If ESPN Covered Mathematicians (Part 2)

[@AeneasX]

Nah all jokes aside Erdos over Grothendieck or von Neumann is a wild take

[@therealjayz8036]

If Von Neumann was a basketball player he’d be Wilt Chamberlain

[@WaitingforGodel]

@@therealjayz8036Erdos would would be Wilt, he allegedly collaborated with 20,000 mathematicians

[@alepho4089]

Grothendieck over von Neumann & Erdos. Not even close.

[@yb3604]

"And I wish my Kyle number was approaching infinity" this is better than ESPN 100%

[@jackf1658]

All this talk about star players when it’s a team game

[@Yokai2510]

The top comment right here

[@ilicktrains8304]

"We should all be -grateful that Allen Iverson- sorrowful that Ramanujan -wasn't 6' 6- didn't live till 66 years old." -Kobe Bryant- Gregori Perelman probably

[@ImBored2k]

Ramanujan is Derrick Rose of mathematics. The biggest what if

[@clarencejohncabahug5466]

Erdos, Ramanujan, Grothendieck and von Neumann were huge stars but others who deserve mention are the mommy of algebra herself Emmy Noether, the daddy of probability Andrey Kolmogorov and the daddy of functional analysis Stefan Banach.

[@TheAwesomefroggy]

Skip Bayless has Gauss at 9th all time

[@gasaidjohn3499]

For those wondering, Euler and Gauss haven't been mentioned because they were writing papers in a much less competitive era. They were competing against farmers and horse cart drivers. You put Euler in today's game and he'd hardly be a MRM.

[@TheRevAlokSingh]

Have you actually read Euler? I have, and his work in generating functions (just to pick 1 topic) could be picked up and I think he’d do more than fine.

[@gasaidjohn3499]

@@TheRevAlokSingh No, I don't know what I'm talking about

[@philking911]

Put some respect on the pioneers names. Euler walked so these modern fools could run

[@rubensf7780]

I was gonna mention Euler

[@raul5081]

Which is why they're even more impressive. You won't ever know what modern names would've achieved if they didn't have all the centuries of discoveries and overall knowledge supporting them, but we know those two could make waves even though they had much less to work with, now imagine if they had had the same prior knowledge to work on...

[@philking911]

How about Ramanujan?! Sadly his prime was cut short, but he would have been the undisputed GOAT if he had lived a full life

[@KMKPhysics3]

Just re-watched “The Man Who Knew Infinity” a few days ago, makes me so sad to think what he could have accomplished had he lived longer

[@therealjayz8036]

You need some longevity to be in that discussion. Plus he was playing in a weaker league

[@Morax___]

Part 3 please

[@cronox2585]

Gödel and David Hilbert could be a solid comparison

[@michaelnovak9412]

I love Erdos, but it's pretty ridiculous to compare him to Grothendieck. There's simply no comparison.

[@KMKPhysics3]

I know, what was that analyst thinking XD

[@farzamimran3960]

U gotta do more 😂😂

[@dorol6375]

I love this series so much

[@JacopoBerzeatti10]

This is the best video I have seen in a while

[@KMKPhysics3]

Thank you :)

[@hugochavez8797]

1. Gödel 2. Hilbert 3. Von Neumann 4. Grothendieck The rest is up for debate, and yes I am a logician.

[@henrycurtis4600]

Can you do one with Godel? That would be super funny

[@s1lli]

Make these longer and do more fields PLEASE

[@gouthambhat1503]

John von Neumann. End of story

[@aziz0x00]

I literally went from dislike the video to like the video when he mentioned Grothendieck, i actaully did 😂😂😂😂😂

[@OctoPlaysPiano]

HAHAHAHA

[@TranquilSeaOfMath]

So good.

[@Unpug]

This is awes me I love it

[@MathematicsOne]

Bravo! ❤

[@ramu3938]

Please do one on jon von neumann pleaseeeeee.

[@ominousplatypus380]

I think it needs to be mentioned that Erdős was on PEDs 🤣

[@kapoioBCS]

57 is a prime apparently 😂

[@rubensf7780]

Yea and 51 isn’t a prime either

[@MaheshPatil-lr7wv]

John von Neumann

[@spageen]

Newton is not the GOAT because he didn’t win a fields medal

[@therealjayz8036]

It can’t just be about trophies. You have to look at his impact on the game

[@tinchote]

Everybody mentions Grothendieck and algebraic geometry, but his thesis was on functional analysis (tensor products of Banach spaces) and it's a masterpiece.

[@KMKPhysics3]

Interesting detail I never knew about!

[@IcaroWWW]

dude, that's so good 🤣

[@aiseop31415]

David Hilbert left the chat

[@hope_pead]

Not even talking about Hilbert or von Neumann huh? Serious blasphemous shit.
