The Magic of the Primes - James Maynard and Hannah Fry

- In July 2022 Oxford Mathematician James Maynard received the Fields Medal, the highest honour for a mathematician under the age of 40, for his groundbreaking work on prime numbers.
In this Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture he explains the fascinations and frustrations of the primes before sitting down with Hannah Fry to discuss his work and his life.

It's interesting his experience of disregarding what others advise him.
I work as a software developer and countless times when looking at a problem people have told me I am going down the wrong path and it turned out that I was on the exactly correct path.
One of my favourite mathematician ❤
And yet Ms Fry was a zelot for forcing people to get an experimental vaccine. Just another shill
Wow. Listening to James describe how his mind works and his obsessive nature, it was as if he was talking about me. I have never heard anyone else talk about this.
Now all I have got to do is learn to add up…well…sort of!
good luckkkkkkkkkkk
So I learnt how prime and the reductioning indexing by this helps us in classification problem in real space.
13:55 There is insufficient space on the slide... (lol)
My dream is to study mathematics at Oxford uni 🇬🇧🤲 and become mathematician ✈️✨
Aberdeen University is good for maths as well. It's early history produced many FRSs.
Good luck
That is a great dream to aspire to. I hope you make it happen. Never stop learning.
You can do it!
Me too!
Is there somewhere I can read up on the building blocks aspect of prime numbers and why this is important/interesting? Like they are building blocks via multiplication. Are they the only set of numbers that you can multiply together to produce all other integers?

I Found years ago a book in paperback by John Derbyshire with title "Prime Obsession" which proved very light but instructive.
It is a math book that reads like a mystery novel.
I mean of course you can always add a composite number to the primes and they still generate all integers. (Ie, every number is a product of primes, so its also a product of primes, while also allowing another composite). I suppose that the smallest set with the property you're asking for are the primes. This is because if you have a set A which is not the primes, then there is a prime P which is not in A. Then since P is prime, it cannot be written as (a*b) in N, so it cannot be written as (a*b) in A, as A is a subset of N. So then P is not a product of elements of A. Hope that helps!
I really hope these two people are actually this genuine in real life.
They seem rather common, relatable and friendly (and dare it be said, modest?); traits far too rare amongst intellectuals nowadays.
Those traits are not rare at all 🤨
@@diegomo1413 wow, you seem very humble, polite, and relatable 🤓🤪
at least your last reply doesnt on the other hand

I don't like his use of the phrases "building-blocks", "chemical compound (molecule)" and "constituent atoms" to describe the function of factors in multiplication. A complete chemical compound contains the SUM of its atoms in a new arrangement. Factors however, when multiplied together, result in the fabrication of consituent parts fabricated from nowhere which did not exist before. It also does not work with primes since 1 x 7 = 7 but has 2 parts which add up to 1 part, OR 8 parts depending on how far one stretches the concept.
That often results from students using symbols in a way that , when they begin study of another field that uses a semantically different symbolical wordset , needs , perhaps for their first time , to contend with puns and ambiguities in what they assume is a merged and dis-ambiguated set of commonly understood pairings of meaning to symbolical form while the wordset is actually a "hot mess" of ambiguities . In 1970s USA , some university students who were studying from texts using inherited technical notational standards had such problems when studying both classical physics and what was to them a new standard in the language of chemistry-related formally standardized symbolisms .
I want to solve this large factors with my computational algorithm. Where do I publish it?

You're ALWAYS concerned about not making "lame" mistakes. It's embarrassing and it's ALWAYS possible, so vigilance is required.
노자 도덕경 1장을 수학으로 해독했는데 perfect number and prime number와 관련 있습니다. 기본 한자와 한국어를 해야 이해할 수 있는데 관심 있는 분 있기를 바랍니다.
What is a number (outside of our heads) let alone a prime number?
Now's he's an FRS. FRS is perhaps higher than Field medal
No
@@rogerfletcher534 I think it is.
Isn't he also a father and husband? That is way more important in life than any prize.
As long as the universe is infinite ♾, so is the numbers of primes. It would take a bit of time to add them all up😂
maybe prime numbers are a path to the universe.
Hannah 😘
I have proved
Plz reply me James Maynard
Plz help me i want to talk jamss maynard plz
Please learn to write before u try to TALK ... then look up fukwit in the dictionary
mind how you go kids, there’s a pHARMa poi$on pushing ginger in the house
