    adorable talk. I generally go for the talks that uses information and expertise in creative applications, but the ones that presents something so fundamental in our lives, like math, and forces us to think about it differently are always some of my favourites.

    The mathematician Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón answers a question that students around the world hate in math subjects and what mathematics is for?, How is it useful in life and how to implement it?

  • @joejoe4games
    @joejoe4games 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    hmm something doesn't quite seem right:
    (0.1mm*2^50)/1000 = 112,589,990,684m
    *But* one Astronomical Unit is 149,597,870,700m
    can someone pls. tell me where I'm wrong?

      I think the point is that it almost matches it :)

    • @IsYitzach
      @IsYitzach 9 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      You're right. But the 50th power is under by .25AU while the 51st power puts you over by .5AU. I think he said 50 folds because it's the closer of the 2. I think that falls into the category of rounding/close enough.

    • @jampk24
      @jampk24 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It's just an approximation using round numbers to demonstrate how unintuitive exponential growth is.

      Me too. I also come here to watch a video of a person doing a presentation, not focus all my attention at the bottom of the screen and just read from there. I might as well read a web page. It needs to be labelled so that people know what to expect.

      @jogitomonva 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      jaja, 71.45% de las personas es el porcentaje del total inmenso de la audiencia, se podía explicar diciendo que si hubieran 10000 personas 7145 pertencen a ese porcentaje y así no matamos a nadie. Tu interpetación trágica es para cuando se habla de sólo cien personas. Es que hay que ser...
