Actually I seriously doubt if Dominic was in THIS class, but maybe Finch had been a math teacher earlier. Either that or Finch and he had the same math teacher, or Finch and the teacher read the same book.
The greater irony is that the person holding the cell phone understands often less about math then those people who existed prior to the existence of the cell phone whose work was required in order to be able to build the cell phone, we're intimate in their study of the nature of mathematics. Now that's irony
@@americannomadnews5370 honestly I don't understand how smartphones works. I get the general idea of telephones, radios, and one or two things about LED and transistors. But all the other components, their principles, the operating system, and how they all fit together is way- WAY beyond I could ever comprehend
yup. my old man in his 70s was complaining about software the other day, wanted some help from the young ones because "they know this stuff" no they don't it's all dumbed down to a few clicks and swipes. easy peasy.
He turned a snarky question and gave an amazing answer, turned math into philosophy, and earned respect from the students. We need more teachers to be like finch.
Nah, can't have these lunatics running around inspiring humanity to solve the problems that only they can solve. Locking them up so the world can burn while the rich play with expensive toys is a much better outcome or so the present circumstances would illustrate that they believe.
The thing that I love the most about this scene, is that he started the explanation with "let me show you" and never made any of the students feel dumb, nor did he lose them because of HOW he explained it. I also always saw when the students realized when he was different from a majority of the teachers they'd had in that ONE explanation.( p.s. I adore this show!)
Translation: If you know enough about that damn circle, equations and all, you could do just about anything with it. Figure out the combination to that lock, hack into that account, determine both if and when something will happen, even build a machine that can give you a number indicating a person of interest. God, I miss this show.
In a perfect universe, I'd live next door to Finch and Reese. Our kids would play together. I'd teach them how to cook and crochet, they'd teach them how to hack the NSA and fight guerrilla wars. It'd be a great neighborhood to live in.
hi. i am a high school teacher myself (math & physics). i loved this scene, although it's still not proved that pi has the characteristic of what mathematicians call 'normality'. will not go into this any further, lot of it is on the net but i just want to say i struggle to be as good and interesting teacher as Finch portraits it here. most important thing is knowledge about the subjects and expand the discussions beyond the textbooks. this is what get students focused and not by the sleepy examples in the book. have a nice day, /teacher
Do you ever face students who don’t pay attention or create an atmosphere where you are unable to teach? A career in teaching feels daunting to me because I think I’ll be actually afraid of my students!
Anuj Kalra it’s a year later, so I don’t know if you’ll see this, but yeah. Those students are everywhere. Good schools, bad schools, public, private, homeschool... I’ve taught in a lot of places and there’s always that one kid. And there’s also always the one who cares. I also ended up teaching middle school because, even though the subject matter is pretty dull, the kids have a lot more energy (too much?), are more inquisitive, and haven’t been totally ruined by puberty/drugs/helicopter parents/etc yet. I’m very short, so it helps to pretend a chihuahua is my spirit animal... Students can drive me nuts, but every once in a while I get a note or a card or a drawing, and i keep all of those in a special folder for the days where it feels like no one cares even though I created a cool lesson plan and spent hours setting up. Some days the kids really don’t care. But some days they do. And those days are really awesome.
The one important thing in this scene is this. There was a point, where every single student put down their phones, NOT because they had to, but because they wanted to. That is called engagement, and that is the best most powerful teaching tool there is.
Whenever a kid expresses skepticism about the usefulness of a subject, I bring up my 8th grade. That was 49 years ago. We all took one semester of typing. We knew we'd never really use it. It was just an easy hour out of our school day. Who could have known that starting about 30 years later, we'd all have up to a dozen typewriter keyboards in all of our houses.
And ironically, this is where the future meth Lord Dominic was born as well. Caleb and Dominic - both boys are the complete antithesis of each other. Both were incredibly smart, talented & tactical men who stumbled and went into a downward spiral of crime. While Caleb was an anonymous, shadow drug lord who was dealing for selfless reasons ( to secure his grieving mother's future + to remove himself, the cause of her pain ); Dominic went all out to uplift himself & his friends out of the grip of Elias and his old ways with newer tech & better schemes. Problem was, Finch's timely intervention with the Machine's help not only saved Caleb from suicide but also put him on the righteous path to become a tech tycoon; while Dominic kept spiralling further down the rabbit hole in his criminal ways till the Samaritan eliminated him by force.
I find it hilarious that so many would be mathematicians came in here to critique his explanation. It is a television show not a college lecture. Turn it off and have a little bit of fun.
It's the theme of the Machine "Listening with a million ears" - track 21 on the OST Implying that what HE used that information for was constructing the Machine. Or that the machine runs somehow using pi.
We can easily think of an infinite sequence of digits (even without periodicity) that doesn't include the digit, say 7. And it wouldn't contain every combination, obviously. It is believed that pi does, but that is an open conjecture at this point. (the technical term is "normal number") Infinite monkey theorem is unrelated becasue pi is a fixed number with a fixed decimal expansion, which is totally deterministic. No randomness.
OMG - I was just thinking this, the other day!!! ;D I HAVE to write a fic of this... Michael Emerson is The Doctor, Jim Caviezel is the burn-noticed former CIA operative with a hero complex, who becomes his companion. And he calls The Doctor, 'Doc', which annoys him, but he gets used to it...! hehe
In the 12 grade (math III) I asked the same: Teacher’s reply: Most likely you never will. It is to make you think!!! If you cannot think, you cannot solve problems. If you cannot solve problems, you are no better off than an animal.
I had good Mathematics teachers in High School. But if one of them would have answered that question, in that manner, I believe it would have inspired me to work a lot harder at a subject I was never very good at. It's hard to say, I suppose.
My teacher showed this in class, I'm probably going to watch the show now XD, she was surprised I was the only one that knew what pi was, and could memorize the first 15 numbers
+Gamer Wolf Good for you. Memorizing digits is meaningless though. Pi is far more than just an infinite string of digits. The decimal expansion really doesn't mean much at all.
+cdsmetalhead99 Well put. Its the use that matters. Imagine if we had 8 numbers before the 0 instead of 10. Phi would look completely different but would mean the same thing.
Gamer Wolf Lol not that its not impressive, I mean 15 digits is a lot to keep in your head. Its just that I'd be more impressed if you had some sort of unique formula to reach it from whole numbers or something like that.
+Afonso Neto All irrational numbers go on infinitely without repeating, so you may as well have gotten a square root of 5 tattoo. And furthermore, as Chris Mbakwe points out in his comments below, there is no mathematical proof demonstrating what the show claims. It's just a dumb, poorly researched script. So, basically what I'm saying is that you should feel bad about yourself.
I don't see any comments from "Chris Mbakwe" in this section. either their comments are deleted or their display name has changed. would you like to paste those comments, if possible?
See, why can't we have great teachers like him? It was rare to have awesome teachers looking back...they're all great don't get me wrong but teachers that knew how to really teach I feel takes a genius like him 😉
I really loved this show.. I hope that the computer, comes back at another time, on another show that's tied to Person of Interest. I was hoping the show Next would pick up and the Ai would eventually resurface to save the day but alas, it didn't do so well and was cancelled, no season 2. Person of Interest really left the show on a great note though and would love to see a continuation of it someday.
Thank you so much! Also, I didn't know he was talking about the machine, I thought it was just an interesting fact... But, now that I think about it, that makes so much sense. Thanks again.
In 1897, the Indiana House passed a bill stating that the value of Pi is an absolute number of 3.2, but the Indiana Senate ridiculed the idea, and the bill failed to become law.
Reminds me of "Close Encounters of The Nerd Kind", where one of the characters says he knows what Pi is because he was a scientist before he became a bad actor.
Everything has a mathematical basis to it. From colour to a blade of grass, a recipe, pixels, words. I'm not sure there's anything that exists that doesn't have a mathematical basis.. it's just my mind doesn't work in numbers. It's not how my brain equates things.. it doesn't mean maths isn't important but for me if I questioned something I'd ask someone else who could work it out but it still doesn't mean it will make sense to me personally.. yet to someone else it could be a missing link. This is how subjects and relationships with others can still work even if I personally don't get it. Why would I sit around stressing myself out on things that literally stress me out rather than moving in a direction that is positive and uplifting for myself. I understand basic maths .. that's all I need for my life.. it's not my life's work to understand mathematical equations. For those who can then fantastic. How your hardest and inspire who you can.. just don't ever try and force me to understand things that don't interest my own brain. Music is made up on numbers though.. beats or rythym is essentially number based.. one two three, one two three.. then a number of fast moves upon a top hat or snare drum .. and voila maths.. so essentially formulas can be sent through music to those who understand it.
The machine doesn't pick up random homicides, it only picks up first degree murder (every case Reese, Finch, and now Shaw have worked on involved various amounts of planning and forethought before they were carried out). Second degree murder and lower isn't premeditated, so the machine would be unable to detect it until minutes before it happened.
Just because the decimals go on forever doesn't mean every single number is contained within it, it's possible to repeat 11111 an infinite number of times
No, the sequence of numbers never repeats. There maybe some sequences that maybe similar but they are not the same. For example, suppose I had a sequence like 1234 in the number pi and it is followed by 1243. These sequences may look similar but they are not the same, hence the string of infinite numbers in pi never repeat.
There is a place for this speech, but if a student asks for application of Pi just tell them a few stories about how maths controlls everything in their actual lives by way of technology and how everything that is was discovered, invented, designed as being run with maths -- and that mastering (just applied, not need to get smart about maths) maths is their most realistic strategy of getting any agency in such a world -- unless they'll inherit a Billion from their parents.
"Like a lot of things, it's worthless unless you live your life to be worthy of it. Then it is beyond price." But I guess we're not allowed to say that, huh?
It's not that it will never repeat...but at it's current place (which they do have a super computer constantly computing the latest number of pi) it has yet to repeat..and its well past the 1 millionth number past the decimal. The amount of combinations there is close to 10 * 10^(∞-1)
Man I would gladly get schooled by Harold Finch anyday he knows how to turn something as boring to most people like that and show it's relevance and how it applies to our world.
Hmm. Wonder if mathmeticians would agree to the statement that pi is like the golden raito? As such Finch used the golden ratio as the space between the machine reintiantiate itself (completely new) at 12AM.
Dominic was in this class oh shit
what you do with that circle? well that would be up to you.
we came from Season 4 Episode 8 haha !
yeah
I know right! I was dafuq~~~. "All the world's infinite possibilities rest on a simple circle." I'm like 'dafuq that's what finch said'!!
Actually I seriously doubt if Dominic was in THIS class, but maybe Finch had been a math teacher earlier. Either that or Finch and he had the same math teacher, or Finch and the teacher read the same book.
Ppl using a smartphone asking when they are going to use math must be one of the sweetest ironies there are.

This was the video that got me hooked to the show, it's still the best series i've ever watched! : )
one of the most memorable scenes of POI. Finch spoke like a true geek as he usually is
if my teacher can teach like that……

People engage with shows differently and sometimes dissecting things is fun
its not about being a would be mathematician lol. People would get offended way more if something false or unproven was said about sports.
Finch has to be my teacher
All that was missing was the mike drop LOL I would love to be in Finches class.
It's the theme of the Machine
"Listening with a million ears" - track 21 on the OST
Implying that what HE used that information for was constructing the Machine. Or that the machine runs somehow using pi.
The Machine is outputing numbers.
She seemed so proud and cool when when fellow students laughed only to be blown away.
this scene somehow makes pi really interesting! Can you imagine if everyone had teachers that made everyone intrigued in a subject like this?

happy late pi day to finch and caleb
Such a beautiful sentiment.
if u ever had a teacher like Finch, you could be the next Elon Musk

This is one of the greatest definition of PI
The metaphor for what is unending, constant, real and all encompassing is Pi. You have to love it.

They must acknowledge it
If only math teacher would talk like him, be inspirational about math lots of people would "like" it i believe
brilliant! absolutely brilliant.... I always wondered what algebra was good for, now I know
That is teaching. That is a real teacher.
Best scene.
I wish my maths teachers had been more like this

Yes. And this is the best series ever.
My birthday is approximate value of pi. 22/7

It depends when you say the best... But it is one of the best scene I have seen in this serie.

Thank you so much, I think it's the second video!
this is such an amazing show. it's really a shame cbs doesn't put the episodes online.
The machine doesn't pick up random homicides, it only picks up first degree murder (every case Reese, Finch, and now Shaw have worked on involved various amounts of planning and forethought before they were carried out). Second degree murder and lower isn't premeditated, so the machine would be unable to detect it until minutes before it happened.
Just because the decimals go on forever doesn't mean every single number is contained within it, it's possible to repeat 11111 an infinite number of times
It is. But Pi has so far been calculated to 31.4 trillion without any pattern emerging, so it is safe to postulate.
Harold Finch would make as such a great teacher...
They have a website that will find any combination of numbers in pi.
season 3 will start September 24 2013 if i'm not mistaken
No, the sequence of numbers never repeats. There maybe some sequences that maybe similar but they are not the same. For example, suppose I had a sequence like 1234 in the number pi and it is followed by 1243. These sequences may look similar but they are not the same, hence the string of infinite numbers in pi never repeat.
The BEST Finch scene of the whole series. Without a date!
If they ever hope to be half as intelligent as the people who created the phones they can’t look away from... they would care about things like PI
There is a place for this speech, but if a student asks for application of Pi just tell them a few stories about how maths controlls everything in their actual lives by way of technology and how everything that is was discovered, invented, designed as being run with maths -- and that mastering (just applied, not need to get smart about maths) maths is their most realistic strategy of getting any agency in such a world -- unless they'll inherit a Billion from their parents.
"Like a lot of things, it's worthless unless you live your life to be worthy of it. Then it is beyond price." But I guess we're not allowed to say that, huh?
That person in the front looks like Stana Katic (Beckett from “Castle”)!
It's called "Listening with a Million Ears". I think it's track 21.
Dayum, that class is gonna need to take long, cold showers, cause they just got burned!
I would have liked to have Finch as my teacher.
It's not that it will never repeat...but at it's current place (which they do have a super computer constantly computing the latest number of pi) it has yet to repeat..and its well past the 1 millionth number past the decimal. The amount of combinations there is close to 10 * 10^(∞-1)
Mine too!!...Okay, I'm gonna organize a mondial scale kidnapping to have him here, and Reese will not be able to stop me!! Buwahahahahah!!! XD
