not quite true - Grigori was willing to accept the 1,000,00.00$USD prize however on condition that the award was co-awarded to another mathematician Richard S Hamilton the pioneer of the Ricci Flow whom Perelman credited with providing the basis for his own work - the committee declined to do this and instead simply withdrew the prize money denying both Perelman and his fellow mathematician Hamilton - I quote "Perelman refused to accept the Millennium prize in July 2010. He considered the decision of the Clay Institute unfair for not sharing the prize with Richard S. Hamilton and stated that "the main reason is my disagreement with the organised mathematical community. I don't like their decisions, I consider them unjust."

I have heard this explanation of complex numbers many times, but they often fail to explain the benefits of not discarding the i. That keeping the i in there opens up a whole new world of possible transformations and calculations. Continuing math beyond its borders. Like Rieman was extending the zeta function beyond its borders.
@NateROCKS112 2 жыл бұрын
@@ypey1 for most stuff, it's just a utility thing. You _could_ try to represent everything as a 2D vector, but complex numbers can be treated exactly like real numbers in most cases, so they're easier to work with, e.g., with exponentiation. For example, you could also represent negative numbers as a subtraction problem (and indeed there's a construction that does this), with a tuple of, e.g., (1, 3), but it's so much easier to just call -2 a number. Edit: The comparison isn't exactly the same, since vectors and complex numbers have different algebraic properties (whereas the tuple construction is a construction of the model of, say, integer arithmetic, so it has the same structure).

' this has broad use, for instance, in electrical circuits and electrical engineering. moreover, one can easily see the relation with sines and cosines, Euler formula etc.

The way everything in math connects and intersects is beautiful to me. It's mind blowing to think that we, humans, some random species on some random hunk of rock in this absolutely massive universe, have developed a universal language to define everything we observe, everything we can't observe, and everything in between. I really hope I'm still around when some of these brain stumping math problems and equations are finally figured out. To see what advances could be made once we have some of the answers. It'd be even more interesting to know what the people that originally thought them up would have done with them if they had figured them out.

It's because he says 1+2+3+... doesn't equal any number and they have a video about it equaling -1/12.

This is definitely the best Numberphile video. Mathematics is beautiful but the way in which maths is taught in classrooms around the world makes it boring and disinteresting. Thanks to videos like these , channels like Numberphile and applications like Mathematicia, Wolfram Alpha and Matlab, learning maths becomes exciting.

Jeremy J. I am aware of how the behaviour of the Riemann Zeta Function relates to Prime Numbers, because it is equivalent to an infinite product function of all Prime Numbers. Also, the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to another conjecture that states the error of the Prime Counting Function has a definite limit. However, I'm not sure how the non-trivial zeros are related to it.

When Edward used analytical continuation and out popped -1/12 where infinity was supposed to be, it felt like magic. I remember watching Numberphile’s -1/12 video and thinking that Ramanujan’s proof was not meaningful. This was super beautiful and Edward made the explanation entertaining!

@@davip116 There are two ways to right the riemann formula. Either by saying (1/n) + (1/n^2) + ... OR by plugging it into a sigma sum. The sigma sum is what gives -1/12, while just writing the infinite sequence does not.

Very interesting. I'm currently studying Complex Analysis right now. Since I found it so similar to Vector Calculus, I'm constantly going back to it to find the corresponding arithmetic operations between the two. I'm excited to find out that my current studies are approaching the Riemann Zeta function, and that it plays an important role in the distribution of prime numbers. Thank you for your video!
