I envy the people who have had all the support to explore and dedicate their lives into Sciences. We need more such people. Congratulations James!
Math is beyond Sciences
@@sontu5288 Yo, I'll give you the benefit of doubt and thinknthat you only mean high-school sciences. Everywhere else, literally Everywhere else, Mathematics is a part of science.

@@soyanshumohapatra and science is the pursuit to understand complexity.
@@evamkaushik5392 Fundamentally, sciences are those which follow the scientific method of experimentation etc. Mathematics does not do this and so is not a science. I don't see how it could be considered a science either but feel free to explain your thoughts.
YASSS! I AM SO HAPPHY FOR THIS! An Indian boy here, who just graduated high-school. I was OBSESSED with prime numbers ever since I came to know the mysteries behind them and the awesome unproven conjectures. I delved into the world of primes and mathematics (initially with the thought of solving a conjecture) and I came across the works of James Maynard, Zhang, Tao, etc. I binged watched almost every popular video on primes available on UA-cam. I even filled notebooks in an attempt to solve the twin prime conjectures and gone as far as writing a research paper and learning to code on wolfram to visualize my ideas. I even tried to e-mail many mathematicians including Sir James. Though I never got a proper reply, I'm still thankful to everyone who helped me see mathematics and the world differently. Amidst preparing for the heavy competitive exams in India, I still find time to continue my research on primes :D I would like to share a quote I thought of while working on prime numbers :
"Randomness, iterated over an infinite time-span, can produce patterns strong enough for anyone to believe that the universe is deterministic."
I hope you can continue on higher studies in Mathematics...
I very much like your quote
what we may think is too difficult to simulate, we may well be able to do so if we look at it in the 'big picture'.
Also when you spoke about deterministic things, I automatically thought about stochastic analysis.
Might want to give it a check if you have never seen it before
What are you studying now?
I'm too an Indian boy with a love in physics and maths
Beautifully written comment. Cheers.
Inspiring!
Wow, I remember seeing his videos on Numberphile a while back, but I certainly wasn't him to become a field medalist one day. Congratulations, Mr. Maynard, you've achieved a lot for quite a young age. I hope you don't stop progressing mathematics. Also, I wish you good luck on being a father and stepping into an important part of one's life.
watching this today 8/23/23, im hoping that your child is happy and healthy, and it has not been too much of a change for you James!
unknowingly to him, this man was one my teachers in maths. God bless him.
This is such a beautiful video! A touching portrait that cuts beyond just the math or the person to show how, ultimately, they are inextricable.
I loved Maynard’s description of his work with diophantine approximation on Numberphile. This award is certainly deserved in my opinion, and his genuine love and humility in regards to his contributions to math is well respected by me. Not only a great mathematician but a great man.
That was extremely nice to watch. Maynard, whose mathematical abilities goes beyond my saying, seems like such a great guy! Props to him on this stellar accomplishment.
Congrats on your Fields Prize and on your baby James! Love from Argentina.
I love your videos thanks a lot it's beautiful to see a mathematician talking about his researchs and showing his daily life 💙
Just amazing! Congratulations on the baby. Wishing you all the best😊
Thank you so much for this video! It's really helpful for me as a secondary school teacher trying to get teenagers to see maths as an attractive career choice.
All the best of luck to the three of you. And huge congrats! :)))
Thank you guys, it is a privilege to know these crazy sharp guys!
Congratulations 👏 and lots of Love and blessings ❤️
Congrats on your first baby. A great teacher is about to arrive :)
Many many congratulations sir.
One of the most deserving Feild's medalist.
He'll unwittingly be learning chaos theory in the next 6 months. Congratulations to both of you :)
Well deserved recognition! I recall watching an excellent presentation by this gentleman on prime numbers and applications a while ago!
So sweet of you.. god bless you
How does this gorgeous video have no comments…
Congrats James, amazing stuff
70 year old applied mathetician here. Had a Down Syndrome boy born in 1992 despite negative foetal blood test. Had normal (actually supra normal) girl born 1994 who is now an advanced trainee in oncology. I now know more about the health system than I want to know.
Congratulations, James, you're my superhero.
Loved it. Thank you!
Congrats Prof. Maynard!
Modulo, Unit Circle, prime-cofactor diameters to infinity interference positioning "atomic-node", logarithmic resonance bonding perspectives?
I wonder whether the sum of the reciprocals of all primes which don‘t the digit 7 in their decimal representations does converge…
Congratulations James!
what a beautiful mini portrait
James is awesome fella, apart being a mathematical genius, he is so positive and supportive!
Congratulations 🎉
Well Deserved!
Was it awkward when they asked him to film clips in his house when he talks about traveling and showing his photo books, I wonder? Who wrote the music in this? Thanks for sharing. Hope someone can respond when you can.
He is a great professor 🙂
Amazing!
Congratulations to him
Loved it!
If he figured ot how to become a Field Medalist and a father, he's probably ready for anything.
Very Impressive!
congratulations!
James Maynard looks like guy with whom you want to hang out and talk about mathematics for 5 hours and more.
I sure wanna work on number theory man!!
Congratulations
So, James Maynard,
(α) Do we superimpose these "lines" {Templates} onto Nature, or
(β) do we 'read them "out-of-Nature"-?
'THAT' izz the Question-?
Such a wholesome video!! ^_^
Amazing
I've been fascinated with primes since the 80s when I was in school.
Congratulations....
congratulations
What a legend!
Did you notice that he wears the same kind of shirt like Terence Tao and in the same way with a quite open chest? Maybe it's typical among number theorists.
The men who slove hypothesis of Riemann's
What a video!!
I loved mathematics up until college and then didn’t pursue it professionally. Probably the worst decision ever! Now I want to get into AI and it’s all material I haven’t touched in over 22 years
Ii love prime numbers so badly!!!
A truly brilliant man. Quintessentially British. Self deprecating and overtly humble being frankly so good at your job there's no need for theatre. Genius of this level are so rare I only hope he gets the time to unlock the vault. A mind like this can in theory discover entirely new laws for cryptography and more secure lives for all of us. I went to Oxford from 1989 until 1992 and read Zoology. I went to the Queen's college and got a Blue for boxing against Cambridge in may final year. what a time. What a place.
Bro looks 20 years old
It's very clever that mr. Maynard visualized everything like this.
Prime numbers different space for a sphere?
Awesome
When I see a chaotic scene with people in it, then to me the people are neither "objects" nor "temporary objects" nor "not the fundamental essence of what I'm looking at". I think the exact opposite is true. I know that many mathematicians have autism, and I am mathematician too and I might have a mild form of autism, but the essence of what I'm looking at in such a scene are the people, the animals, the plants and only then the non-living "objects". I was in this tunnel too, when my mind was only about mathematics. But as you grow older, you begin to think "Hey, this is my only life and I don't want to spend my whole life in abstract thoughts that might never have beneficial applications". So I stepped back from academic mathematics by simply not beginning a PhD program, though I was offered one. I just thought that if I do that, I would become crazy. I still want to enjoy my life. Mathematics is great, no doubt. It's logical and somehow one of the purest kinds of sciences. Clear and there is only true or false. But do it without harming your psyche. Not good for your health. I guess, at some point in the future, quantum computers and AI will take over and solve the hardest maths problems in a fraction of the time humans have spend on them in the past. So why wasting this time?
I don't want to offend you but as a mathematician you should know better, that AI is nowhere close to being a replacement of a human mathematician due to the sheer wall of intuition needed to break through, to get past that stage. I speak this as someone whose favourite conjecture is Keller's, whose most mysterious solution in the 7th dimension was found by a computer, using the ingenious Keller Graph, designed by humans. Mathematics is hardly a waste of time. In fact, it is the world's least time wasting task, a divine calling if you insist. All in all, I think Mr. James is living a perfectly apt life.
Cooles Videos, deutscher Untertitel wäre klasse👍🏻 (german subtitle would be nice)
Mathemagician
Yay, first comment!
A real breakthrough. Next challenge: how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
You are 'seeinging' incorrectly.
Nature is elegant economical never wasteful.
You are studying manmade 'order' not Nature.
Why are all winners of the Fields Medal straight and not gay? Every time they show the private life of the winners. But the men always have wifes and the women always have husbands. Can't there be a male winner having a husband?
Yeah sure. In theory. So long as they do smth rly impressive in maths. Your point, or lack thereof, is confusing me
Nice imagination ..
CHATGPT sort this in a heartbeat, no?
What a silly documentary
Hey, I saw him on numberphile.
Congratulations
