The way he talked about math is the same as how I feel about math. I really wish our teachers had the same thoughts as him! Amazing human he is! ✨

A very enlightening talk - beautifully delivered. My grand son asked me, “What do mathematicians do?” I didn’t have a good answer. I do now. Thank you.

Math is for understanding. Understanding is beautiful. Therefore math is for beauty. This may be the most profound proof I've ever written.

Ignorance is bliss too. Understanding isn't always necessary for something to be beautiful. Why I might get emotional over art or music cannot be explained scientifically or mathematically.

Looking at this for the third time. I can say with total sincerity that I never experienced that "oh" moment that Mr Brown is taking about. Only years of torment, with periods of boredom punctuated by moments of panic and fear. The reason for boredom was simple: if you don't understand what the teacher is sayng, you stop listening and wait for it to be over. Since school I have had a career as a journalist. I have avoided maths, apart from a few episodes when I tried to understand a point in maths, out of curiosity. Friends have tried to help me. One gave up after six weeks of exchanging emails and messages. She said she couldn't help because she didn't understand how my mind works. I said that it was reciprocal. One thing that has helped is the knowledge that many people feel the same way

Awesome stuff! If anyone needs a math tutor of any grade level up to undergraduate mathematics reply to this comment. Algebra. Geometry. Statistics. Calculus. Fourier Series. Trigonometry. SAT/ACT test prep. etc. While in high school I volunteered at a nearby community college tutoring college students. Now that I am a math major in college I was promoted to Head math tutor and I give advice to other tutors to help improve the learning experience for both the student and tutor.

If magic, or a branch of magic was controlled by math, and I don't just mean 1 to 10. I'm talking very beginning math. 1 and 2 math. Just as you're trying to decide what the value of Hand, or Fingers/Toes/Foot/Legs/Arms/Head/Body/and even 'I' is on up... As though you were following magic based on math as math itself evolved... What would that be like? Why? It's a question I've been asking myself for a while now. If magic was based on "Blank" Discipline, what would that be like?

It is said by the most ancient of mathematicians (early Egyptians for example) that mathematics was designed and given to humans by a god of wisdom, music, art, and mathematics, named Thoth. I just think that's a fascinating mythological introduction to all of the things we can tie mathematics too.

Being nit picky doesn't mean your listening or have failed to understand...I love it when I see something that people label as "SHIT"..because if you look at it objectively, their may be a profound truth spoken or unspoken beneath it...for instance just this morning I watched something a fee years old about the white van speaker scam where these guys would sell you crap electronics from China for way too much money..but what is funny is that although made cheaply in China the reality is today people buy this cheap stuff at Walmart for similar prices and they know it comes from China..the scams where only a sign of what was to come..but you couldn't of seen that if you simply labeled it a scam and a fraud and closed the door of inquiry to it....be intelligent enough to keep your mind open to all that exists..it all has purpose
