This hit me at just the right time. Thanks, Mark!
Great, glad it helped!
Thank you for making this video! As someone who's writing a masters' dissertation where a bit of logic is necessary, I think watching this video felt a bit like what you described you felt reading that quote from Andrew Wiles.
Please do a history on the independence of the continuum hypothesis from ZFC axioms from the discoveries or creations of Kurt Godel and Paul Cohen and later with W. Hugh Woodin.
Wow that’s serious stuff! I’ll give it a go.
you inspired me. thank you.
That’s great to hear!
The illusion of the final written paper
as being the model for how research is carried out
is a real problem.
I read I think it was Derrida who pointed out that
the preface is usually the last thing written in a book.
I would add it is often read by "Captain Hindsight" too.
I was interested that research is a creative process
so researchers can learn from creative artists of various sorts
One of the things I do is keep a notebook and review the jottings
I am not doing research but it helps me to see what I have learnt or discovered.
My feeling about mathematics / logic
can often be summed up
by a saying which feels very Daoist
"Mathematics is so hard because it is so simple"
mantap....bang jago
I don’t know why the view count is so low, maybe for humanity& philosophy the thumbnail style is too exaggerated, causes attention loses?
