It is so cool to watch people getting extremely excited about things. I would certainly get enamored by the experience of seeing the manuscript, but to someone like Mr. (Dr. ?) Strogatz who has based a large part of his life on the things first published in that book, it must have been an amazing experience for him.
I'm surprised that they're not wearing gloves when touching the pages of these manuscripts. And will historians a few hundred years from now have anything to hold and look at with wonder from our time as everything is going to digital format? At least Brady will have all that brown paper from his episodes to preserve for posterity!
This was absolutely STUNNING!!! Professor Strogatz excitement and intensity is unreal. He is the real deal. As a calculus student myself, this was amazing and addicting to experience.
I think Newton wasn't too worried about sharing his work because he was so enraptured by his recent findings, I can imagine stumbling into the magic of calculus and not thinking of much else. Even as a student of mathematics hundreds of years later I am still quite taken by the wonder of it all and I can only imagine what it must of been like for Sir Isaac
I don’t think this is actually accurate. All the historical evidence shows how very peculiar Newton was and the amount of time he spent on different subjects. Mathematics and physics were very far down the list. Most of his time and private writings were dedicated to other intellectual pursuits such as alchemy and mostly biblical prophecy.
It is interesting that you mention he is using summations. Negative binomial is summation. So no surprise he invented it. First step in derivative is binomial expansion.
As to why Newton didn't initially submit his work to the Royal Society. Keith offered the possibility that was mainly Newton being adverse to conflict. Inevitably there would be pushback, including pushback from men with a lower level of understanding, which Newton would be loathe to deal with. There is a problem with that suggestion, and the evidence for that is at the very start of the video. By the time Newton was president of the Royal Society Newton conducted an ardent behind-the-curtains campaign to establisch himself as the only developer of Calculus, and opposing the view that Leibniz had independently developed Calculus. For Newton's mindset I endorse the view that he was extremely possessive. When talking to fellow scholars Newton could not resist the temptation to demonstrate the extent of his abilities, but at the same time his predominent mindset, it appears, was to think of his discoveries as personal possessions. This would explain why later in life Newton would be so vindictive. Even though early in life Newton had not published any of his Calculus, he still went on a campaign agains Leibniz, asserting priority.
Well calculus was actually discovered 200 years before Newton or Leibniz was even born. This discovery was made in India more precisely in the preasent day state of Kerela by the researchers of the Kerela school of Mathematics at that time. Now don't get me wrong here I am not saying that Newton copied this work by the Indians, no, but what I am saying is that the scientific advancements in ancient India were far more advanced than the scientific advancements of Europe at that time and unfortunately these works are not known by many people these days as compared to the Western works.
Seems like Newton was quite an asshole. I'm also not convinced about him being the "inventor". First of all, Leibniz is without a doubt inventor of the notation. Secondly, I have invented internet, hypersonic weapons and cure for cancer. I am just not choosing to present it to the public. And I'm not even calling Newton a liar. Simply put, if you have any interest in being recognized as an inventor of anything, the most basic concept is to present it to the public. You don't have to be genius to understand that.
Oh my gosh, Mr. Strogatz’s excitement is heart warming.
I _FEEL_ Steven Strogatz' excitement!!
Newton: it is my belief I invented calculus and here are my proofs
Jury (also Newton): oh my you're correct
Judge (also Newton): say no more
Lol
I am the senate
This is such a great formula, showing professors the crown jewels of their field. Could be a series on itself. I’d love it!

Nim plays you should check out Brady’s Objecivity YT channel.
It WAS an amazing experience!!
Brady, objectivity fans would love to hear about this as well. Newton + Keith + Calculus = fun!
Agreed, I clicked by chance without knowing Keith was in it, objectivity would love this.

Yes! I was so excited for this podcast! STEVE IS SO CUTE OMG
Numberphile podcast is a masterpiece I tell you! It’s really like a diamond in the world of podcasting.
This was absolutely STUNNING!!! Professor Strogatz excitement and intensity is unreal. He is the real deal. As a calculus student myself, this was amazing and addicting to experience.
KEITH!!!!!!! why is he not in the title? Fucking legend.
how funny, I just finished the podcast as I got back from work and here's the bonus footage.
Newton's interest in infinite series looks forward to the current tool for solving differential equations by using perturbation methods.
3:32 Here come the waterworks! I love Steven, he's so endearing ❤
Professor Strogatz fanboying lol! Crazy how recognizable notation is even after almost 500 years.
Wonderful podcast, wonderful video, wonderful guy
just astounding
These books are so fascinating.
Why arn't these people using gloves to handle these priceless documents!

This video is wonderful and still the funniest part of it is the 6 "dislikes", in the moment I'm writing.
0:20 - 0:27 Kiss without makeup
Newton dabled with spectra but new bothered to look it through a magnifying glass. So how curiouous was he?
Prime time 😏

It makes me nervous they are not using gloves.

Wethouder Hekking!
Archimedes was at the beginning of Calculus.
Ya
Keeeeiiiiith!!!! Ahem
😎
all smart people had/have long noses ...prove me wrong
Gaston Julia literally had no nose
Fourier was voldemort
I invented Calculus last year. Imagine how gutted I was when I saw this video.

This guy clearly has not read the Principia.
It is actually a really interesting and fairly easy read, if you have a physics degree.
Best case scenario is that is you are a troll. And that case is very bad. Shame on you.
Wtf are u srs? Its such a difficult book to read even for physicists and mathematicians.
@@maxwellsequation4887 I should have said "surprisingly easy to read".
The language is fairly modern, and the subject matter is taught in high school.
