- An incredibly brief history of Henri Poincaré! Per usual, there's not much math in this video, so just a heads up in the event you expect math-heavy.
Trying something new with the speed. I output the video at 1.25x my original recording, so if my voice sounds too strange, let me know!
Please forgive my pronunciations. French is especially difficult for me...

Thank you very much for the high quality content. This motivates me while i'm at college.
My favorite mathematician, I loved your video!
I don't think you sound like a robot and I liked the piano.
Thank you for this great video! Keep them coming :D Also I wanted to ask you how you go about studying up for these video? And if you have any book recommendations out of the ones you mention in this and other videos? Thanks again!
I make a draft doc containing info from the sources and then piece everything together in a cohesive script, filling in extra detail as needed if it wasn't initially clear in my notes (by researching deeper, of course!). I typically use online sources (like wiki, famousscientists, st-andrews) for the info.
At least from this video, I'd recommend The Value of Science. Poincare's views were super interesting.
in France l'École Polytechnique is considered as the best french engineering school : it is very prestigious
though there's another university called ENS ( École Nationale Supérieure ) more focused on research where more specialised brilliant students ( such as in mathematics ) go to
the best one of the ENS's schools is ENS ULM
Your pronounciation of french words is funny but good :D You can make a video on Noether that'd be great !
These brief histories are very informative.
I love math but I don't want to spend a lot of time on any one mathematician.
I'm fascinated how these men are solving problems and I don't even understand what the problem is.
For foreign names I suggest using the conventional English pronunciation.
We used to smile whenever the prof mentioned "Rudolf Lipschitz".
Great job. Clearly explained his contributions and the impact they had in math and science in general. It would be fantastic if you could do the same for Robert Clerk Maxwells.
Do you take suggestions? :p If so, I would like to suggest Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. If you ever need any help doing this stuff, be sure to let us know. I'm sure some of the people watching would be happy to help, I know I would! I've been a part of communal initiatives like that before. We could set up a discord or something like it. Anyway, thank you for great content.
I've added Leibniz to my backlog. Surprisingly, I'd not added him or Newton. I simply had "Leinbiz-Newton battle" as an idea for a video...
In regard to help, right now I'm okay, but I can certainly see myself needing some as the channel grows. I will definitely be keeping a discord in mind. I appreciate the offer of hands :)
@@moderndaymath I found Kollerstom's documented history on this interesting
The man who should have gotten credit for the theory of relativity.
Thanks a lot. All great man are very calm and humble.
fascinating. And lovely Fauré music (the Ballade op 19) in the background.
amazing video
this guy is a beast
Another great example of how successful an ADD person can be when they are also gifted with higher intelligence. Though it is not always the case, I have noticed that ADD personalities tend to be visual thinkers as well. With topology being the greatest playground of all for exercising and testing the limits of ones ability to work out visual/dimensional problems. And the frontiers of science and mathematics providing endless and varied unsolved mysteries to grab the attention of the ADD puzzle-solving mind....
The bee connection actually provides a comically perfect analogy, as in more recent times there was a study demonstrating ADD behavior in honeybees. Most worker bees will transport resources from one area until they are depleted and then stay at the hive unemployed, or return to the same depleted area relentlessly without success. While a smaller demographic of the worker population bumbles around the world not collecting resources and generally disliked by their peers. Until they stumble across a new area of bountiful bee-resources and head back to the hive to do a little dance alerting everyone else (haters included) to the new discovery, with the dance including the directions for finding it... And they are finally celebrated and loved by their comrades until the shine wears off and they are again seen as lazy wandering pointless adventure seekers blowing wherever the wind takes them.
@@daltanionwaves Would you say that ADHD and ADD produce similar levels of exceptional performance in academic research or is the "hyperactivity" a drawback for the ADHD mind?
@@calebmaths6731it all depends on the individual man
Pkincare didn't develop general relativity, he did work that was related to special relativity. Although he was a great, his work there, compared with Einstein, was rather clumsy, and missed the mark, even after Einstein's publication, he continues to not quite understand the physics, i.e., the dissolution of universal time and simultaneity. That is why a patent clerk, rather than a renowned mathematician, was the creator of special relativity.
Thanks for the great profile. Suggestion: Alter, art, slow your pace of delivery for more appeal.
Classical music adds to the lecture so beautifully that I even can't imagine it without those sounds of piano.
Logic limits ideas. By Henri Poincare 6:20
Lol the accent is on point.
i really wonder how many fields medal this guy could have won.
Which musicians and compositions are used in this video?
The piece is Gabriel Fauré - Ballade Op. 19
@@moderndaymath Thank you, and also for these excellent videos.
Fascinating stuff, but could you make the background music a bit quieter in future videos? It's very distracting from your words.
Thank you for continuing this series! BTW, it seems you speak faster. Did you speed up your voice? If so, could you please do not do it: anyone can increase the speed if needed, but slowing down the speed does not sound good. Thanks again :-)
Oops, I've read the video description. Yes, please use the normal speed :-)
yeah next video I upload will def be at regular speed. Wanted to see what people thought about it being 1.25x off the bat
Thank you!
6:01 looks like he was also a pioneer at giving TedTalks. Add that to his list!
Genuine author of the relativity theory. The speaker pretends to hide the role of Poincare as great physicist reducing him to just mathematician.
This applies to all your videos: the music is TOO LOUD and too distracting.
Classical ballades like these were never meant to be talked over - the dynamic range is too great and they have too much presence in the vocal range.
At 8:00, I would reduce the volume by ~50%. You may want to put a slow-response compressor on the music so the louder parts are reduced more than the already-quiet parts.
Henri Poincare
(1854-1912)
Very good but it is hard to hear you speak. The audio is low and the music doesn't help. Still enjoyed the video!
Interesting - but please turn the music down.
We make people great, but they are just simple human beings.
Music is distracting
Oonree poncareeeeè
I really like your videos, but please! Reduce the volume of the classical music. It's overwhelming your voice-over.
E= mc2 should be called Poincare -Einstein equation .give some respect to other scientists also
Einstein was a complete fraud he was a plagiarist wgo copied from poincare and others people are brainwashed
Lorentz too
It should be called Lorentz-Poincaré theory of relativity.
Einstein was a fraud, his wife did all the math for him
Very interesting but the music is irritating.
Logic is only as good as the last accepted crazy idea
Poincare vs Einstein
Poincare easy win and genuine.
Einstein, literally stole ideas from him!
Oh good to see him receiving credit after Einstein defrauded society and took credit for all his work.
I don't rate Einstein much. This guy however is very fascinating the huge range of things especially in mathematics that he discovered. Incredible man
@@Englishsea24 yeah he definitely did. Are you familiar with the work of Ken Wheeler and magnetism? Fascinating research, especially his work with ferro cells. Check out his video on UA-cam 'The Deepest Secrets of Magnetism, first time explained & Center of Light at the Interia Plane' . Explains everything in the universe...black holes, the tree of life, the lotus of creation ( Hinduism ) , torus fields etc.
Why french people are so good in math?
Good questions. They also have 15 Field medals and just at École Polytechnique, they had Cauchy, Cholesky, Coriolis, Fresnel, Mandelbrot, Navier, Poincaré and Poisson.
Loose the background music !
Might I suggest that the commentator not use the pronunciation ponkaray but. Instead look up its true pronunciation in French . Merci, et à votre santé.
As an MBTI personality Poincare was likely and INTJ why people type him as an INFJ when he and Nietzche are very similar as creative genius in attitude, habits, and general ways of thinking and acting is beyond me. He's has less in common with Wittgenstein or Ramanujan two creative geniuses that are likely INFJ.
Shut up
His criticism towards Cantor's ideas doesn't give him a good chance on being infj. Also his favourite composer was anti-semetic and a thinker.
His aptitude for engineering investigations suggests Te. And early speech in infancy (9 months), suggests he was a thinker. Children who speak early are usually thinkers, because they use their executive function prodigiously.
These are some personal thoughts on why he's not likely infj.
Bro said poincarar. You gotta learn how to pronounce this dudes name it’s killing me
ua-cam.com/video/qSvh7xZikgg/v-deo.html
Einstein stole from him
its called building upon knowledge
He should give it back?
Why the piano music? Aaaagh stop it
Imagine going to a lecture and there is a pianist playing Rachmaninov over the talk. FFS
@@gavtoye9605 it is the most civilized kind of music~, but of course.
Fauré is the very epitome of civilsation! Perhaps too good as background?!@@JosephStalin-yk2hd
