Mr. Huh, Poet turned Mathematician is one of my inspirations in today’s world!

Rather now he’s both poet and mathematician 😊

It's a shame that the audio quality is so bad

Unfortunately we had an equipment failure and had to fall back to in-built mics and sound reconstruction to even be able to get this out of it. Sorry about that. We've added subtitles though.

@@mpiMathSci I recommend reproducing the audio quality by a profesional and upload it again, cause It's a real problem

Not sure why I clicked on this, but I am so glad that I did. What an inspiration he is. The best part? I suspect he would not think of himself in that way. And to attribute a lot, even most, of his success to luck, very humble. Boy did I need to hear this as I am feeling stuck in the journey I am on (related to mathematics). I am renewed!

love it. im not a mathematician or anywhere in academia, a film student actually, and i love there's this poetic-ness in the way june speaks.

Excellent. Thank you. **For anyone concerned about the audio quality, I have found that turning on the closed captions works quite well.

When I'm met with a math problem that I don't know how to solve, I just go "Huh?"

It seems like everyone is wearing mics. Did the mics fail, or is using the room sound an error on the video production side? Edit: I'm about halfway in, and even at maximum volume on my laptop it's difficult to make out some of what is being said. If there is any way the audio can be fixed (or even improved) and the video re-uploaded, we would all be greatly appreciative!
