunately, it appears that some of your other math lectures are no longer available, and I would like a chance to review them now.
I sort of liked your presentation mlbaker and it agrees to most of topics in my original book by Whittaker and watson( mathematic analysis from 1920 on). The upside of this is everything you present is spot on. So, its 2020 now and your lecture is still pretty good) l.o.g.t.
Great Video. Self studying the subject this was more comprehensive that some other sources. Other topics like the j-invariant, modular discriminant, and their use in higher order Fermat curves; concepts of the general theory would be nice to see in the future! =)

ovenlovesyou Yes, of course you're right. Not sure what I was thinking.

I am honoured to be chosen as your distraction.
Basic complex analysis is an oxymoron.
Very accurate, straight to the point! I encourage you my friend.
Could you turn on youtube autogenerated captions for this? Even if it gets most of the math words wrong, it would help me follow the audio
I love the aesthetic of these videos--the weird dramatic lighting and using an actual blackboard, it's really great.

maybe you could do one on mock modularity
wonderful!!!!
could you explain please the factor of 4 ? the normalisation factor , how do you obtain it?
Super lecture - I like your presentation style!
This is incredible. Thank you.
This is helping me to understand complex analysis! Thanks
Thank you for the video, i found it very helpful for my thesis on elliptic curves
Okay, you're only 35 seconds in, and so far only two words you've said have been from basic real analysis. :)
That was a great lecture, thanks!
Hi there, where are you studying in canada? By any chance are you in UBC?

very good presentation and it is very clear. congrats
handsome lecturer surely helps :)
Wow this is a good presentation.
Wut.... ziltoid brought me here
Nice presentation.
very good .Write everything explicitly
Good! Make more c:
Good one!
