Huawei: The Explorers: Inside the mind of award winning mathematician Cedric Villani

Fields Medal award winner Cedric Villani gives us a look into the life of a mathematician and how its impact on the world is more present than we think: bbc.in/2nkLNOl
Through the power of mathematics, we can transform theories into practical objects, things or solutions.

an exquisite masterpiece of human thought and cinematography. Thank you Huawei.

[@popicelolly]

The frenchiest french man i have ever seen.

[@cg8397]

His origins are Corsican, Villani is an Italian surname

[@popicelolly]

@@cg8397 Yeah yeah I know all about the Corsicans and French relations and how there is a lot of hate and wanting independence etc.. I 'm just stating his mannerisms which in my opinion are very much French.

[@chandrapandey822]

Wow just wow this is one of the finest made videos on KZbin the cinematography is beyond imagination and it really gives the deep and mysterical essence of ever divine field of maths

[@gaokezhang6998]

One of my favourite mathematicians, I have watched so many videos about him since 2013 (and he won the Fields Medal at 2010). Actually I was really moved at the end of it, I don't really know why but it's true. Just be curious about if there's someone else who has the same feeling

[@cg8397]

I feel sad watching this old video, especially after observing his deterioration following his abandonment of mathematics for politics.

[@RedBar3D]

Me too. I really liked the part about sharing the journey. I think mathematicians in general should work on sharing their work and enthusiasm for the subject. I feel like they are sometimes lacking in that regard, which probably has to do with the fact that mathematics is a bit of a solitary science by nature. But I don't think that means we shouldn't try!

[@Jeremydeez112]

​@@cg8397he's old mathematics gets hard as we get older. It's truly a young mans game.

[@AhmadKhan-dn6yh]

"How can I be so stupid? and at the same time happy to be in that state" Well said Cedric! When people see me frustrated, they tell me to consider changing my field, but what they don't understand is that I like the frustration since as you just said, it makes us happy

[@NM-jq3sv]

Awesome video. Every sentence mean some thing really deep.

[@ren5941]

The video clip itself is so moving and inspirational. Well done.

[@DsOeousf]

So inspiring

[@carlosalford]

I love this video, very inspiring

[@alfredhitchcock45]

He looks like Rene Descartes

[@david-yt4oo]

perfect

[@Meghnaaad]

I think I am a mathematician after solving a relatively simple calculus problem.

[@professorboltzmann5709]

Good man

[@tomkamikaze]

Nice to have a Maths Celebrity

[@abhisheksoni9774]

Awesome and inspiring 👏

[@huawei]

Glad you think so!

[@jodypeps6266]

What is the music piano?

[@Dinesh-br5qd]

Exhilarating

[@leif1075]

Who wrote the MUSIC in this? Please tell me.

[@nikhilverma6457]

For some people programming is addiction and mathematics is obsession.

[@anarbay24]

Does anyone know the melody fom the video?

[@parkerdreesen271]

Same

[@enzotinebra5357]

What is the music ?

[@parkerdreesen271]

@enzotinebra5357 I was wondering the same thing

[@shafqat1138]

The Hessian of being French is a definite negative at 1:06

[@mirkx7382]

c'est interessant

[@maxcarvalho3202]

En effet

[@grothendieckriemann5893]

what is this anime?

[@scottwalker9766]

Mathematics is severely limit in the things chaos can become.

[@scottwalker9766]

Not to mention it uses an extremely large amount of resources.

[@scottwalker9766]

In terms of mental capacity.

[@scottwalker9766]

I am open to new ideas but this is an old one.

[@scottwalker9766]

I am not convinced there is only one way to do things.

[@scottwalker9766]

I am pretty certain there are infinite ways but something is in the way.

[@vasdgod]

He looks like avogadro

[@omargaber3122]

Save igor 😠😠

[@Sin-nombre1212]

tiny, tiny

[@galas062]

Modern man, the guy!! There are women scientists and mathematicians? Too old fashion and old world… as his fashion

[@cg8397]

No, women in STEM are still a minority due to lack of interest (most women prefer fields that involve personal relationships rather than abstract concepts)

[@0505121968]

“He” wanted to go to the moon because “cold war”, not curiosity.

[@cg8397]

Even the sailing example was really about acquisition of territory and resources
