    Clio you were my uni lecturer at Sydney Uni 16 years ago. Thanks for the laughs, it was really fun going to every class, and this video is just a reminder of how easily a student can engage when the teacher knows how to connect with the audience.

    My immediate impression of Dr Clio Cresswell is that she - unlike so many people who deliver otherwise wonderful TED talks - is in possession of comic timing. The jokes aren't great, but the timing is on and that is so much better than the thousands of other TED talks when the timing is off, even if the jokes are on.
    Others might say this about many people who deliver these talks, but she is the first person who I look at and think "Whatever you had chosen to do, you would've been brilliant at it."

    I really wish she would have gone more into detail about some of the actual variables within those equations, at least in a cursory manner, rather than just going on about math being cool. I don't expect a full proof of the male hormone equation, but it would have been nice to get at least a quick run-through of what these equations actually mean in a more holistic sense.

    I love how Clio touched on what I go through every day. I manage a large database with an interface that slightly changes with every project. I try to explain to people that you need the "same" data for each point but they can't seem to realise that it is EXACTLY the same. Not just like, not almost the same, EXACTLY. Then I try to explain it and I get a robot dance with the quoting "Does not compute". Shits me up the wall.

      @MrWnw 4 роки тому +2

      This has an easy answer. (I have a degree in physics and did teaching too, this is a pattern I observed)
      Math and physics are difficult (she touches on why in her talk) => only 'clever' people can understand it - bcs they have more (than you) abstract, logical or mathematical thinking => they lack the EQ, social, creative thinking + they don't see why you don't understand it => they don't have the ability to explain well or they don't explain math and physics very well
      Simple as that; the more clever the professor, the harder is to understand him. I see it on myself too.
      The other point is the best (possible) teachers don't stay in education, bcs going into research or private sector brings them more money or value... Do you think she is a teacher? Of course not, she is working on her research and once in a year makes a science-pop presentation.

  • @TPsolar1
    @TPsolar1 10 років тому +35

    Great presentation. It gives you a flavour of how math can explain the world we live in. I don't think it would help for her to give us the meaning of each symbol as it would need deeper explaination. It is supposed to stimulate to the point that we look them up ourselves which is a better way to learn about such an intricate subject.
    Love the SHOES!

      I wasn't reducing her to her hair colour. I just mentioned it. And she's making ludicrous claims in the name of feminism, and women's bitterness. If she's a professor, then she should know better, and have more sense. She's just taking a prurient subject and trying to get laughs. And all the women and manginas gladly oblige. Real tabloid stuff.

    For the hyper-critical:
    1. She presented the 'forest/tree':'love/sex' metaphor to show innovative ways to self-motivate in particular tasks.
    2.She discussed mathematical relationships that may inspire future behavioral mathematicians (e.g. brain and testosterone production cycles, Safe TB treatments)
    3. She described the importance of the linguistic link between observation, internalization, and linguistic expression as it relates to causality.
    Not a bad talk.

      I have always loved math because it is so exact, 2+2 is always 4, whereas in "English" even the phonics of our alphabet is perverse. Math is fun because it is like solving puzzles or riddles, and the answer you arrive at is either correct or not, that doesn't change. As for you second statement, I am learning that principle through experience. I am married to a chronic victim whose problems are always someone else's fault and any error made is a personal attack meant to kill her chance for happiness. I want to see her happy, but obviously she doesn't, so I quit.

I also studied amercican mathematics 'cause of an english option i did, and it was so much easier to resolve. So i think that, depending from the country you'r from, math will be easy or not because of the way of thinking and the culture of that country.
