Meet the great Sir Isaac Newton, as revealed through a lifetime of collaboration and communication. William Dunham, who delves into both math and its history, uses Newton’s own words to expose the man behind the math. From his earliest known letter, through exchanges with Leibniz, Locke, and others, to his most-quoted passage about standing on the shoulders of giants, Newton comes to life at his best … and his worst.
Math Encounters is a public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics and presented by the Simons Foundation and the National Museum of Mathematics.

Excellent presentation on Issac Newton by distinguished historian of mathematics, William Dunham. Years ago, Prof. Dunham lectured a course comprised of a couple dozen lectures on the history of mathematics. My recollection from Prof. Dunham's lectures is a story that there is only one account of anyone ever witnessing Newton laughing. Newton was at a social event, where a gentleman inquired of Newton, in a rather pompous manner, whether there might be any benefit from reading Euclid's Elements, whereupon Newton is said to have burst out laughing. Being familiar with the broad scope of Euclid's Elements, I must admit it is a rather funny inquiry, especially to the likes of Newton.

Thanks for your video, highly appreciated. Compliments of the Season. BTC price is in a precarious location, the asset set a new all-time high just days ago but is currently below the record and starting to decline. analysts suggest that the latest rally above $32.000 could have been triggered by aggressive buying from institution investors on coin base, as suggested by the large premium of about $350 compared to the price in binance....The shifting momentum is now presenting in technical indicators supplying bearish movement, adding to the double top narrative that’s been building since failing to break $30,000.?? This being taken into note, it can’t be more obvious that trading Bitcoin is way more profitable than just holding and waiting for the price of Bitcoin to skyrocket. I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from trading till I came across Carlos Andrewfx program for investors/newbies who lack understanding on how trading Bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also stack up more bitcoin, he provided me with %100 signal and with his strategy i was able to increase my portfolio from $4000 to $42,000 in just a week, I was convinced to say his an expert, with Andrew help.

William Dunham is a great lecturor. I don't feel that he ever equaled his "Journey through Genius". Maybe he's getting ready to write about Isaac Newton? He left plenty out of this great lecture - Newton's classification of cubic curves. He left out the Fermat work on min/max, which he had to admit to in the questions because some in the audience knew about that part(it's well known enough I suppose even today!).

Actually I have something to say ..... It seems that Newton had used the Factorial prenciple (!) which it comes from Gamma Function in his Binomial Formula before Euler born , means before it had been discovered by Euler...the same thing with Gauss Divergence Theorem , Newton had used the same prenciple of the Divergence of the Field to apply the inverse square law to discover the Law of Universal Gravitation before Gauss born ... I think there is something deep going on, something about Newton's mind and why doesn't he clarified these mathematical principles that he had already used ???????

"the Shoulders of Giants" is not from Newton but from Bernard of Chartres who used to say that we [the Moderns] are like dwarves perched on the shoulders of giants [the Ancients], and thus we are able to see more and farther than the latter. And this is not at all because of the acuteness of our sight or the stature of our body, but because we are carried aloft and elevated by the magnitude of the giants

A wonderful Speaker and very interesting talk given by William Dunham. The adults were all seated at the back. They were the ones who wanted to be there. Instead, positioned within the view of the camera were bored adolescents. The girls all wanted to sleep and in the latter part of the lecture all the Jew-boy wanted was to chat up the girlie next to him. What a waste of time casting pearls before these swine. The interested audience should have been down the front, and the kids left at home with their skull caps.

You can prove this using the fact that e^(i*pi) = -1 and arithmetic. But the proof of that itself is probably a little bit complicated. The algebra is: e^(i*pi) = -1 e^(i*pi) = i^2 e^(i*pi*i) = i^(i*2) e^(-1*pi) = i^(i*2) e^(-1*pi*0.5) = i*i Then you can just simplify the real number on the left to get your value. Actually i*i can equal several different numbers, though. You can get a few different values for it by simplifying from that same formula

I personally don't believe half of what the so called "experts" say. Newton did not predict the end, He simply put a exaggerated date as to when the end would come ,so as To put to rest Predictions of the "end". Of course sir Isaac Newton knew this scripture! Study Bible(Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." Newton spent a great deal of time trying to discover hidden messages within the Bible. After 1690, Newton wrote a number of religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible. In a manuscript Newton wrote in 1704 he describes his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible. He estimated that the world would end no earlier than 2060. In predicting this he said "This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail."[40]

I think the question of who the giants were is the question is begged in too many discussions about Newton's thought. It needs to be discussed and the best discussion is to be found within the pages of Never at Rest, Richard Westfall's monumental biography of Newton. Often people cite portions of Newton's notebooks of the 1660s. But what they neglect is why he turned away from the new Cartesian mathematics after he had mastered it further than anyone living in the West. In his thirties, he gave a second shot at the ancient Greeks. He expressed his regretted his youthful arrogance when dismissing presumptuously the early books of the Elements of Euclid as being too simple. When he wrote the Principia, he wrote it in the style of his new heroes - Euclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius. Contemporary commentators doge the bullet by translating all Newton's proofs in synthetic geometry into modern algebra. Newton had said that the Greeks solved everything Descartes boasted of discovering and had done it more elegantly. Newton also explicitly decried what would happen if the mathematicians of the future neglected the Greeks.

It seems to me since Newton has stated he is not looking for fame or notoriety (some people are not though they are rare) it is obvious his anger is not at losing reputation - but that he believes (perhaps wrongly) others are making false claims - ie stealing which we all know happens all the time in all walks of life. Perfectly reasonable anger, but sad if he was wrong.

Newton was infact a very religious man . I read his books which interprets hidden secrets in bible. Newton did not waste time in this books at all indeed he was a real genius. In this video professor said only few people can understand his principia mathematica work. I think only very few can understand his religions writing's. In the video 1:15:10 professor says he calculated the end of the world . newtons interpreted this dates from bible chapters of Daniel and Revelation of the end of the world in his interpretation it is not the literal end of the world it is the end of the evil world in which the old heavens and earth will passes away and new heavens and earth will be established under Christ ministery to rule over a thousand years on earth. If someone believes in bible they know that Christ will come a second time on earth to establish his kingdom, Isaac newton interprets this event that this will happen on or before 2060 end of this evil world and beginning of God's kingdom which infact people take it literally it is the symbolic language is from bible which Isaac newton tells how to read the bible and understand it in the right way to know the truth.

Nice lecture by prof. Dunham, just one remark, it is all too easy to picture Newton as self-centered, if we place his letters out of context. Isaac Newton is still number one (and not plagiarist Albert Einstein who is on spot 50, Einstein's 'there's no aether' agenda has spoiled physics until this day), no matter the unsympathetic attempts by this NYC audience with obvious background (the same as the Simons) to downplay Newton's character and brilliance. Newton, who was only human, could be wrong about scientific notions, for instance, he was wrong about the nature of air pressure, nevertheless his formidable contributions to math and physics are without equal. In sharp contrast with Newton, Einstein's frequent plagarism CAN be proven beyond a shadow of doubt, and this will never be faced nor discussed by the 'Simons Foundation' people in NYC, the taboo is definitely there.

@@elleshar666 so maths for maths sake, but when it enters the scientific realm you won't let yourself enter as science proves that you cannot get life from non life, if anything Isaac Newton's primary discovery is that the universe is engineered like a sophisticated clock, as in every design requires a designer, Newton had humility towards his God, and another awesome expose was that of proving from his God's inspired word that God is 1 God and proved from the scriptures and every known source available to Isaac Newton that all churches that adhere to the Trinity, as in God is 3 persons in 1 is a false unscriptural bible teaching, though to be fair Isaac Newton focussed on Catholicism but having said that Isaac Newton also exposed the Nicene Creed and other Creeds which were manufactured by man made religions, supporting the false Trinity and basically highlighted, a very simple but powerful truth, God is one not 3 or 666 but one, his first creation was his son, his active force is the holy spirit, they are all differant, share similar orientation and purpose but 2 of those were created by the Creator, so enjoy maths as without application it leads to nothing, Isaac Newton applied mathematics but predominantly sacred scriptures as sources of proof and testing theories, he even investigates the chronological history of mankind, well, gave it a good go, involving many sources but primarily the bible. He made notes showing his understanding of bible prophecies, some were correct, some incorrect but he was humble before God and knew that full enlightenment was for a future day, ultimately, he believed and reasoned that the earth will stand forever and the corrupted system of things would be removed to enable a paradise for the meek. Basically Evolution and the Trinity are fake and cannot proven.
