brady is such a genuinely interested host. it's so refreshing to listen to an interview where the interviewer asks actual interesting questions based off of what the interviewee was saying. he sounds so excited and interested in each and every thing she said and even when she dismissed something as stupid or uninteresting he still was so invested
Holy crap I actually happened to have used the app Dr. Fry mentioned around 32:00 ! I wish there were more podcasts like this on the internet. Thanks for starting this one Brady. I wish there was one for astrophysics and chemistry too, on the respective channels, you know where. Do it Brady!
It's so lovely to learn about the lives and inner worlds of these people! I learned so much about Dr. Fry that I never would have expected! Also I absolutely _must_ read _Free as a Bird._
At the point when women are leaving a field of study solely based the lack of other women in said field surely the issue becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and the problem is self perpetuating vicious cycle.
At 5:35 when Hannah mentions formula 1, I was instantly like "ooh, what's the formula one, some new, unsolved billion dollar math(/theor.chem.) problem?" xP
Loved this sooo much! i'm studying maths at uni and trying to work out what working as a mathematician would be like and whether to do it. This really helped! :)
14:40 or so....Asimov's psychohistory (The Foundation series, scifi). Ah, after a few minutes he gives Asimov the credit. You know, it's not that dumb of an idea, I've been paying attention for a long time now. A+ on real models vs opaque ML baloney...otherwise known as "deep overfitting with variables that may or may or not be the important ones".
I absolutely concur that people should understand how their tools work. I think this applies to relatively mundane things like using software libraries when you're writing an application. You shouldn't just go grab a Python package and blindly use it - you really should understand what that package is DOING - how its algorithm works and so on. For that matter, if your whole career is programming computers, you really should understand how computer HARDWARE works too. That can MATTER - for example, if you don't understand how your processor's cache memory works, you can't necessarily write the highest performance software - there are a million and one ways to shoot yourself in the foot. You shouldn't do heavy floating point calculations without understand the technical details of floating point (see the well known paper by Goldberg, "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating Point"). A "not my problem" attitude toward these things is just poor professionalism. Plus, all this stuff is INTERESTING.
Public intellectual… if I am a pi…. I would be an American pi aha i am not sure if that is an original idea… nor does it help the cause of my intellectual prowess; I blame Hollywood and the American pie movie. Lol shame or is it suitable ? I say yes
I wish you had videoed the interview, Brady. I loved it when Hannah admitted to being a nerd. I loved the story of her writing her first book "Free as a bird" :) Massive nerd LOL but wanted to be a hairdresser. She's very entertaining and has a lovely upbeat personality.
Big thanks to Hannah's mom for pushing her away from her hairdressing dream. We don't know what the hair design community lost in that deal. But we know the Maths community won a wonderful spokeswoman.
12:20 I have a fried whos sister in law was teaching arabic in Helsinki University. Tells a story that the three of them were walking in the city some sunny day and two arabic guys were walking behind them. Suddely the sister in law stopped, turned around and started an arabic tirade. Told that he's never seen so red faces as these two guys who changed on the other side of the street and walked away. They were just complementing the buttocks of the ladies in front of them. I with my college were in Toronto sitting in cafe for a nice day when we heard two eldery ladies talking in swedish about all of their ailments. When they left and I said "Tack och adjö." The ladies changed color on their face and almost run away. I've also commented to a Nokia engineer in a airport lounge that it is not wise to talk trade secrets in finnish over the phone in international flight lounge. There might be someone who undestands.
Hannah Fry, Your book Mathematics of Love, did impacted me more than ever other "pick-up" artist. And thanks to your Backus story I did unexpectedly end up married while before I was stucked with relationship with the other sex. Thank you so much for your help. Math works!
She does herself a disservice when she talks about The Mathematics of Love; I really enjoyed it. I got it as an audio book on the back of her video about choosing toilets, so had her reading it. Perhaps it isn't the Poincare Conjecture or anything heavy going like that, but it got clever, interesting concepts and applied them in a way that someone without a maths degree would understand, as well as being entertaining by it being a little bit silly. I frequently bring up in conversation stuff I learned from it.
I'm American and I don't use ridiculous terms like "thought leader". The only people who do are the sort who think they're important but aren't (managers / executives who don't do the real work).
Very interesting to hear the last bit about what might be the next "thing," given the documentary film and the great stuff she is doing "outreaching" for patients. Good stuff!
Brady always picks the best video footage for his podcasts, I just get lost in them, for this podcast series and the Hello Internet series, I can just sit and listen and watch the repetitive video footage for the whole time and not get bored.
You have a podcast? I think I've discovered Phile's Number: the maximum amount of podcasts I can subscribe to before I explode, and it includes yours of course :)
The podcast also exists in normal places - like podcast players. Please subscribe on there too!
More links in description.
Please get Alain Connes on your podcast.
I liked the visuals of the Ken Ribet podcast a lot more. Content was great!
Is it weird that I find Hannah's voice *very* ASMR-inducing?
No links..not on Spotify either..
TH-cam is normal too!

Hannah Fry is my celebrity crush
I knew i wasn't alone
@@Edkahmed yeah bud
public intellectual crush
same
@@Czeckie No, no. She's my "thought leader" crush.
A pleasure to spend an hour in such great company. Hannah has an amazing voice and a great sense of humor.
Thanks for an enjoyable interview. Motivated me to plow through some dull desk work (taxes, etc.) while I listened. Looking forward to more!
A video with Hannah Fry without Hannah Fry is a very frustrating video :D
This is the type of comment that makes women uncomfortable.
@@Bmcarroll1 beta male?
I think most mathematicians prefer to be valued on the merits of what they say and not their physical details that's all
@Bryan and you would know that, right?
@@yvesnyfelerph.d.8297 it's not that hard if you... listen to women sometimes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the podcast and Hannah Fry.
Holy crap I actually happened to have used the app Dr. Fry mentioned around 32:00 !
I wish there were more podcasts like this on the internet. Thanks for starting this one Brady.
I wish there was one for astrophysics and chemistry too, on the respective channels, you know where.
Do it Brady!
Hannah Fry? Instant Thumps-Up :D
It's so lovely to learn about the lives and inner worlds of these people! I learned so much about Dr. Fry that I never would have expected!
Also I absolutely _must_ read _Free as a Bird._
I'm so mathematically in love with Hanna Fry...
thank you. those podcast are amazing!
this was absolutely wonderful
This was so entertaining, thoroughly enjoyed it :D
Also, F1 broadcasters should have her guest commentate for a bit. It would actually be interesting then.
Hannah could narrate my death as it happens and I wouldn't even be scared... HF
Fantastic.
Hannah Fry public intellectual, thought leader, TV mathematician
can we have a part 2? Regarding the pandemic...
Are you in the UK required to do professorship as part of a PhD program?
I'm sure Hannah got a lot of nice suggestions but I've heard "science communicator" a lot in NZ! Thought leader sounds very 1984 or culty! :(
Navier Stokes equations can describe historical movements seeing as physics of turbulence confirms Marxism.
I love that Hannah used it to her advantage and amusement, but men assumed she was uneducated or stupid because female.
Jesus, had I known Hannah was teaching those topics at UCL, I would have taken her courses in a heartbeat during my BCs and MSc Econ.
46:00
At the point when women are leaving a field of study solely based the lack of other women in said field surely the issue becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and the problem is self perpetuating vicious cycle.
Years later, I am still losing to freckles and accents.
I like xD
No, you are delicious.
WTH? I came here for a video not a podcast!
Math? It is either maths or mathematics. I'm disappointed in you Brady...
Well it's Math in the US, and I am not even American :D
In the US it is Sports and Math and in the UK its Sport and Maths.....do try to keep up despite a trivial thing like a regional difference in speech.
Can we have an Objectivity episode on the book Hannah wrote?
52 minutes of Hannah Fry - my boy Brady thinks it's Christmas Eve already.
Niclas Kristiansen xD
I'm only 5 minutes in, but you both have me smiling already! Brady, you definitely have top-tier interview skills!
William Sims i was thinking the same
Title isn't public intellectual.
Disappointing.
Hannah swearing? Unusual but I like it
Hannah's voice is like ASMR for me
Samee
Same
Same
At 5:35 when Hannah mentions formula 1, I was instantly like "ooh, what's the formula one, some new, unsolved billion dollar math(/theor.chem.) problem?" xP
Loved this sooo much! i'm studying maths at uni and trying to work out what working as a mathematician would be like and whether to do it. This really helped! :)
Super
I could listen to Brady and Hannah talk for days
can we have a podcast where hannah just talks about anything and everything for 5 hours. her voice is amazing i need more of it
Typical British Voice
the last 50 minutes were really great, thanks a lot! 11/10 :D
The graphics are cool, but Hannah Fry is easier on the eye
Creep.
Perv
Why are you booing him? He's right.
So you made sure that Numberphile episodes that Hannah is in are not divisible by 2?
This made me smile so much - love Hannah, love Brady, perfect combo! More Hannah on numberphile please!!!
36:20 _"It's important to look back at what you've done and acknowledge where you can improve"_
Spot on, Hannah!
If all the women keep leaving because there's no women, there will never be any :(
Loving these Podcast episodes! Would love to hear one with Matt :)
And I really like the idea of "writing" your book while walking by dictating it.
Great first Numberphile Podcast...I bought Hannah's new book on Audible, so I could literally hear it in her voice!
14:40 or so....Asimov's psychohistory (The Foundation series, scifi). Ah, after a few minutes he gives Asimov the credit. You know, it's not that dumb of an idea, I've been paying attention for a long time now.
A+ on real models vs opaque ML baloney...otherwise known as "deep overfitting with variables that may or may or not be the important ones".
My irish mom was exactly the same! Always saw education as the way to improve your outlook and your children's!
Great interviewee and excellent interviewer. On a Hannah binge - this was really fun. Great work!
Ok. what I got was that if you keep saying yes to things you'll get jetpacks

Reading the comments on this video was extremely disappointing.
My only problem with this, is that it is way too short! :)

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Inspiring. Brady is a great interviewer and I Hannah Fry is just amazing
Brady nails this interview. It's easy to forget just how talented he is. Wow, 10/10 interview. Bravo.
Absolutely delighted to see Hannah present the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures this year, inspiring the next generation. Great work Hannah!
I wish you had videoed the interview, Brady. I loved it when Hannah admitted to being a nerd. I loved the story of her writing her first book "Free as a bird" :) Massive nerd LOL but wanted to be a hairdresser. She's very entertaining and has a lovely upbeat personality.
The pandemic part of this was prescient.
50 minutes of Dr. Hannah Fry? Brady are you Santa Claus? Thank you so much.
Big thanks to Hannah's mom for pushing her away from her hairdressing dream.
We don't know what the hair design community lost in that deal. But we know the Maths community won a wonderful spokeswoman.
Name a more iconic duo than Hannah and Brady, I’ll wait
Hannah fry and Hannah fry
Or Hannah fry and 3b1b
Listened this to sleep, woke up to her voice muddled in my head, going "delicious.." "glorious.." "juicy.." repeatedly lol
*sigh*
*pulls out meat scepter*
These go by flying. I'm loving them! This one was the best one yet.
The more I hear this lady speak, the more I adore her.
That disarmed laugh at the end for calling her a public intellectual...
AI machine learning networks have predicted that I will listen to all the numberphile podcasts
i already need more of these!! it's so nice to have playing in the background while studying
v loominati I like to listen to podcasts while cleaning, cooking or turning wrenches. Not sure I’d have proper focus when studying though.
and I was hoping for Hannah talking about Navier-Stoke's equations :D...
I never thought rotating line segments would have so much to say!
Aha, Irish mom! QED
She really should release "Free as a bird" as a children's book.
Hannah is awesome even without the vid.

"You're like a professional mathematician, though!"
"Yeah, but not like a good one."
The moment I fell in love with Hannah.
She does herself a disservice when she talks about The Mathematics of Love; I really enjoyed it. I got it as an audio book on the back of her video about choosing toilets, so had her reading it. Perhaps it isn't the Poincare Conjecture or anything heavy going like that, but it got clever, interesting concepts and applied them in a way that someone without a maths degree would understand, as well as being entertaining by it being a little bit silly.

A really delicious episode, thank You.
Hannah fry you have a delicious voice. ♥️

Hannah: I wouldn't have written a book in a million years if someone didn't approach me.
Also Hannah: I wrote a book when I was 11 and it was rubbish
Brady always picks the best video footage for his podcasts, I just get lost in them, for this podcast series and the Hello Internet series, I can just sit and listen and watch the repetitive video footage for the whole time and not get bored.
14:10 - Hari Seldon is a woman, apparently?
EDIT - Only Asimov fans will understand...
EDIT #2 - It's addressed a bit later in the podcast.
Left Formula 1 because there wasn't enough math. Hannah is great.
Good interview. Looking forward to more of this podcast.
I too was amazed how boring designing aircraft was, decided to go into building them instead, the physical side was surprisingly satisfying.
Keith needs to get his hand on "Free as a Bird"
For a guy who usually doesn't talk in his videos, Brady is a natural at conversational interview podcasts. Really enjoyed this.
One hour of Hannah?! Sign me up!
Great podcast. Keep it up, Brady! (Listened to this on the numberphile webpage on mobile, but came here to comment.)
I love this, and if it's somehow possible to get some of the Sixty Symbols or Computerphile on here would be awesome!
So basically Hannah is doing psychohistory ?
Edit: commented too early; Brady you are doing it right!
[Everyone liked that]

Anyone got info about her first pub lecture about social media etc.... ? Sounds interesting.....
Any Americans on here who are fans of countdown? Anyone watch 8ootcdc? Wilty?
