From miller to entering Cambridge at age 40 - George Green

[@mathemaniac]

Correction: 9:25 The German journal name should be Klassiker der Exacten Wissenschaf*t*en instead. Can’t believe I didn’t thank the UL staff for arranging my rare book reading experience… Thank you so much! Not a typical Mathemaniac video, and this video is new to me on so many levels - the genre, the drawing, the travelling, the filming, so it might not be as good, but hopefully something that you haven’t seen on KZbin before! If you don't like this, the next video is a more typical video on the channel, so stay tuned!

alright!

Hello!

[@manuroitman]

The video is great but please normalize the sound (very low talking, very loud music), also better use some sort of gimble for outside shooting.

[@mathemaniac]

Thanks! I don't know too much about outdoor shooting, and this is my first time, so thanks for pointing me to things I need to care more about.

[@pietbouwens4529]

This is the first video I've ever seen from you (randomly got recommended) and I thought it was really well made!

[@Snillocad143]

Turn the pages from the outer corner, NOT BY THE CREASE!!

[@mathemaniac]

I didn't realize how close it was to the spine... Luckily the book didn't break or anything, but will keep that in mind.

I can't believe it took me so long to realize that this was the same Green as in Green's functions. Those things are pure black magic as far as I'm concerned. I'm very much looking forward to your series on them!

[@mathemaniac]

Great to see the interest! I might not be making an entire series on it - perhaps just a video about Green's functions would have to do. But I will see how much I can talk about Green's functions, and if there are a lot, then there might not be just 1 video about it!

This video is excellent! Great work! Green's theorem is truly beatiful once you get the feel of it.

[@mathemaniac]

Thanks a lot!

[@TranquilSeaOfMath]

Very educational; I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for producing this. Seems like you had a fun adventure in visiting the locations as you put this together. Your quote at 7:10 , "Exams don't define you", is something more people need to hear and embrace. Exams can be discouraging. They can be discouraging on both sides; the student side, as well as the instructor side.

I did my own deep dive on George Green a few years ago and so I was super happy to see this video. Love this channel anyway but this one was particularly nice. I look forward to your future vid on Green's functions. Such a neat topic.

[@mathemaniac]

Thanks so much! Glad you like it! This kind of video is quite new to me, so I don't know people's reactions to it, but fortunately some of you like it!

Nice approach man, a much needed video!! It is interesting take to draw and tell the story!! You can draw!! Enough to carry the story!! Please make a video series about green fubction from classic phy to QM, QFT

[@adarshkishore6666]

They teach about him in Vector Calculus class first :( and sadly this mathematician remains underrated even in that class compared to say Stokes or Gauss. You're doing a great job to identify these less known but equally prolific mathematicians compared to their more popular contemporaries

[@mathemaniac]

Thanks! Green is indeed underrated!

[@geekoutnerd7882]

Haha finally someone noticed that I drew George Green as green all along.

[@angel-ig]

Wow, nice to see a new video from Mathemaniac! Very interesting topic, too; I'm really excited for the second part... Also, your drawings are good ;)

Thanks! Appreciate the patience in the meantime.

[@tituscassiusseverus6303]

Totally agree about exams, iq tests etc. I do quite well in those things, yet I've never proportional success in anything else I've done 😂.

[@mathemaniac]

Haha:)

[@roberttelarket4934]

A genius of the order of Gauss. In terms of education he was like Faraday - miniscule. Any set of events educational, economic or otherwise would have prevented him from pursuing any math investigation and relegated him to obscurity and would never have enabled him to produce what he did! The only two that I know of who started late is Sophus Lie and Green.

Green’s the GOAT anyone that studies vector Calc will know

[@mathemaniac]

Yes indeed!

[@channelsixtysix066]

Just imagine if George Green had more academic opportunity than he had. What sort of papers could he have authored and subsequent advances made so many years earlier than they did. Just an aside, when handling books, please turn the page at the top RH corner, not down below near the spine. That is a risk of tearing the page. 00:35

[@mathemaniac]

Yes, George Green would definitely achieve more if he was born into a richer family who can support him more, academically. I didn't realize how close it was to the spine... Luckily the book didn't break or anything, but will keep that in mind.

[@channelsixtysix066]

@@mathemaniac Oh! Thank you for your reply. Yes, to minimise stress on a page, pick up the top RH corner and slide you hand down page and turn it that way. I do this to preserve my textbooks. 😊

[@dawnnewton5891]

Thank you for honoring George green 🍏 I have learned a lot about this brilliant man ,I am from Nottingham so I have a very good interest in the mill & green 💚.so thank you enjoy the video. By the way my cat is also called George 😁

[@YassinElMohtadi]

i just have one question does George Green's grandson George Green have a son called George Green ? how about the grandfather is his father named George Green ?

[@mathemaniac]

Haha :) I know that you are joking, but actually the chain stopped there - the mathematician (the middle Green)'s son never married and never had a son. The chain also stopped the other way as well - the mathematician's grandad was called John, rather than George; and the mathematician's great-great-granddad was also called John. If you are really interested, you can see all these in the biography I mentioned in the video.

[@YassinElMohtadi]

@@mathemaniac well that's a bummer :) But in all seriousness thank you so much for the video, really interesting and informative , your channel is very underrated and i think you'll find immense success in the futur , just keep up the good work and never be afraid of experimentation.

Oh god, it hurts my soul to see you turning those pages from the center, what kind of maniac would do such a thing? A mathemaniac, I guess. Sadge

[@mathemaniac]

I didn't realize how close it was to the spine... In my defense though, I was holding my camera by one hand, another hand turning the pages, so it might not be easy in turning the page from the top corner. Luckily the book didn't break or anything, but will keep that in mind.

Yes, you are right! Will correct it in the pinned comment and the description!

[@AkamiChannel]

It's unfortunate that I can't seem to find a pdf online of his original essay 😢 Edit: found it. See comment to this comment.

[@nicolaspaes]

Are there publications or letters about his self-taught education ? Would be interesting to read

[@mathemaniac]

I doubt so, as said in the video, Green only had posthumous fame (tens of years after his death), so not much of his life is known. Almost every material that you can find related to Green's life can be traced back to one person - D. M. Cannell (the author of the book mentioned), who wrote a biography of Green. This is in the first of the sources listed in the description.

I am aware of Greens Theorem, (as you say), when I studied at Manchester Polytechnic. Its interesting. Oliver Heaviside was likewise ignored by the establishment and Lord Kelvin also helped promote him too! Its the old old story. In the UK if you are from a humble background, or did not go the right schools or colleges, then you are ignored; UK snobbery. I am looked down upon by going to a "Poly" instead of a University (I take glee in the fact Einstein went to a Poly) - the worst of the Universities give out fraudulent "MA" degrees with no work. Thanks for this video, now in retirement I shall read Green's biography.

[@TheOneMaddin]

I could not believe that you required to be a bachelor (in the sense of "not married") in order to receive a Bachelor's degree. I googled it and could not find anything. So, where is this fact from?

[@mathemaniac]

This is the case only historically. As stated in the video, most of the information comes from D.M. Cannell's biography of George Green.

[@benYaakov]

you know that story is intresting when einstein enters into the scene

[@mathemaniac]

Yes! Even Einstein complimented Green!
