It's also remarkable that the video length = 2pi
And 2pi (also known as tau) was almost used as the constant. It was by chance that pi = 3.14... and not 6.28... If you think about it, it would make much more sense for pi to be equal to 6.28. In this scenario, C = R*pi', and not C = R*2*pi. It would be more elegant.
OMG! that's too funny!
@@yanfranca8382 On the other hand when using the diameter instead of the radius the circumference is just d*pi. That is good for practical work since measuring the diameter is easier than measuring the radius.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can tell that he really loves his work.
Yes clear as day.
The length of the video is 2π
Amazing 😂
Please explain
Actually not, despite the fact that 2π equals 6.28 the whereas the video is 6:29. Hence, it can not be approximated to 6.29. However, the length of the video is 6:29 and not 6.29, as it is shows a relative notation of time but with 2 different unit of measurement, have a nice day!
@@g57r42Actually, you may have been misinformed. The actual length of the video is 6.28, which is a multiple of π's approximation. Have a great week!
Wow
Cedric is always worth hearing. Remarkable man 👍
I could listen to this Professor speak about maths all day long. Very charismatic,
He’s the proud of our country in France, he’s very famous for having won the title of “Médaillé Field » in 2010 which is incredible, he studied maths in the best schools of France and got many diplomas, I would so much like to meet him !
He writes on board elegantly
Probably has hagoromo chalk
Didn't get that far. Hand gestures already too annoying.
I thought the same
mathematicians are naturally drawn to such elegance.
that circle he draws -- counter clockwise -- at 1:15 is exquisite ... and extra style points for that large, rich blue "tie" he's wearing
How can you not love this guy.
I dont
dresses like a low self awareness dork
@@jcjc5702 😆😆😆
@@jcjc5702then you don’t like him. Smart for sure..
@@jcjc5702He’s a dork who has won the Field Medal. I think that gives him the right to dress any way he wants. Besides his enthusiasm for talking about mathematics is terrific.
@@jcjc5702you comment like a low emotional intelligence dork
I'm a simple learner ... I see prof. Villani, i watch the video 'til the end
Absolutely
Isn’t he the dude that got the medal for a result on the fluid equation? I read his book on it and it was a very interesting read.
Prof. Villani's Explanation of pi is the best one I have encountered even for a non-math expert like me. Thank you Professor.
Fiers d’avoir Cédric Villani en France ! Quel mathématicien d’exception !
Excellent ! Congratulations for the Fields medal.
Love this guy. So brilliant yet relatable.
Perfect! Video is 6:28 long!
Yep, fully circled!
First thing I’ve noticed, even though for some reason it reads 6:29 here.
Thank you Prof. Villani
Love this explanation of Pi. Professor Cedric Villani is my favorite mathematician.
humble guy
Thank you for that !.. We love you guys !
He talks with such passion, I love him ❤❤❤
Very clearly explained and with a lot of enthusiasm.
What a delightful class about pi!
Fascinating! What an answer to a simple question. Thank you.
I love his enthusiasm and would love to take a course (any mathematics course) from him!
well that certainly put a smile on my face
thanks for the video
Why does everyone forget that Euler’s identity also uses the four basic operators: addition, multiplication, exponentiation, and equality?
This video is about pi, not about Eulers identity.
Who forgot? It's not about operators.
this guy is fantastic
Excellent.
I am sure people got lost the first second he tried to explain 2*pi*r but his r looks exactly like a pi
Excellent, I appreciate His initiative feeling regarding that Five appearing in that.
There is some limitations to explain this through Language even though the Professor trieying for some thing to understand that 👍
Love you man❤
The integral of the Cauchy Distribution f(x) = 1/(1 + x^2) also evaluates to pi, when integrated from minus infinity to plus infinity.
😮
Excellent video.
To anyone out there who doesn't already own a copy, I would recommend Cedric's book, "Birth of a Theorem." One of the most exciting and inspiring mathematical reads I've come across. (And he looks particularly dashing on the cover, too!) Quite a guy. 👍
this dude is my inspiration
I love this guy.
He is good I wud like to listen to him next time 😊
Pi is irrational, transcendental, universal, emblematic constant and the equation that relates the constants 0,1,pi,e and i is really fascinating as it relates constants with different historical background. Mathematicians do mathematics primarily for its beauty and not for the applications their works may have, as do painters, musicians and other artists.
Mathematicians have as many reasons for doing their subject as any other subject, including money.
Thanks
Very cool style.
Amazing to listen to,however I didn’t understand a word he said never mind getting the concept. But still fascinating to listen to these ideas.
So interesting.
The key thing I learned from this video is that I could have just been using 22/7 all these years. It's close. Pi is 99.95% of 22/7.
Great guy
I like how the Frenchman holds the chalk like a cigarette 😆
I like the way of writing 1 of Europeans that is the real 1 , not like Americans that write it like a letter l, it doesn't make sense really
this how genius looks like :)
Every scientist should be this charismatic
All of this using base 10
Maths with base 16 instead, where Pi is an full number are very interesting.
3 Blue 1 Brown just did a video on why Pi is in e^(-x^2).
π also appears in the probability density function of the normal distribution.
Yeah, he showed that with the integral.
Although rough in facial appearance, he dresses like a distinct gentleman … ❤
Sehr gut
He loves his job
I envy all math geniuses.
Never knew Jordan Schlansky was a secret mathematician
Firstly thought it’s longhair Savateev😂
Pi is not constant because if you measure various pipes use around the home then it prove that pipe is not constant but change with size of radius
It’s all in the tie.
Im 51 and born on March 14th. Why have I just heard that it is PI day?
wow....his love for pi is like pi it self...everblasting....
it's not possible for 2.7 raised to any power to be less than 0 so how can e raised to ipie be -1?
e^{pi*i} = -1. The number e is not raised to a real number. i = sqrt{-1} which is not a real number.
@@Andrew-kf4qp Artificial
Is there world e day ? e is also very interesting number.
This video made me eat humble pi.
Obsession with prizes . This man is actually called -Fields-Medal-Winner-Cedric-Villani.
who left mini macron's government in the nick of time.
Thank you for this video.
When you're talking about PI, please do not write 'r' like 77 (like pi)
Please.
"mysteryes fo Pi" my god...
PI is an old Egyptian invention.
If you divide the circumference of the base of the pyramid by its height the result is 2 pi
He should use another font for his "r".
pi number is magic number.
Pi is also very delicious.
From the explanation and all the examples, I got the feeling that pi has a characteristic of something "full circle" with "infinity inside it".
The nature of π is TOPOLOGICAL.
Ramanujan had a formuls giving the particular decimal place value of pi
I would love to take a class taught by him.
I don’t think it’s possible to prove that a perfect circle, a perfect sphere exists where the radius must therefore be of equal length at every point. There must be some degree of imperfections within everything. Infinity is the reason why.
Is this the new math?
No, its basic math.
his face is also similar to Pi
Misleading title: there are no mysteries about pi. All these formulas can be shown to be related so a circle.
He speaks with a lot of enthusiasm, but in truth the material he covers here is just standard stuff that is covered in countless UA-cam videos and in standard math classes at, say, introductory college level.
It’s a news segment
Of course, but this video is for general public.
Yea because he is not giving a lecture here. The interviewer probably already told him that this will only be a short interview and he provided good information for the average guy who is not much aware of pi
A genius should also be able to explain the basics, without diverging into complex but obscure details to show off how smart he really is.
The vampire mathematician.
He should have talked for longer.
It is interesting that you either love math or you hate it. There is no middle ground.
Hi
Prof you are wrong. Zero, 0 is not a number for nothing or denoting nothing. 0 is also a tangible quantity eg. 10, 10001 etc.
Esse assunto, é a tarefa de casa que o professor de Leibniz lhe deu 1no infinito = 2
لحد نصد الفديو كنت فاهم وراهة تاهة الامور مني 😐
At thé beg we laughed lot aboutthe fameuse Pi:3,14 from where?

Mathematicians > If this a circle
Physicians >its a ring 👽👽
Pi is a signature of Allah creator of the seen and the unseen
The Lady Gaga of mathematics.
Pass😂
He only won because he’s cute.
To be honest,opposed to above complementary comments,I don’t think it is a so good introduction to the roles and mysteries about pi in maths,such as how the ancient guys deduced the formula for the circumstantial length of a circle containing pi etc.Welcome to debate.
he gave a pretty decent overview of the places pi appeared throughout the history of mathematics, what you say happened only in the beggining of it
@@Martykun36 Thanks for weighing in.Of course I know what Field medalist means for mathematics,but what my point is that I do not think he profoundly unravelled why pi was such weirdly and mysteriously ubiquitous in many of famous formulas ,which is what I am curious about,His explainations ,at least in my opinion,was just to present some well-known facts but not why,Welcome more discussions about this fascinating topic.By the way,I am a surgeon who have great interest in Math.
Everyone knows such basic information
Should have asked reporter what he understood
This guy once stole Woody's girlfriend.
PSALM 19.
1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard................... F=MA, E=mc^2 , ( e)^ i*pi +1= 0 , .....

Qu'est ce que je peux vous dire concernant ces membres irrationnels?🙄
Et bien, ces memebres doivent exister mais en même temps ils n'existent pas!🙄
Ou plutôt ils refusent de se dévoiler avec precision et exactitude pour qu'on puisse les voir!🙄
Ils sont tout simplement les membres de Dieu!🙄
Des membres qui nous disent et si Dieu n'existait pas pourquoi nous existerons?🍋👻😁😂🤣
Tell us something that we don't know??
