For mathematics PhD, if you can propose an original proof of a famous problem, which can be really short, you are actually contributing more than most math PhD. My math thesis has hundreds of pages, but i know what I did is just applying known methods to some new problems.
George E. Smith, who won the 2009 Nobel prize in physics for the invention of the CCD, wrote a phd thesis that were only 7 or 8 pages long. He simply rewrote an already published paper as a thesis and that was it.
I loved this video, Andy! 🎉😊I'm not sure if this is true but they say that in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, someone's PhD thesis was about 13 pages and this person won the Gold Medal 🏅
Tbf every mathematician I’ve met, the goals always seems to make the equation as simple and short as possible. Guess their ideal thesis would be as short as possible!
PhD dissertation of Samson Kutateladze ( a Soviet heat physicist and hydrodynamist) is extremely short. Cite from autobiography:“It was a somewhat extended article published in JETP (Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics) and devoted to a hydrodynamic model of heat transfer crises during boiling. The defense protocol turned out to be thicker than the dissertation itself, although the vote was unanimous…. I dare to think that at present it is one of the main ones in the theory of convective heat transfer during phase transitions. One of its important postulates is the analogy between the hydrodynamics of boiling and cold bubbling.” the mentioned article is only half a page however it is very fundamental.
The actual shortest PhD thesis EVER is titled: "How to Use ChatGPT to Abbreviate the Longest PhD Thesis EVER." It only has one reference and one example.
some thesis in my field (statistical genetics) are also very short, it's common to just use a paper or papers you published in your thesis. I guess this is similar to other fields.
I need some advice. I would have had a 4.0 GPA, but I experienced unfair events which I had no control of. I will graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a Specialization in Law Enforcement. I would like to go to a prestigious University, but my GPA is 3.31. What are my options?

Lovely video on the shortest Ph.D. Thesis. Thank you for sharing. Quite inspiring.
Now we need a one sentence humanities PhD
Great.
Next video the shortes journal articles ever, please.

John Nash was a few more pages, but he did get a Nobel prize.

Thanks for sharing!...This is so lovely to watch.
Very interesting 👌🏻 love this

It doesn't surprise these are all math thesis. These are all long for a math proof, but short for a journal article.
Mi deh yah first!!
Interesting 😊
I googled why I have orange in my beard and the third result was your other channel I didn't know you had which has some interesting stuff.
Great

I really love FORUMLAs.

Forumlas?
Hy I really like your videos I need help about phd in Australia will u help me personally I will be very thankful to you
But isn't the shorter the better? If a problem is solved in less than 15 page , i think its more efficient
John Nash - I think his was shorter
If only I am good at math :(
could i do a really short thesis for a phd in engineering? it's pretty similar to maths
👍
These are fun. Reminds me of "The unsuccessful self-treatment of a case of “writer's block”"
