Fields Medal: Maryna Viazovska

Maryna Viazovska of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) proved that the E8 lattice provides the densest packing of identical spheres in eight dimensions while also solving certain problems in Fourier analysis. More details: www.simonsfoun...

Congratulations to Viazovska and deepest condolences to Yulia Zdanovska's family, friends, and all the lives she touched through her teaching and good spirit ❤

[@UdaySingh-pp6ee]

Just pitched in something else while listening, amount of emotion evolved cant explain in permutation of letters. How easy to take away someone's life in something which is far far away and having no correlation with her. She was enthusiastic, passionate, humble, and supportive throughout her life towards society and her life got ended in such a unimaginable fortune. Sometimes it feels like there is what we are living is based on someone else order to stop and vanish from earth. Salute for Maryna Viazovska 'A Field Medallist' to withstand and facing a disastrous period with such a audacity. Its been a honour to listen about you. History will remember you till human existence. Living legend.

Beautiful comment

That young Ukrainian mathematician was of infinitely greater value than Putin!!

[@georgegarcia566]

Wow. You dedicated a video about you to your family and your country. That’s love. Congratulations on your achievements.

[@wisdomokoro8898]

This is a really deep story and a very deserved medal to a very humble and enduring Mathematiians.

[@nothing8640]

My first semester algebra professor guided us through the E8 construction in a lecture. After working with some lower dimensional lattices and sphere packings it was quite rewarding. He told us about Viazovska’s proof, and that we could understand it if we read closely. It is part of the reason that I discovered an affinity for mathematics and decided to go to grad school. For this I have to thank Dr. Viazovska. It is incredible to see her receive the Fields medal not just for her contributions to mathematics but also for the accessibility of that work to young mathematicians.

[@barneyronnie]

She developed a rather formidable mathematical arsenal to solve this problem. I'm a PhD mathematician and would require extensive study to fully comprehend her methods...

[@GradStudentTutorials]

This is an amazing achievement, I'm in awe. Also, Yulia's story is heartbreaking.

[@kudzem]

I never thought someone trying to pack spheres in eight dimensions would make me emotional, god bless

[@sirushti1132]

congratulations. your work on sphere packing is truly remarkable.

[@omprakashbaruah9425]

People like you fill my heart with hope for tomorrow. Good going, Professor. Hope the scars of war will be over soon and you will be able to return to Kyiv.

[@willi80636]

Thank you for this beautiful portrait.

[@alexjbriiones]

Wonderfully put. I will remember this.

[@misteratoz]

Wonderful. I'm so happy for her!

This is very wholesome. Thank you for the video.

[@Ali4451_]

Fascinating. Thanks for the video

[@redSTEM]

Maryna is inspiring and incredibly brave.

[@macieko123456]

Great video, something very peaceful and reassuring about it.

[@aaalucasaalucas8788]

This inspires me to begin calculus , she is probably a very good teacher

[@punksnotdead4766]

What a beautiful episode and amazing talent

[@farruhhabibullaev5316]

Read some of work Maryna Viazovska has done. Pretty impressive and she is well deserved for this prize.

[@grigorynomad6675]

So impressive. I hope many other people see this.

[@haint7709]

Shine on. Stay strong. Love, it's what matters.

[@barneyronnie]

And don't forget mathematics😅!

[@barneyronnie]

I am pleased that this pleasant , clever and extremely wise woman deservedly was awarded mathematics highest honor!! My thoughts are with the people of the Ukraine.

[@mimmyjau]

thanks for this series

[@MrGrivv]

Thank you, Maryna! 💛💙

[@shubhmishra3338]

Much respect!

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

Beautiful formula.

[@viktoriiastakhova7349]

Thank you, Maryna!

[@TheZaratustra12]

подивився, засльозився, добре, що з вами все ок. Я теж з Києва, мешкаю в Базелі, син захоплюється математикою, одним словом a lot of common points :)

[@francescos7361]

Thansk super optimization and heroic .

[@abhinandanmalhotra8519]

Congratulations and infinite Respect to you Mam !

[@wisdomokoro8898]

Simply beautiful

[@ronaldr.gutierrez5218]

An admirable scientist and human being

[@AltF4Styling]

Thank You. May Yulia rest in peace.

[@leshaved]

Thanks for such an important message!

[@vladlempaleur987]

Maryna is amazing !

[@harlej9]

This award could not be given to someone more deserving. I hope this pointless war will be stopped soon!

[@barneyronnie]

Tell that to the KGB fanatic, Putin.

[@romanchomenko2912]

The future is bright for Ukrainians very talented individuals who use innovations to solve problems. I hope she can publish a book that makes mathematics easier to understand and not off putting. Using music also helps.

[@JustineEmmett]

Congratulations to an inspirational and awesome human being ❤

[@gmlssns5859]

Thanks for great works♥︎

[@basqye9]

Congratulations!!!

[@alext7202]

3:45 so if i travel back in time and just blurt out this formula i will be given a fields medal?

[@dwylhq874]

Awesome! 😍

[@zindagi_uncut]

she and people like her should be our role models, not the Hollywood/Bollywood celebrities and greedy businessmen...

[@farhanhyder7304]

Very Inspiring story. Hope war ends soon and young talent is not wasted in stupid wars.

[@SaveSoilSaveSoil]

I listened to one of her talks a few years back (didn't understand a good chunk of it of course) and revisit her website from time to time. I remember staring at one of her pictures and thought "when is the next female Fields medalist". And here we are in 2022! Yes!

[@Tadesan]

Interesting. I don't have thoughts like that.

[@deeplearningpartnership]

Incredibly heroic.

[@KilgoreTroutAsf]

Congratulations for this incredible achievement.

[@BooleanDisorder]

Kudos and congratulations 🙏🏽

[@kirglow4639]

As a Russian, I am so sorry for what my government is doing. I'm crying for Yulia and for you and for every Ukrainian murdered and living under a constant threat

[@zany527]

brilliant, emotional, great video well done:)

[@chickennoodlesoup6524]

Wow, she's amazing!

Bravo

[@Bux876]

Watching things like this makes me have hope in humans

[@satishroy8976]

Nowdays how students are being enthuthiastic and curious about study and learning all time?.......nowdays more than 90% students are getting boared of studying ......how we can reignite the trrust of knowlegde,wisdom and learning?

[@권순정-d6x]

What does Number Theory have to do with E8 lattice ?

[@solarcrystal5494]

Did y'all accidentally upload here when you meant to upload to Quanta Magazine?

[@butterflywoods4799]

Your Video is good.

[@nullvoid12]

sorry Maryna Viazovska, and thank you so much for your contribution!

[@moulin3818]

Congratulation to the brightest of human kind!

[@wdmytriy]

Kudos to all brave people of Ukraine

I wish you had dubbed the audio before uploading

[@GastroenterologyPINNs]

It will be used in next 100 years ?😮

[@GastroenterologyPINNs]

I will come back to watch the math part again 2:00

[@ixinor3786]

👏👏👏

[@devondevon4366]

Second woman to have won, congrat.Would she have won if she were a Russian given that Russian students were banned from this year International Math Olympiad.

[@samyaksambuddha2338]

Russians are not banned from the math Olympiad. They just cannot represent Russia, they can participate independently.

[@barneyronnie]

The Olympiad had little to do with receiving the highest honor in mathematics. Hence, whether or not she was Russiam is irrelevant.

Nice what a genius!

[@KimMorgan-hc3rk]

We are all affected by the destruction wrought on Ukraine by the evil might of Putin Russia. We grief with Ukrainian people and pray for them to defeat the barbaric invader!

[@danielliang3842]

Sounds like 这个啥 at 6:10

[@untilm]

I wanna be like her

[@a.osethkin55]

Damn, of course, she is cool no words. But I hoped that this was not just a review on the topic "there is such a person", but at least a mathematical analysis of her works. Eh.. Thanks

[@Nitin-_-_-_-_-_-_-00971]

This is going to get very less attention They are busy on something else which doesn't matter.

What can you do with this information? Seems pretty useless
