'I had this very awkward period of socialising with other mathematicians' never a truer word said

Prof. Maynard lectured linear algebra II for first year undergrads in maths and he is certainly a very good lecturer. Also a decent drawer on whiteboard haha. Kinda surreal to have a Field's medalist teaching me basic linear algebra.

James should make a Run DMC-style pendant out of his medal to wear to those dinner parties. I would.

What a stellar achievement from such a relatively young person.

so when you win the field medal, the prize is that you get a field to run around in, or farm or whatever you want to do with it.

I hate seeing an extended cut after finishing the main video. I don't want to see the same interview twice.

I get what you’re saying, but at the same time link to this video was in description of the one on main channel.

@@mina86 I get what you're saying, but at the same time, there's no way I should have known to click the link to this video at the start of that video. Brady often does these interviews and the bonus video is only extra content, not duplicate content.

so just skip the part you've already seen. It's not an imposition from Wittgenstein or anything.

Brady - great interview! You have considerable interviewing talent. Have you ever considered being a talk show host?

Amusingly, Helsinki is actually closer to the Ukraine than St. Petersburg is. (about 100 km closer, as it turns out.)

Why don't they make a second version of the Fields Medal for people over 40, or does it exist and is just not as talked about?
@johnk7025 Жыл бұрын
There are other rewards, not Fields, I think only for older mathematicians.
@MK-13337 Жыл бұрын
The prizes that have no age limit usually go to older mathematicians with a long career and a corresponding amount of publications. There are a few, most notably the Abel prize.

didn't you interview him already for his Fields Medal ?
@JM-us3fr Жыл бұрын
No I think he mostly interviewed him on some interesting result he had proven. Some were definitely huge leaps in the field of sieve theory, so he definitely earned the Fields Medal

Hey Numberphile I'm a junior Data Engineer working with problems that I think in my Humble opinions are sequential meaning you can solve them by drawing a graph in the conceptual stage, is it always clear on what's missing when you mathematicians solve problems? Like do you know what's the next step and just don't know how to arrive there? Is it the 'how' that's missing?

But who the f. cares, if you solved the Riemann Hypothesis, whether you get the Fields medal or not? If you solved the RH, you solved the RH. I guess Andrew Wiles will be forgotten by history, since after all, he didn't get Fermat in time for his Fields medal...

It's like the sticker they give you at school when you learn your twelve times table, but bigger, and less sticky.
