- Comedian/Mathematician Matt Parker - Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension: A mathematician's journey through narcissistic numbers, optical dating algorithms, at least two kinds of infinity, and more.
Parker sets out to convince his readers to revisit the very math that put them off the subject as 14-year-olds, and this time to see math through the lens of humor and real-life scenarios.

17:00 "okay, again your keeping your excitement at a nice manageable level."
me: running towards my shoes at 1am.
Wow he had a boring crowd. Cracking jokes to a wall of pokerfaces must be nervewrecking.
Since he used to be a teacher I think he's seen worse.
It's pretty nervewracking. But yeah, he was a teacher hahaha
A. There aren't microphones in or directed at the audience. What you're hearing seems to be coming straight from the microphone. B. It's a lecture, not a comedy show. I get he put some comedy into it, but it is still a lecture.
Spot on, Trey.
15:12
Little did Matt Parker know, this wouldn't be the last time he created a square…
*_slow clap_*
A SQUAAARE! * Crowd cheers*
Can we all just acknowledge Matt’s mom’s knitting prowess. As a person who knits on a regular basis, I cannot imagine changing colors so many times and to keep track of where the ones and zeroes are supposed to be while doing it is incredible. That’s not taking into account the absolute terror that is trying to fix any knitting mistake a row or more back. I’m seriously impressed.
How he got through the pizza delivery thing without mentioning Domino’s Pizza I will never know.
the idea of a pizza spontaneously arriving at the door gave me a very big chuckle, you can see his face when he realises the impending nonsense
Name Namerson I'm sure that was a rehearsed bit. Funny nevertheless
sycois he must love his own jokes quite a lot
i told my mom about the self aware pizza and he said it would be a horrifying experience. we're americans living in idaho. idaho people are a pretty tough breed. she, as an idahoan with previous paranormal experiences said "no it wouldn't! free pizza!" i said "yeah! that was my thought! but he's trying to make a joke. a pizza floating at your door having just rung the doorbell" and she said "free pizza!" i have to agree with her. just grab it and eat it.
Worst crowd. Like the way he still kept going. Slow clap for Matt
A real Parker Square audience.
you killed me... :D
Sorry, you can't do Parker Square jokes anymore, not after the 10,958 video- I think he's officially vindicated himself!
The video you speak of led me to the Parker Square video in the first place. Plus, I'm still undecided on the 10,958 solution!
Too bad, for the past year he's been trying to shake it, and here he finally showed that it's the mascot of "giving things a go" even when you know you have very little chance.
17:54 Check the subtitles. Naughty Google employee.
That bits!
super void What a bitch!
He says "the bits you're holding", but the subtitles say "the bitch you're holding".
HES A BEACH BUM
Crap I can't unhear it now
3:10
Exactly. Thank you.
?
?
Imagine working at Google where you get cool standup in your lunchbreak
Matt's mother is simply ancient Roman. She doesn't distinguish between U and V.
You mean w and v?

Anything with Matt Parker is fantastic. Great talk and great video. :)
I always tie my shoes so that my feet can be slipped in and out without having to untie them.
My trick is far superior at saving time.
Put your shoe on halfway and tie it. It saves you the guesswork.
I wear ones with a shoe-lace design over it and actually have a velcro-strap
Impeccable efficiency and somehow manages to fairly resemble normal shoes~
Tough crowd.
Had the opportunity to see him do one of his talks today!! I definitely recommend it to anyone! So much fun :D
Great Matts speech. I recommend all to tune in to Numberplate channel if you haven't already...
Incredible funny and interesting to watch. thanks for the talk!
32:44 Looks like his calculator was a bit of a Parker Square.
Thumbed up at the moment of the error-correcting scarf.
25:30 "If the domino falls over, you know there's someone at the door." Or it's windy.
What's it like to have a mom who's a bigger nerd than you are? I love her.
!Seriously, this is the best talk i ever heard
Subscribing to his channel will ensure you taking that statement back for he does many videos that may be far more interesting to you!
Subscribe!
He is brilliant, needed to go to the toilet through the whole of this video, and i managed to hold it in, now i can finally go
TH-cam really needs to add a "pause" button.
Dont touch the pause button, how dare you, in the middle of maths, tut tut tut
@@RFC3514 they must keep having issues trying to stop Matt parker talking about maths
Thank you!
"The thumb is also optional but highly recomended"
I luv this dude. He appears in a lot of science vids.
I think the bigger problem when drilling a hole into a bluray is that the whole thing will be off balance depending on the mechanics of the drive
This is crazy (17:30) I've been tying bags like this for years. I discovered it when I was a kid and have been using it to tie like trash bags or shopping bags. Never tried it with shoelaces tho
@Talks at Google The inaudible bit at 36:25 is 'pedant'.
This audience didn't laugh nearly enough.
They're Google employees; they probably knew most of this already.
nah~ it's just what you get if you forcefully form an audience out of tired workers during their lunch-break
Too busy working out how his tricks work to laugh.
lmao what if he added a laugh track

In a different version of Things to See and Hear in the Fourth Dimension talk he gives a slightly-more error-proof explanation of the shoelace knot (which I'm familiar with as the "Ian Knot"). Here, he says the right comes forward and left goes back. In the other talk, he examines the way the laces exit the foundation knot and the one that goes back loops forward and the one that comes forward loops back. This prevents accidentally tying a granny knot, because a foundation knot can be tied right-over-left OR left-over-right. A granny knot is more likely to slip and you'll find folks wanting to double-knot their shoes to overcome it. You can tell if you have a granny knot by gently tousling the loops of your final bow. If they "want" to lay with one loop toward your ankle and one toward your toes, then it's a granny knot. A stronger knot will "want" to lay with the loops toward the sides of your shoe.
hmm, well, I hoped to hear some 4D-stuff from the book. Since I watch numberphile videos, I already knew about all this except for the scarf...
***** Here he gives almost the same talk (to a childish audience) in some parts, but focus on the 4th dimension around half of the video. Although some other things he talks at the beginning are kind of relevant as he compared it how it would be in 4D, so worth to watch the whole thing

So now you know it, the fifth dimension is Love....
@Talks at Google there is an error in the subtitles at 24:06. It says the shoe rather than assume.
I am 35 years old... I just learned a new, more efficient way to tie my shoes.... not what I expected from this talk.
How the domino adder erred in more interesting than if would have all gone right.
There are more ways to get something wrong than there is to get it right.
it showed how terribly can a complicated circuit go if there is a flaw....
I'm pretty sure the [inaudible] part in the captions was, "pedant".
Would have been more funny if she got the "E" wrong instead of the "U". "Meth is fun. Keep doing meth". :)
Indeed. Math. Not even once.
Math damages brain and so does meth :)
Zerberster1337 Meth ain't no danger to no brains!
***** what's that maths you speak of, heathen? Is that your centimeter magic?
Dopamine breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. Meth causes such an elevation that body can't process it as quickly. You basically end up bleaching your brain. Though probably only in cases of extreme abuse. Alcohol abuse can cause brain changes similar with types of dementia. Ventricles seem to increase in size a lot.
At 19:09, the subtitles say 'just joint', but it should be 'disjoint'.
Everyone loves matt parker
*And that's a fact*
12:23 I laughed at that more than i would've expected
21:00 that is definitely interesting.
What about this is in four dimensions? (Except that it happens in three spacial dimensions, while time passes?)
Did he talk about the 4th dimension in his talk before the Q&A?
Its difficult to make the transition between popular and expert audiences. I'm pretty sure most of the people there already had a good handle on the material. Plus it was a business audience.
The moment when he put down the microphone is so great!
The nonchalant audience made this very very hard to watch. Matt Parker's a stand-up comedian/mathematician so he feeds off the crowd's energy. If you're unenthusiastic and stay quiet during his punchlines, it goes against what he stands for and what he wants to achieve in his lectures.
10:05: The audience member clearly says "three", but the subtitles say "eight"...
The failure of the dominoes at the compact scale shows the possibility of quantum tunnelling in compact circuits.
Matt, incredible passion. One error in the presentation. The number presented to you was 21,962 to find out the cube root. You said it is 28. Actually 28 cubed is 21,952 and not 21,962. May be 21,962 was a error in caption only.
After boosting the audio and listening closely, that is indeed an error in caption.
Which makes more sense than the two digit number they decided to cube being somewhere between 28.004251057 and 28.004251054
* giggle * physics
I can relate
i'm never tying my shoes the same way again.
38:00 In the email, it doesn't say standupmaths.com; it says standupmath.com
wow you're a genies
I want to know how to escape into the 4th dimension like Homer Simpson did. Also, is it as dangerous as some people think? Could you get flipped out there in a higher dimension, and then come back and starve because none of the food is compatible anymore?
Did I just miss the 4D stuff, or did he just skip it entirely?
Best mum ever
mathematics as a evangelist his talks could convince people
that there is a invisible woman
living in the
sky......
I'm teaching my kids to tie their shoes like that
I didn't have youtube when I was a teen, but I did have The Open University !
What about the chesterhedron?
Would you like a short video every weekday morning with the top 5 news stories to set you up for the day?
Was this literally only recommended because it's the 11th November 2018?
*Best Mom EUW*
Stone Trey
SquidCaps Haha that's what I was thinking too!
No info on 4d?!?
it hurts me to watch him try to engage the pokerface crowd
how do you do the cubing trick?
+The Andrewcc7 Gamer Number of thousands in the answer tells you the first digit and the last digit of the answer tells you the second digit.
For the number of thousands N you have to find a single-digit number M such that M³ ≤ N < (M+1)³. For example, if the number was 58, you get 58³ = 195112 so number of thousands is 195 and we can observe: 5³ = 125 ≤ 195 < 216 = 6³. So you just need to memorise cubes of all digits.
For the last digit (in our example 2), you need to remember the following mapping:
0 0
1 1
2 8
3 7
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 3
8 2
9 9
Where does it come from? It is mapping of last digit from a cube of a digit to that digit (so really you remember the same thing as for thousands). E.g. 3³ = 27, last digit is 7 so if 7 is the last digit in the answer, 3 was the starting number.
17:50 Captions PLZ
But what if I really want a self aware pizza?
@17:50 Subtitles
Can you come back to Australia and teach me?
maybe instead of having your employees watch these shows, get people who are actually interested.
Reminds me of the company outings we used to have. Always made mandatory, because otherwise 75% of the room would have been empty, and the speaker was always unrelated, at best. "Can this guy hurry up? I want to get to the buffet before there's a huge line"
I mean, I like Matt and his talks, but there's nothing worse than being forced to show up at these things, with equally chagrined coworkers and listen to same dude trying to make his particular subject cooky and fun.
It's not his fault, it's just the constant failing of organisers of things like this to realise that most of their employees aren't nearly as enthusiastic as they themselves are, and they'd even rather just be working than be thére.
Check Numberphile for more Matt and other math things!
3:10 that's me
I tried way too long to tie my shoe like that. Failed horribly. 😢
Love the wrinkles on his shirt
19:14 is that man behind the orange cap guy Gordon Ramsey?!?
I was going to say "Gordon doesnt wear glasses" but he actually has a pair similar to the one this guy is wearing...
44:58 it isn't him. Eventhough there would be very little reason for him to bé there, your comment díd have me wondering :P
I thought Brady Haran did the Numberphile channel and Matt was just an occasional guest.
+GeirGunnarss But that's right.....
***** Awsomiihill I know but Matt said "I do the numberphile channel on youtube..." and doesn´t mention Brady so it comes off as him taking credit for it.
+GeirGunnarss In UK English, "I do" can be used to mean "I appear on". You could, for instance, hear a celebrity say "I did Top Gear last year and Parkinson last week", and it wouldn't be interpreted as taking credit for either.
awmperry You are right. Just a linguistic foible. I bet no one from the UK get in confused but they do have an international audience.
thanks for this, I learned a new thing
knots, they tie us wolves together
what a tough audience
LEND THE KNOTS TO DEEPMIND TO WORK ON....
I was thinking it was going to be the guys from South Park
You mean Trey Parker and Matt Stone? LOL
Me too. A bit disappointed at the lack of poop jokes
Thought the same thing for a moment until I read the title of the book. Then I recognised the name. It's Prof. Parker from Numberphile.
And here I was and saw the name Matt Parker: "Oh the Mathematician! I got to watch this!" I was pretty pleased that i did. :)
TED does a WAAAAAYYY better job with the recording. SHAME ON YOU *GOOGLE*!!!
17:30 someone give me some string
nice, but expanding D's are not linear, they never grow as he suggests, if If IF you understand them beyond his simplistic maths.
tough crowd o.O
how many of you actually tried the mathematical knot
self wright
Go Numberphile!
My favourite use for a soduku is going onto a train or bus and starting to randomly fill digits in just to piss people off, just fill a whole row of 5s in or something, it really pisses people off
"Other" humans?
Judging by the enthusiasm of the crowd Google employees are a dreary bunch.
Matt Parker, one of the many love children of Matt Stone and Trey Parker :)
where is the 4th dimension ?
Over there.
*runs away*
It's right next to you. You just have to try hard enough.
I'd point the way to it for you, but my arm would disappear.
I'm pretty sure that question doesn't make sense, I believe it is possible for it to be any"where".
