INTERVIEW AT CIRM: PETER SARNAK

[@vatsacycle]

What's with the porn music at the start LMAO

[@molin19981]

I asked myself the same question.

[@mathstoinfinityclassinTamizhla]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikhailmikhailov8781]

Mathematics is sexy.

[@migfed]

Peter Sarnak rocks, he's brilliant!

[@mattconrad]

Very insightful and inspiring. I remember him from the BBC Horizon documentary Fermat's Last Theorem.

Nooo 😭

[@molin19981]

No offense but he looks like a Dishonored character.

[@lucyoriginales]

Nobody on earth has explain to me where do Zero and 1 come from... everyone just assumed it’s right 🙄 Goodness!

[@tomkamikaze]

Set theory answers all these questions you are asking. What mathematicians mean by 0,1, +, - etc

[@tomkamikaze]

The natural numbers are assumed to exist (we must start from somewhere) but the basic operations are defined from set theory

[@ramveersingh2591]

@@tomkamikaze one can indeed prove existence of natural numbers.

[@tomkamikaze]

@@ramveersingh2591 True we need the axiom of specification to extract unwanted elements from the set implied by the axiom of infinity

[@tomkamikaze]

I need to correct that

[@lucyoriginales]

Love is blind to you mathematicians... To me, is not ☀️

[@DavidVonR]

U + me = love :)

[@lucyoriginales]

Where + and - come from? Dude?! Not even how an egg came to happen, yet... they’ve got Particle Physicists 😓🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

[@thecactus7950]

There are multiple ways to explain + and -. One is that + and - are abstractions from everyday experience. If you have a group of n things and another groups of m things, and you lump them together, you will now have n + m things in your group. Similarly, if you have n things and take away m things, you now have n - m things. However, if you are unsatisfied this this explanation, there is a way to formalize arithmetic (+ - * /), which mathematicians use. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms This explains exactly how + and - work and how you can define them just using logic.

[@lucyoriginales]

Good training? 😂

[@lucyoriginales]

South Africa?! 🙄😖💔

The surface of his face is a continuous manifold ( ignoring the nostrils ,mouth, ears etc.), but nowhere differentiable - in other words, not smooth .. .hahaha...

He certainly has a weird face.

Your comment is irrelevant, unnecessary and disrespectful.
