I sometimes wonder whether it is our educational system that made us feel this way toward our work and whether we would find more fulfillment and creativity in a less competitive environment.

@@sirmclovin9184 education system sucks big time. It's very systematic and boring. The curriculum is important but the approach is very very bad. Nothing exciting.

You gotta watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJ6ZrbV9usqpgHU.html

@Juan Exactly the same feeling!

​@@sirmclovin9184 Definitely each one needs to gauge his own well being versus work loads. You don't need to be Terence Tao to work with mathematics, and you don't need to work 12 hours a day absolutely: there are industry applied math positions, smaller universities, even teaching high school math usually leaves plenty of time for mathematical exploration (see the Numberphile maths teacher). As was said, I would guess 80% of the cases Tao (for example) does it for genuine love of the subject matter; of course, part of the time is probably due to obligations, some less interesting problem that needs to be solved, etc. But almost every occupation has that.

Yeah. Imagine how disappointed some of my subscribers must be when they realize what my channel is about.

RIGHT ON !!

@@Ethiopianexposer Guess what

Pretty much!

👍

he's definitly the EXCEPTION when it comes to 'theoretical/pure mathematicians' Outside of academia, good luck finding a decent paying job. The jobs that do pay well often have more criteria and training beyond what is studies outside the 'gate'

How he earn such lot of money ?

Wow!!

Many people have compensation packages that consist of multiple parts. Tao's case is likely not an exception. For example, even a lowly software engineer can have a base salary, a fringe benefit package, a signing bonus, and stock options. Also true is that the job title of the highest paid public employee often is Coach.

@@arijitmajumder2638 you can look it up. Is online being made public. He is a field medalist, that is probably how.

Oh wow!!! That is awesome that you do math on your own, keep at it:)

Thank you, @@TheMathSorcerer!! I will!!! :) :) :)

Good luck to you 💯

Thank you much,@@yevonnaelandrew9553!! :) :) :)

@@pinedelgado4743 ok keep it up

Oh this is deep, I know exactly what you mean. I think in many cases this is true. I have known some great teachers and they aren't always the best mathematicians. I have known a few that are good at both, but more often than that,this is not the case.

May I ask what the name of this book is? Thanks

@@bradleyli1569 The book is "The World of Raymond Chandler" Edited by Barry Day. The quote is on page 28. Hope this helps.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

@@dollarbill8959 true. But i put extra effort on math.

@@subhasdh2446 math is your only problem. Physics and CS themselves are not so hard as math.

@@dollarbill8959 CS isn't but physics? That's debatable because i find math relatively easier. Or maybe because I'm more into math and i find it interesting.

@@subhasdh2446 maybe you are right, I know nothing about physics, but only that it describes the laws of nature by means of math.

Good point!!!!!!

more so, wiles depended on a conjecture that had only recently been "proved" to complete his proof.

@@carlosgaspar8447 Which conjecture do You mean specifically? Is it the Frey curve business or something else? Asking because genuinely interested.

@@u.v.s.5583 It was the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture

@@alexanderluo Ah? Then you are wrong since Wiles is the author of proof of Taniyama-Shimura. That is exactly his great contribution. All the rest was done long before Wiles in mid 80ies.

Awesome!

Ramanujan did just that. He lived in extreme poverty in a city in India, and learned all his mathematics from a list of theorems.

Dang I knew Tao was famous but not that famous. He was teaching across from my classroom last year, should have taken a selife with him or something.

“If I continue on this path I should understand his proof in no time” ummm mate I don’t think you realise the difficulty difference between set theory and the Poincaré conjecture 😂 there’s a video on number theory that shows a math professor talking about how the proof was far beyond him and his colleagues so I wouldn’t get too ambitious bud

@@CH-zw2gm Honestly that's a fair assumption. It will take me years of training to understand even the first couple of pages of the proof let alone the other 328 pages of the proof that are on a monsters level. Of course which can be downloaded for free. I'll probably never reach it, but it would be worth giving it a shot.

@@kchannel5317 aye that’s the spirit

I feel crazy to imagine a proof that requires 39 pages, the first proof that i saw was the reason why the square root of two can not be rational, for this is enough less than half of a page. Sorry if i maked a grammar mistake.

Thank you!

I think it's how people view math or perceive it,generally people struggle at math,many do and those who don't actually may be seen as better and it may cause insecurity in those who can't so it could make it lonely.(Again what I believe).

Math is a complex subject with problems from various fields such as matrice theory,algebra,calculus,topology,square roots,trigonometry,topology etc.

But it's mainly the effort and how you understand the subject

I feel you bro, I struggle to be friends with people who are not into mathematics and physics hihi. They just don't think that these fields are interesting. I really love someone who knows what I am saying.

@@roswelcodiep.bernardo7288 The thing that probably annoys me the most is friends who consider me to be some "gifted genius" because I got me degrees in Math. They are under the impression that math is some innate natural gift that II was blessed with. Then I explain to them that its really not any kind of "gift" and that it came via lots and lots of hard work, study, practice, failure and disappointment and well as successes, etc. Somehow though they don't seem to understand this, even after I explain it, and continue envisioning it as some gift that I was blessed with.

LOL wow!

Hope you're ok. I graduated in Math ten years ago and I understand. One bit of advice from the future is this: don't set yourself up to fail for the sake of pre-conceived ideas regarding your own abilities/capabilities and horizons. Please read that sentence again. This world only allows winners to succeed, irrespective of the difficulty of the field. Someone with an IQ of 115 could struggle at math and live a life of horror and poverty. On the other hand, had that person chosen to start their own bakery business or became an electrical fitter running their own business, they would live a less stressed and more stable life with a greater sense of purpose. If I had my time again, I would not have gone to college/university. If I was running the country, I would put students into classes based on their IQ scores, not on tests that may or may not correlate with IQ. On graduating from high school, students will have been fairly educated according to their ability, ready for either trade, business or academic careers. It's ok to let go of unrealistic pressure, but do it in an informed way. Get an IQ test and know where you stand, then work forward from there. Remember that you aren't closing a door on a possible reality if that reality was never to be. There are a multitude of other parallel universes where you will be infinitely happier.

@@TheMathSorcerer That's not a constructive response for someone in this situation now, is it!

@Callum Dunne How would you classify people based on IQ? Anyone under 100 straight to fieldwork, around 120 to teaching and leading, over 130 locked in a dungeon to try and solve the hardest scientific problems that would benefit humankind?

@@InvincibleAirman doesn't have to be a dungeon, though I hear a lot of them do like that sort of thing...

good luck:)

I’d argue that if you work hard enough kn something you’ll end up remembering quite a bit about it; there are a a lot of intellectuals who don’t have “excellent” memories

Lol

Thanks for putting this here!!! I am 17 yr old and by no means a judge but an avg student. I am curious to know what fomula or algorithm have you just figured out. You may refuse to answer my lil question but it would a mean a world to me if a professional does consider my begging. :) Hope you will respond!!

@@ycombinator765 Well I don't consider myself a mathematical professional although I have a B.Sc. Special degree in the subject. I was an average student and became a Computer Software Engineer which suited my abilities. The point I was trying to make was mainly that mathematic students should be allowed to explore concepts for themselves rather than just being given formula to learn. Formulae themselves are not necessarily bad since they can provide useful shortcuts. For example Pythagoras is something you learn quite early and it is very useful to know. (I also found it more or less impossible to forget). The point is that anyone who knows a formula should be able to derive it from first principles. This can be encouraged by the teacher when the topic is first introduced. In the case of the Gauss example, the idea that he found a quick method to sum 1 to 100 could be introduced without defining the method. The students could then explore possibilities with hints where necessary from the teacher. Summations is one of the most important topics in mathematics and a good deal of time could be usefully spent on this topic. As far as the actual method I found, I was looking specifically to sum 1 to 100. There are a number of generic methods available for summing arithmetic progressions which you may have come across. But it occurred to me that you could split this specific problem into 10s. That is: 0 to 9, 10-19, 20 to 29 etc. In each case you can form n*10*10 plus the summation of 0-9. A simple pattern emerges and from this it is quite easy to form the summation from 1 to 100. The child Gauss was known to be a mental prodigy, and I am wondering whether he in fact found this method rather than the method normally attributed to him. As I mentioned this is not particularly spectacular but what surprised me was that it came to me completely out of the blue without any conscious fore thought.

You are welcome!

Well shit, I seem to have that one nailed down already. Only the extremely hard working part to go. I was getting places with that a while back till I hit a rough patch.

A lot of people think I'm good at math because I'm smart or practice a lot. But I've never mentioned my secret ingredient... I hate haircuts.
