  • In this Oxford Mathematics 4th year student lecture, Fields Medallist James Maynard gives an overview of some of the key results of the course, and proves some motivational results about primes.
    You can watch many other student lectures via our main Student Lectures playlist (also check out specific student lectures playlists): • Student Lectures - All...
    All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor in pairs to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.

    Not only is Maynard a great researcher, but from what I can tell from this video, he seems to be a great lecturer as well.

    During a chat with a different professor at end of their lecture, I realised that some previous lecturer had forgotten to wipe off some sections of their lectures from the whiteboard at the end. The professor said 'we'll leave it up for the lecturer to remove it tomorrow', then we realised that it was Prof. Maynard's writing and proceeded to clear it up ourselves

      No, just one more lecture to give a flavour of the topic. We do have some full courses among our 100+ student lectures that we have made available and will increase the number of full courses in future.

    At 20:30 I did not understand what happened with the denominators. We can't just replace them all with log(x) and use a geometric series formula, because that would make the terms smaller, not larger. We can't replace them all with the smallest denominator and roll it into the constant because the denominators are tending to 0. I thought we could switch to a proof by induction, so we would only have to show D n / log(n) + C (n/2) / log(n/2)

      Remember that Cx/ln(x) is an upper bound, not an exact value of the sum. I believe the logic is as follows:
      x/ln(x) is strictly increasing for x > e, so for n >= 3, n/ln(n) < 2n/ln(2n). With this in mind, we can bound all the terms for x/k >=3 above by x/ln(x), and the case of x/k < 3 is taken care of by simply adding 3 to include the prime numbers 2, 3 and 5 (as 2x/k = 3 + #{k >= 2 : x/k >= 3} as x/ln(x) > 1 for x > 1. We can assume x > e as we care about the values of \pi(x) for large x.

      @felix.henson I don't understand this part of your comment: "With this in mind, we can bound all the terms for x/k >=3 above by x/ln(x)". What's k? I do agree that n/ln(n) < 2n/ln(2n) but how is it useful here? Sure, we could bound the terms like (x/2)/ln(x/2) by x/ln(x) but the result would be a sum of log_2(x) copies of x/ln(x) so you'd get an upper bound like C*x in the end, instead of C*x/log(x).

    Is there any one who can help solve this problem, even my teacher is having problem with it , “given that h(x)=integral of ((f’(x)x-f(x))/x^2) , where 2h(2)=f(2)+4 and f(-1)=5 , what is the value of h’(-1) ?
    There are some steps that i have done, h(x)=f(x)/x+C and i found the value of C which is 2, thus h(x)=f(x)/x+2 and h(-1)=-3 , now how can i find the value of h’(-1) ?
    Appreciate your help

    I can't believe what a mess this lecture is:
    1. At the beginning be mentions "analytic number theory" and doesn't define 'analytic'
    2. Then he erases 'analytic' and just says that we use 'analysis' as a tool, yet he implies that analysis does not belong to Number Theory.....this is complete nonsense. Number Theory is wholly a part of analysis.
    The definition of 'analytic' is that we can find exact differentials and then form them into a conservation equation using Mdy + Ndx = 0. Then we can integrate these for a solution, usually a Hamiltonian
    This is the 'starting point' of "analytic number theory".....which he obviously does not understand

      Pure mathematics is about understanding the universe we live in, not helping our daily lives. However, you're using prime numbers and number theory every time you make a secure transaction online since it's the basis of modern cryptography. If the Riemann hypothesis is solved it could change that. Pure mathematics has a habit of finding practical applications eventually.

      A matemática básica é p=np divisão no sentido anti-horário junto com toda estrutura do diagrama dos números batizados como hindu-arábicos. ➕ a conjectura que é sim um teorema de goldbach. A diferença que ele e o resto dos matemáticos não aprenderam a dividir pelo menos ➖ o número 0 zero no sentido anti-horário com seus divisores e quocientes no infinito. E o grande problema não é o infinito do zero, mas sim o que vêm depois do seu infinito.
