The Secret Mathematicians - Professor Marcus du Sautoy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Professor du Sautoy examines the way that Mathematics has overtly and covertly inspired some of the greatest artists. He examines how they might be considered as secret mathematicians: www.gresham.ac....
From composers to painters, writers to choreographers, the mathematician's palette of shapes, patterns and numbers has proved a powerful inspiration. Artists can be subconsciously drawn to the same structures that fascinate mathematicians as they hunt for interesting new structures to frame their creative process.
Professor du Sautoy will explore the hidden mathematical ideas that underpin the creative output of well-known artists and reveal that the work of the mathematician is also driven by strong aesthetic values.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: www.gresham.ac....
Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. There are currently over 2,500 lectures free to access. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds. To support Gresham's mission, please consider making a donation: gresham.ac.uk/...
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597!! Sounds like he's either an incredible mathematician or he's Dracula! Wonderful lecture! :D
So much good information and so inspiring!

I have read Finding MoonShine 4 times and still will be reading it ... again. Thank you Markus de Sautoy...
I would like to see Professor du Sautoy's interpretation of Alexander Borodin's Third Symphony. Alexander Borodin uses 5/8 time in the A Minor Key, generally used for for a sad mood. Paradoxically, it is happy music. Also the 2nd movement features alternating contrasting melodies. Alexander Borodin was actually a professional Chemist, but he composed well enough to get the respect of Franz Liszt.
Thank you . I didn't know this Symphony , but the way you describe it makes me want to hear it , probably right after i've watched this video a couple of times .
Like si estas miranla a ultima hora perque dema tens examen a la UDL.
“Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
I truly enjoyed the good Professor's selection. This concept goes back to C.P.Snow The Two Cultures and forward far beyond Snow. I think that the architecture of Eero Saarinen, for example the hard to overlook Gateway Arch in St. Louis, even may overstate it's mathematical roots. The serialist music of Webern and Berg and John Cage's aleatoric compositions bridge mathematics principals to modern dance and jazz, e.g., the explorations and revelations of space by Pilobolus. Kurt Vonnegut puts life, death and consciousness under examination on a 4 dimensional continuum. Bravo.
Probably the most interesting lecture I've ever watched on UA-cam because it makes connections between all my passions - Thanks Prof
Very good. Just note the the correct name of the writer is Jorge Luis Borges, not Luis Jorge as shown in the presentation and he is indeed a great writer, some particularly good stories are:
The Library of Babel (mentioned in the conference)
Funes, the Memorious
The Aleph
The Garden of Forking Paths
Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius
The Immortal
Theme of the Traitor and the Hero
The Writing of the God
The Golem
Any of them will give you a sense of union of mathematics and writing as the author touches upon infinity (both physical and time). Enjoy.
Jerry Elizondo encryption jazz ,why author point back too yell exact?
Thank you for the reading suggestions , kind sir . I've placed them on my todo list .
By the way : when the slide appears , the professor actually mentions that it has the names in the wrong order .
edit : i found another bit on JLB by prof Du Sautoy , also on Gresham :

Alas : the clip that i mentioned in my previous reply , is taken from *this* Lecture .
funny he mentioned cicadas, bcz that is EXACTLY what the music reminded me of.
Inspiring lecture...
I could watch hours and hours of this type of lecture. Very intriguing.

Excellent lecture overall! Mathematics and architecture, the important role it plays in our built environments
Music and Maths can go hand in hand
Why would anyone dislike this? religion? hate math? I just don't know.
Wes' TECH Really Jon gotta nue mota?
Thank you for this lecture. Keep 'em comin'!
Wonderful Lecture. +rep to Professor Sautoy
great mathematician
Fascinating and interesting is so many ways.
Especially as I understand neither art, music or mathematics.
Thank you.
A mathematician gives a lecture on musicology. Great!
My frustration is that someone who scribbles nonsense like Charles Dickens, is somehow better known than James Clerk Maxwell.
Like it or not, humans are better tuned for story telling than for really complicated logic.
Scribbling nonsense ???
Nice. I approach so many math- music connection articles and vids with dread. This was good, good to see demonstration of real use of math rather than the vague mentions of sacred geometry, etc. I don't see the room sides into string lengths, thas pure conjecture.
There is a French classical guitarist and composer, who teach at Cortot in Paris, he is very mathematical too. In fact he used to teach physics at la Sorbonne university before teaching classical guitar. His name is Rafael Andia. check him out!

I love Marcus, he’s very bright.

Wow - loved the idea that we live on the outside of a bagel. But, depending on the way you connect the edges of the screen/universe, could we not just as easily be on the inside of a globe?
Martin Joyce haha,so you think you can tell from an old steal rael?
this guy is a numerologist, meaning he gets off on attributing significance to number sequences that in the real world, have no relationship.
Mathematics is a logical activity; numerology is a mysticism.
An excellent video and lecture. It is interesting to learn how much mathematics is to be found embedded in music. Now, far be it from me to find fault with Professor du Sautoy, but I am puzzled by his claim at 22:55 that 130 and 83 are the closest numbers that represent the Golden Ratio. This observation is suspect on several fronts. To name two clear ones, 130/83 = 1.566... which is nowhere near 1.618033... 130/80 (with 13 and 8 being consecutive "Fibonacci" numbers) is much closer at 1.625, and 134/83 (at 1.614) is even closer. It could be that the Professor had the ratio 130/80.3 in mind. This, at 1.61892..., is closer still. The other observation I want to make is that the Golden Ratio is a limit, as the "Fibonacci" numbers tend to infinity, of the ratio between a given number and its predecessor. And so, in fact, no two numbers can be considered to be the closest to representing it.
I suspect he misspoke / over simplified and meant something along the lines of the closest ratio you can get for a piece of music of that length (in whole bars)
NumbersGuy perhaps there are other heard parallels that call you up too check in and phone the digital analogue semantic syntacts too other timed phonetics if you hear unsound nonsences should concider that is what else could exist st there as built in error checkers, unless it's a draught of cold chess moves?
What is the most interesting piece in this lecture?
Hmm..."music is the pleasure from counting the brain feels when it doesn't know it is counting" or whatever Leibniz said, I don't know about that, haha...it's probably part of it, but music is more than just counting...something can move you because of a harmony, or the use of a given note as opposed to another...
Funny he didn't pick Lewis Carol, haha...an actual mathematician...
I guess it's the obvious choice, a little cliché...
Haha!!...ua-cam.com/video/WyZxnskUJSM/v-deo.html...dancing...
Ah...50:17..."almost all primes"...wouldn't have thought they'd say that...and it can't mean "all primes except on a set of measure zero", haha, as in measure theory...I wonder how they define "almost" in number theory...at any rate, never heard of the Hirsch length either...
