This is an absolutely top notch video. There's no pretension,it's completely natural special occasion being in Mr. Green's mill. Roger is fantastic and you come away thinking, "it can only be a privilege to study Green's functions in more depth".
1:35 LOL! Saw that windmill every day on my way to work, never actually went to it though. One of those things I guess, don't tend to look at things near you.
I think planimeters (based on Green's theorem) are incredibly fascinating. Trace an arbitrary smooth closed contour and you calculate the area inside! It's kind-of sad how older technologies (and the mathematical insight they provide), like the planimeter, die away as computer's have taken over. I guess the same can be said for slide-rulers.
Wow, awesome; I did not know about planimeters. Btw, you seem like the type of fellow who would appreciate going to the Oughtred Society's website, and looking at the their Rarities page.
These videos and the related ones on the other channels are very appreciated. I should have chosen a career in chemistry. These windows in to the world of university learning are an inspiration to never stop one's education. Thank you again.
Wonderful video thank you for taking the time to actual go there and create this. It has made me appreciate this method of solving differential equations a lot more.
These professors seem really great. It would have been an honour to be educated by them if I could have managed to go tho this university. I'll settle for these videos though.
Sometimes education in the time of established and aggressive institutions can defuse a brilliant intellect from expanding in its own yet remarkable insightful way.
@Raphaelus13 The poor doc had been up anddown several flights to the top of the mill to set up things, and was a bit out of breath when he went up for the third time. Those stairs are very steep.
As long as this mill stands, George green 💚 will always remain in in our memories 🙏 So thank you alsome video , you touch on all the points, so interesting 🤔 I am from Nottingham & I love this place ❣️ I'm just getting into George green so all the information is welcome 🤗
@DaRealRincewind Living a happy life and doing what you love is worth a lot more than recognition I guess. At least he didn't get persecuted by the catholic church or forced to work on nuclear weapons, unlike some people who did earn recognition but happened to live in the wrong country at the wrong time.
Another marvellous video... Thanks for connecting modern physics to normal wave motion at 3:35. In future videos could you explain some of the ideas of wave particle duality that seem to disagree with classical common sense. Also are Green's Functions needed at the Large Hadron Collider? I understand this might be too much physics for a Sixty Symbols video.
@@daydreamer05 Airplanes do not become lighter at any point, except in the case of weight of fuel burned, and even then the airplane is heavier than air. A Cessna 172 at max gross weight on takeoff is 2,450 lbs. In order to cause the plane to fly, the wings must produce more than 2,450 lbs of lift by accelerating the relative wind downwards. The resultant force causes the aircraft to fly. Look up pictures of wingtip vortices and you can see what an airplane wing does to the air in flight.
@allmightydouche other channels include BackstageSci, Bibledex and nottinghamscience... I'm not studying, though perhaps one day the uni will give me an honorary degree... ha ha!
I always wonder about these guys who have no education but are brilliant in math, how do they learn all the notation? Are there math books lying around their house as kids?
They did? Well, you can't. Suppose Green weighed 70 kg in his twenties, but gained 30 kg after 40 years. The same skeleton, including skull, but you'll have to admit that the face of a 70 kg person looks different from that of a 100 kg person.
A mill? A bachelor all his life, whiteout being so in the good respect of the word (that would be to be having the degree for anyone who is wondering)? And the reason for working in a mill and being a bachelor had nothing to do with him being crazy? Isn't this the perfect example of how the oppressive representatives of the social sciences are holding us back? Is it not time for us to stand up and get rid of the worlds problems right away?

One of my favorite videos ever from one of my favorite channels. So elegantly explained with an intuitive demonstration. So well done!
@Digeridude I'm not sure, but I think there may be some debate about whether that's him...
Lol @ 2:35
Also that was rather touching. I feel almost sorry for Green. Like being the hero who know one aknowledges... sorta sad...
Im a mining engineer and wouldnt have gotten anywhere without Green;s theorem - it's been the bain of my life!
1:35 LOL!

What an amazing timing! I just started reading on the Green's function! Thank you!
I love the little bits of "life" you thread through these videos Brady, like at 2:31.
"Green never had any recognition in his lifetime"
Vow, what a shame. Its horrible. Pity...
@LogInfinity neither did I! I was joking too!
I recall learning Green's Theorem in Calculus class.
Well its different from Green's function, but well done by the same man
wow - I can safely say I've never, in all these vids, seen this professor looking so smartly dressed - and he looks great for it!
Isn't there a painting of him in the Physics building's B floor?
These videos and the related ones on the other channels are very appreciated. I should have chosen a career in chemistry. These windows in to the world of university learning are an inspiration to never stop one's education. Thank you again.
It's an old joke, and it changes depending you're a physicist or an artist.
I used Green's functions in my PhD thesis.
Haha.. I just finished a QFT class. I never knew this. Thanks Sixty Symbols :D

@1:00 Geez, Brady.. let the man catch his breath before the interview >.
Sometimes education in the time of established and aggressive institutions can defuse a brilliant intellect from expanding in its own yet remarkable insightful way.
@TheBetterGame we've done a video in which they're asked if they are good at sports?
@mashugac yeah, the volume nob
These videos are really great- thanks from Botswana!
"This'll give me a heart attack....What I do for science" That's the best quote ever!
I love you nottingham U science!
@sixtysymbols good point, i had forgotten that.

So thank you alsome video , you touch on all the points, so interesting 🤔
I am from Nottingham & I love this place ❣️
I'm just getting into George green so all the information is welcome 🤗
Excellent video
Would love to watch more from you.
Also interesting that the oil industry relies heavily on Green’s functions to interpret seismic data properly!
Great works used by many that would follow.
This is really interesting! Thank you.

At least he didn't get persecuted by the catholic church or forced to work on nuclear weapons, unlike some people who did earn recognition but happened to live in the wrong country at the wrong time.
That's a sad story, but at least he finally got recognised in the end.
@FAB12UCB Brady, the camera guy of all the videos.
This video wins for the "Mind Your Head" warning sign!
Not for the green emergency exit sign with the "man" falling to his death?
just wondering why syxtySymbol's videos are loading very slow in HD, when onther channel's HD are quite fast. Or it's just me?
Another marvellous video... Thanks for connecting modern physics
to normal wave motion at 3:35. In future videos could you explain
some of the ideas of wave particle duality that seem to disagree with

If you go to the windmill today, you can watch this very video there still
The Science and Engineering library at Nottingham is named after him.
It was also Lord Kelvin who said, "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
So he was right, because airplanes need to become lighter before take off.

@FAB12UCB Brady, the same dude that owns NothinghamScience and PeriodicVideos.
I want to know what's at the edge of the universe, and beyond.
I do too
As long as Green functioned routinely, Mrs. Green was adequately satisfied.
Thank you for adding a little gain to the vids.
Typed George Green into google... whole first page is about some young footballer who played for Everton.
@zKa0sz Yes, it is the same.
May I ask is this the same Green who gave us Green's theorem and work on surface integrals?
Yes.
What a champ.
Next question for your "ask physicists questions" video series. "Do you exercise? or are you the typical booky nerd"
Cool story. Pretty soon I'll be learning Green's theorem in one of my math. methods courses.
hey
TheLord hey
You know you can derive Green's function from Yellow's function and Blue's function.
I wish this video was around in 2006 lol, hated green's functions during my undergrad!
That's a nice looking timer...
I wouldn't be surprised if G. Green looked anything like Prof. Bowley here, without the glasses, of course.
You're not? Good for you! (Who is this guy Millers, by the way?)
Maybe he looked liked Windy Miller from Trumpton?
yes, new video
If you like this one, there's a good chance you'll like my channel called FavScientist
- Brady
Lol @ 2:35
Also that was rather touching. I feel almost sorry for Green...
The cameraman is like 3 foot tall?
@jeebersjumpincryst
I have passed this comment on to my wife: she takes the credit if I look smart.
I wore the suit to show respect for George Green.
Sad not to be recognised for ones talent.
@allmightydouche other channels include BackstageSci, Bibledex and nottinghamscience...
I'm not studying, though perhaps one day the uni will give me an honorary degree... ha ha!
nice
i chose to click on this because a windmill was in the thumbnail...
found the dutch
who owns this channel?
Thumbs up for science
I always wonder about these guys who have no education but are brilliant in math, how do they learn all the notation? Are there math books lying around their house as kids?
I think he bump his head on his way up/down
They did? Well, you can't. Suppose Green weighed 70 kg in his twenties, but gained 30 kg after 40 years. The same skeleton, including skull, but you'll have to admit that the face of a 70 kg person looks different from that of a 100 kg person.
@sixtysymbols
that was very mean. I didn't mean my comment in a hostile way.
My love, my life, my Hooorhaaaaay!
A mill? A bachelor all his life, whiteout being so in the good respect of the word (that would be to be having the degree for anyone who is wondering)? And the reason for working in a mill and being a bachelor had nothing to do with him being crazy? Isn't this the perfect example of how the oppressive representatives of the social sciences are holding us back? Is it not time for us to stand up and get rid of the worlds problems right away?
so thats why they call it a bachelors degree!
And I'm here, using green functions with no practical understanding of it. Until now!
This prof is always worried about filming his back side. Is he :O ?
loled at 2:31 hahaha :) love those moments
i thought he said Nothingham.... sounds like a great imaginary place :D
@sixtysymbols
I should flag this for spam :P
I did... mostly. Hey, it's noisy here, cut me some slack.
did you even listen?
haha catch your breath professor!
Is that a slinky? That's a slinky, isn't it?
@LogInfinity and I should block this user... ;)
@mashugac then you have a crappy computer ha
lol, the poor doc was about to die. He could have gone up slower
Lol @ 2:35
He is a very violent man.
Stop bullying electrons.
Useless video for understanding Green’s functions
