One of the best video i've ever see. Thank you for sharing! Best wishes to you and Prof. Tao, a true genius and an human being to look up to on my behalf
The way Professor Tao refers to people as 'the very smart people' feels so humble, and I can’t quite explain it concisely, but this video is something special. It weaves together personal experiences, tough moments, and insights that can only come from deep, long-term engagement with math-like understanding what makes it truly fascinating. I was deeply impressed, and honestly, this is the kind of video I’ll come back to over and over, especially when I’m struggling with academics or anything else. I don’t know if this video is official, but it’s incredibly insightful, and I’m truly grateful to Professor Tao for sharing such invaluable wisdom.
I understand the polling accuracy not being determined by the population size but nonetheless have to give it some quite difficult abstract thought , knowing seawater of a large ocean is salty from just tasting a tiny drop is such a beautiful and simple analogy I actually gave the mental equivalent of a gasp.This is lovely insights into thinking, for a trained mathmetician and beginner alike .
Regarding the puzzle 46:00 of the counterfeit coin in the 12 coins stack: “ the puzzle is solvable in 3 scaling steps if you consider an initial hypothesis ( that is the counterfeit coin have less weight than a real coin or vise versa) Otherwise if you don’t consider such initial hypothesis (condition) then puzzle have only 4 scaling steps as optimal solution” Quite a cool puzzle for the kids and indeed the math that comes out of it is quite interesting 🤨 … thanks dude
I like him describing anthropomorphising mathematical objects.I remember reading the classic Spivaks Calculus (highly recommended) and was struck by how he described some functions as pathological.
@ademarbenitezaranjo8299 Yeah I love it I have not finished it yet and am just an enthusiastic amateur, working on a few books simultaneously.His chapter on limits helped me completely understand them (apologies Professor Wildberger).I must read more which I have come to realise is a good thing in many respects.There are a lot of stones on the beach, they seem connected and to have come from the same place and with a lot of effort (for me at least) I can lift them and see what's underneath. Kind regards.
I’m no mathematician but I do believe that your chances of getting your shoelace caught in the moving sidewalk are greater once you get on the moving sidewalk…thus though not quicker, it does appear to be much safer to tie your shoe first.
Around 24:50, Tao discusses Kepler studying wine barrels and mentions that "the dependence of volume on the shape of the barrel was at a local maximum." He explains that if you made the barrel 5% wider or narrower, the relationship between stick measurement and volume stayed roughly the same. But isn't this true for most shapes - that small changes result in small changes? What specifically was at a "local maximum" here, and what made this relationship mathematically special compared to other shapes and measurements? Would love if someone knowledgeable about Kepler's barrel work could explain the mathematical details behind this!
The reason that the local maximum matters is that in continuous functions the derivative is close to zero near a local maximum. A local maximum, minimum, or inflection point is the point where changes to the shape will cause the smallest possible changes in volume
Yeah... Very smart guy... My dad once said, when I was in elementary or high school, that when I would later go to university, there are different type of books. One group are about blurring the lesson... The other are very clear... Terence Tao's book is the latter... It is very clear... 👌
Actually, yeah... Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walter Sixth Edition (Extended Version) Page 7 If we would approximate the circumference as a circle, then the formula of a circumference is: C = 2πr, where r is the radius 👌
The way they teach, especially math in schools, is a catastrophe. Yes, a real catastrophe that supports the degeneration of the human inventive spirit like nothing else before. From the 1st to 9th grade, mathematics in my experience was nothing but a stroke leading to a later decay of inventive thinking. In schools, arithmetic is a torture method and not an introduction to the concept of mathematical thinking. How artmetic procedures are taught within mathematical systems can never lead to a witty emancipation of the game. +-×÷ the basic building blocks of any mathematical theory are taught manually without any depth. It is not possible for children to grasp The game of mathematics, because according to the learning methods of school there is none. It was only when I switched to business school that mathematics seemed meaningful and free to me. Functions that represent a growth, sets that become a different language, all these discoveries were found in me only by mathematical correlations and not by acidic shifting of rules. It is shameful and sad to think of logical thinking as something boring, because it is not at all. When I immersed myself in the world of sets, functions, series and sequences, I realized for myself how free mathematics really is. Artfully, I was thrilled to see how series can form a function, which in turn can be plotted as graphs, and there are endless possibilities to see mathematically how a flower is fathomable. It is like a child dipping his hands in color to draw a purely creative picture of his intuition. That's a big and important part of math thinking. Mathematics is free, creative, interesting, inspiring and an experience. an experience that shows and brings closer the beauty of the relationship between us and the outside world. A teacher who does not know this and who acts in the manner prescribed by the system is nothing more than a loaded weapon for young children in the education system. He has the potential creative ability to wipe out their development like a gun that can do nothing but destroy what doesn't fit into the system. Mathematics, thinking about itself, is a necessary game, indeed a necessary game for a fruitful personality who is in a relationship with the outside world, which makes the depths of the world palpable only if it is allowed to be played. To play means to discover oneself and other things, to be creative and free, without any barriers, always from right to wrong. Thus the principle is rock-solid, without play no personality What we can see in front of our eyes is a society full of prejudices, burying ideas before they can even be heard. Without this reason, the human race is doomed for eternity, since it can never unfold, indeed never really know what it means to discover and to live. It's all a big circle that closes. It's all interconnected, and if we don't see it, we're going to have to bathe in our ashes forever. I hereby appeal to all teachers and education officers to make the game possible. We need this revolution. It is absolutely necessary for the creative mind, for the creative man who sees connections and draws meaning from what was previously unrecognizable. Someone who imposes rigeros manuale is the enemy of every poetry, every art and every mystery, no matter how small, that will remain hidden in one forever. The way is long and arduous, the one who leads out of Hell into the light. However, without this insight we are doomed to be good and further advances will never be able to be updated. I know many acquaintances within my family who, as a small child, ask questions about asking why the tree grows, what is 13+5 and what even so large unattainable number becomes unattainable because you can always count +1 to it. Its mathematical nature is deeply rooted in the free creative thinking of man. Mathematics is not boring, but if it is taught like this, it will be forever. No play, no personality.
This video makes mathematics very applicable to ordinary people than those equations that people are subjected to just to prove someone s mathematics genius.
This is great because I don’t ever remember learning these perspectives together like this. Every few years I get the urge to brush up on my math, so I’ll have to save this. Looking back, at least part of my distaste for math was cultural, few of my peers liked it, but the other part was relevance. I knew I wanted to play music, and math seemed irrelevant. Maybe it is, but I’ve since explored audio engineering and it’s highly relevant there, depending on how concrete you want your understanding to be, and I feel that I can’t go much further without understanding those funky symbols that arrive once you pass high school algebra.

Maybe you watch the same kinds of videos on each email. Or maybe since this was viral at the time, it was recommended on both. You have to think of more reasonable explanations before moving to spying. And even if they were spying on you, what reason do they have, and why would they recommend the swme video twice?
I'm gonna guess it's because the accounts share the same IP address when logging in... unless you're using a VPN, if that's the case then I'd start checking under my bed every night... TH-cam might be under there
The _greatest_ living mathematician is a tie between Grigori Perelman and Andrew Wiles because they actually solved 2 of the biggest problems in mathematics which Tao did not. Although Tao is very good mathematician he is not definitely in any stretch the greatest living one.
Definitely incorrect It's very complicated to measure the contributions nottomention such complex title like "The greatest mathematician" It's further than one could imagine
I wouldn't call him a fraud but like most mainstream mathematicians he's entangled in technique and most these proofs are trivial. It would be great to ask him...What is a number? Do all magnitudes have a number? What do you think of applying the secant method to finding the derivative of a function? Do you find the current definition of a derivative circular?
All this is nice but your DNA dictates your innate intelligence, if it's not high enough you can forget understanding advanced math and coding no matter the effort
@Ma-official_ No. You can spend decades trying to understand something that another person understands the moment they read it, it's a brain structure issue. Specifically it's the difference in myelin sheath thickness, neuron density, synapse response efficiency, dendrite spread, axonal connection efficiency, etc. Your DNA dictates all of that
@@solivagant1170 yes, and those environmental factors matter most during childhood. Problem is you can't choose your childhood parenting either, so if your parents are trash there goes your neural plasticity window to form vital axonal connections of understanding complex concepts in math, physics, programming etc. Starting out say after the age of 20 is way to late. So it's all luck based again of whether you'll get good parents in terms of genetics and parenting, usually those go hand in hand. Parents with goid genes are smart so they raise their offspring properly, while parents with bad genes (ie. dumb) give their child bad genes along with bad parenting
Yeah... Very smart guy... My dad once said, when I was in elementary or high school, that when I would later go to university, there are different type of books. One group are about blurring the lesson... The other are very clear... Terence Tao's book is the latter... It is very clear... 👌

Thank you!
Not only is Terrence Tao one of the greats in Mathematics, he is an extraordinary humble man and fantastic communicator of Mathematics.
One of the best video i've ever see. Thank you for sharing! Best wishes to you and Prof. Tao, a true genius and an human being to look up to on my behalf
This is inspirational with respect to the crisp clarity with which he speaks about the "essence" of mathematics
"We are not wizards or aliens. We are just regular people solving problems"
He is far from a regular person but I appreciate his modesty haha. He is a brilliant mind and very humble.
all scientists have the ability of save information from the first time and Analytical mind
not all the people heve this gifts
Yes! People think they are just stupid and others are smart but the only reason they are 'stupid' is because they think that.
Great mathematician a live he reads 60hours a week he inspired me
So what, how much he reads in one day?

All this is nice but your DNA dictates your innate intelligence, if it's not high enough you can forget understanding advanced math and coding no matter the effort
It’s more like motivation, if you are motivated you can learn anything.
@Ma-official_ No. You can spend decades trying to understand something that another person understands the moment they read it, it's a brain structure issue. Specifically it's the difference in myelin sheath thickness, neuron density, synapse response efficiency, dendrite spread, axonal connection efficiency, etc. Your DNA dictates all of that
@@Ljosi nah
That’s not entirely true, epigenetics are influenced by environmental factors too.
@@solivagant1170 yes, and those environmental factors matter most during childhood. Problem is you can't choose your childhood parenting either, so if your parents are trash there goes your neural plasticity window to form vital axonal connections of understanding complex concepts in math, physics, programming etc. Starting out say after the age of 20 is way to late. So it's all luck based again of whether you'll get good parents in terms of genetics and parenting, usually those go hand in hand. Parents with goid genes are smart so they raise their offspring properly, while parents with bad genes (ie. dumb) give their child bad genes along with bad parenting
Yeah... Very smart guy...
My dad once said, when I was in elementary or high school, that when I would later go to university, there are different type of books.
One group are about blurring the lesson... The other are very clear...
Terence Tao's book is the latter...
It is very clear... 👌
