      Yeah...I like that this is the message he chose to send with his 15 minutes. It's so important and so true (I'm also a mathematician). The math culture sometimes pretends this isn't the case, and it scares newcomers off.

    Today I had a really rough Mathematical Physics exam. I didn't do well and studying 30 hours in 2 days took a toll on me. Coming home and finding this video on my UA-cam recommendation was a welcome release. You are a beautiful man, professor, and someday I want to work in your institution, if only I can scrape through my undergrad Physics degree.

    There are a lot of things I like about this video - the peace that Hugo seems to have with not knowing everything, even though he's driven to discover more, as well as his ability to recognise that family is important, to see the positives in re-allocating time for family ("I have less time for maths, but I'm better at it"). Sometimes change isn't easy and people struggle re-allocating time from work (especially work recognised as very important and interesting) to other important aspects, & especially when they've got used to dedicating their life to work during the time they've been single. Hugo is a true role model 😌Congrats on the medal, Hugo!

    Very true. Making mistakes is never to be ashamed of, especially in sciences, because mistakes show us the fault in our analogy and once we realise it, it corrects our logic which latter helps us to solve other problems with right analogy.

    I think it would be great if mathematicians talk longer about the application of their works like he did in this video from 2:00 to 5:00.
    Another question about percolation theory in neuroscience. Perhaps such theory could take over the "grandmother neuron" paradigm which has failed in neuroscience. Considering each neuron like dipole and percolate a group of such neuron to see if it can reproduce a typical brain's behaviour like a thought, or the image of an object.

    • @geometerfpv2804
      @geometerfpv2804 10 місяців тому +2

      Why does math have to have applications? Math at this level almost never does. Scientists use properties that seem to be there in practice even if it isn't yet proved they already exist, and that's fine.
      Math is a much, much bigger subject than the part of it that enables engineering in science. The mathematicians that win fields medals are typically doing things that are extremely abstract. They make up little anecdotes about "application" because laypeople constantly ask about that, but they are "pure" mathematicians: people who do math for its own sake. Maybe it will be the foundation of some application 100 years from now, or maybe not. Nobody had applications in mind over the hundreds of years that higher dimensional geometry was developed...and then one day it just happened to be the perfect setting for general relativity. We could never know that in advance, and if we hadn't explored this geometry for its own sake, it wouldn't have been there for Einstein.
      Philosophy is another academic study that we find as a society despite it not being directed at applications. The quest for knowledge justifies itself: it's an inherent human longing.
      Re: percolation, it doesn't make sense to reason about it until you look up the mathematical definition of percolation. Else you are just imagining something based on the English meaning of the term that probably has little to do with the mathematical meaning.
