    Having not made it through the calculus series as an undergraduate, this interview made the field seem so enticing, That I'm passing with the idea of purchasing and reading the book.
    Nicely done.

      What kind of calculus series does Princeton have?

    have you considered putting up more PU Press podcasts up here?
    you have a very interesting channel. Should probably put that simon video about fungud in a playlist somewhere, along with the pbs eons vid on mushrooms as the very first deep colonizers of the surface of earth.

    Very excited and intimidated. Will be purchasing this book to become better at math. Studied math on and off for years. Not a math major.

      I have a 4 year degree in mathematics, this book mainly takes off from there.

    There's no book like this one. The Kindle version is very good, but I wish there were more hyperlinks.

    Gowers is not a "former" Fields medal recipient

    • @tsenotanev
      @tsenotanev 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      clearly "former" means not this year's recipient but a recipient of some previous year .. in his case 1998..

      @@tsenotanev Clearly he is a recipient, not a former recipient

      I’d go along with that. As there is no office, term or incumbency of the Fields Medal award there can be nothing that distinguishes a present from a previous recipient. This is also true of Purple Hearts, Congressional Medals of Freedom, Orders of the British Empire, la Légion d’honneur, and the former Eisernes Kreuz (‘former’ because it was discontinued in 1945).

      I think our best option is math stack exchange atm, or we can reach out to individual scientists and query them, stack exchange doesn't allow for extended discourse, it's a question and answer paradigm which is hostile to science proper but they will let you move things to chat, if anyone knows of a better option please let us know

    Additional question:
    How much does the Companion insulate itself from obsolescence as the yields of current areas of mathematical research become exhausted?

    X = X^3 Mathematics is last for all this formula.
