Mathematics and sex | Clio Cresswell | TEDxSydney

[@joewong5248]

Clio you were my uni lecturer at Sydney Uni 16 years ago. Thanks for the laughs, it was really fun going to every class, and this video is just a reminder of how easily a student can engage when the teacher knows how to connect with the audience.

[@developermawa4579]

Imagine if most Math teachers were as skilled at connecting concepts to purpose while keeping it all the way alive!! The world would have made at least 1000 more years’ worth of development. Brilliant delivery!

[@kjaamor2057]

My immediate impression of Dr Clio Cresswell is that she - unlike so many people who deliver otherwise wonderful TED talks - is in possession of comic timing. The jokes aren't great, but the timing is on and that is so much better than the thousands of other TED talks when the timing is off, even if the jokes are on. Others might say this about many people who deliver these talks, but she is the first person who I look at and think "Whatever you had chosen to do, you would've been brilliant at it."

[@davidhornbeck1470]

Who cares about her “jokes”?…she is a fantastic communicator.

[@DJ_Force]

I disagree. Her find humor forced. She is like the comedian who ends every joke with "but, uh..." as they wait for the laugh.

[@egarcia1360]

I really wish she would have gone more into detail about some of the actual variables within those equations, at least in a cursory manner, rather than just going on about math being cool. I don't expect a full proof of the male hormone equation, but it would have been nice to get at least a quick run-through of what these equations actually mean in a more holistic sense.

[@ahse479]

You probably have to pay for that information...

[@mickeyaugrec7560]

Emmanuel Garcia Heh heh I could not agree more - glad you said it. I was thinking as she signed off that she never went into the "proof." I'll wager seeing the proof, or at least the hypothesis explained, is probably why every viewer, even the viewers most allergic to maths, clicked on and watched the video.

I love how Clio touched on what I go through every day. I manage a large database with an interface that slightly changes with every project. I try to explain to people that you need the "same" data for each point but they can't seem to realise that it is EXACTLY the same. Not just like, not almost the same, EXACTLY. Then I try to explain it and I get a robot dance with the quoting "Does not compute". Shits me up the wall.

[@Dhakadice]

Yeah, I bet if someone actually lived to be a thousand years old and you asked them how today differs from the past, they'd say "Meh, it's pretty much the same". (BTW, I'm going to steal your expression "Shits me up the wall" and use it on a regular basis)

[@johngardner1898]

It is disheartening to read the first several comments below. Her presentation was quite fascinating. In particular, her emphasis that mathematics is the study of pattern recognition is something everyone should ponder. As a musician, I know that pattern recognition is also at the heart of what I do.

[@divyank1209]

I was in awe with the way you make things connect with mathematics. If thats the case, then we can actually figure out the pattern to each thing we do and deal the next problem with a similar equation, just the variables changes.

[@Hari-888]

@DarthVader No, I actually felt the same as Marcin. For me it was a combination of both her feminity and her communication skills

[@MrWnw]

This has an easy answer. (I have a degree in physics and did teaching too, this is a pattern I observed) Math and physics are difficult (she touches on why in her talk) => only 'clever' people can understand it - bcs they have more (than you) abstract, logical or mathematical thinking => they lack the EQ, social, creative thinking + they don't see why you don't understand it => they don't have the ability to explain well or they don't explain math and physics very well Simple as that; the more clever the professor, the harder is to understand him. I see it on myself too. The other point is the best (possible) teachers don't stay in education, bcs going into research or private sector brings them more money or value... Do you think she is a teacher? Of course not, she is working on her research and once in a year makes a science-pop presentation.

+anomalousresult Lol! Maybe to some extent. But if you actually read through most comments, I find it difficult to see this having turned out different; having said that with dudes talking about another dude's body fetishising on his body together with his presentation.

[@busTedOaS]

+Fidel Tshivhasa That was her plan, actually.

[@FidelTshivhasa]

+busTedOaS That wouldn't make sense though. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of her presentation. I would understand if she intended to get some attention on the subject, but sexuality just happens to be part of her research and presentation. So I'd doubt if her plan was to get people to only have sex on their minds and remember that subject alone.

[@busTedOaS]

+Fidel Tshivhasa No, and that's not what you said. The figure you gave was 80%, not the whole audience, which I thought is reasonable. Seriously, why do you think she chose this topic to apply her mathematical Skills to? Because pure math doesn't get you rich or an a TED Stage. Sex sells, and here is an attractive Lady knowing how to get our attention. Don't be fooled, this was a calculated career decision.

[@TPsolar1]

Great presentation. It gives you a flavour of how math can explain the world we live in. I don't think it would help for her to give us the meaning of each symbol as it would need deeper explaination. It is supposed to stimulate to the point that we look them up ourselves which is a better way to learn about such an intricate subject. Love the SHOES!

I have always loved math because it is so exact, 2+2 is always 4, whereas in "English" even the phonics of our alphabet is perverse.

As for you second statement, I am learning that principle through experience.

[@philiphadad9037]

i have learned nothing from this ted talk but thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

[@BretSimmons]

Brilliant. Maybe the best opening line ever. But watch it to the end - it's really a talk about mathematics. Very smart talk

[@crazygoat85]

I would definitely "do maths" with her.

[@johannesdolch]

How to create a successful TED talk: Step 1: Have a hot girl, talking about sex plus any other random science topic. Ste ....Well that's pretty much it. PSA: As soon as she talks about anything other than sex, it gets really boring.

[@emrecanguner4344]

You think she is hot?

[@jhayabusa9344]

Johannes Dolch I disagree with the PSA, as a fat boy, the chocolate equation is pretty damn cool 😎

[@mmaxine1331]

Johannes Dolch it only saids you're quite pathetic

[@johannesdolch]

宋美熹 It saids ?

[@xyzsame4081]

I disagree - did you watch till the end, she clearly loves Mathematics.

[@riccardocapellino9078]

I had this video on my home page for 10 years, can't believe I gave up today

[@SirVib]

She's a great speaker imo, has clarity and good accent. Enjoyed the video throughout. 👍

[@argablarga]

Yeah only thing missing was content

[@aethervortex]

Yeah, she's a great speaker!! I only wish she actually had something to say.

[@mysterious6938]

I agree... Content is full of bull. Lots of nothing. Nothing with concrete continous example.

[@makthepharack]

If my teacher looked like that in high school I would have perfect attendance.

[@kaybee1234]

I just said I'd never skip school. Lol

[@absolutelysidak]

sure

[@Licw-Luxus]

@@kaybee1234 ????

[@joshuaeagan6012]

Excellent speaker. Definitely has control of the auditorium.

[@aethervortex]

But not of her topic.

[@galengiff]

Great talk. She is very captivating.

[@r.pennacchio9824]

Awesome talk! Thanks Dr. Cresswell!

[@googlable]

So basically she didn't say anything about the topic in question

[@alvindurochermtl]

You wanted to see a MILF, you saw a MILF. What more do you want.

[@rmac5584]

I hope there's at least snacks for the audience. If not its torture!

[@pk-fi1ok]

Who cares about the topic!?

[@immortaljanus]

Welcome to TedTalks.

[@mossgolemanimeservice599]

you are just jealous her biceps are bigger than you future

[@jayearnhardt9790]

This lady is stunning and even more important exactly correct I am no match wizard but I have used all of what she describes in this short video all my life. This is why the times we live in now are so exciting learning and living is. Awesome and these red videos are great

[@01123heavenlybe]

Minute 11, & 11:30-50. The formulas though, I’m by the flower formulas and Tree pollen formulas

[@clarepellerin]

Engaging case for mathematics, which many of us artists avoid... Well-presented! 💗

[@cryora]

7:25 That woman in the middle just started biting her lip like "oh yeah now I know what I need to do!!"

[@absolutelysidak]

or does she

[@giridharreddy5564]

Best gym motivation TedTalk

[@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ]

The thought that came to mind 2 minutes into this video was the movie about Turing, the "The Imitation Game"; [ plot spoiler ] a movie in which they use math at the end to manage who lives and who dies, just enough to keep the enemy thinking the enigma code remained unbreakable, and yet save lives bc they did break it. But hey back to the talk, "12:32 civilisations may clashed with religion, cultures and languages, but math, math just meshed!" this is a factoid!, a truism nobody can deny and a great quote from this talk.

[@arricammarques1955]

Insightful speaker. 'Seek beauty & you shall find it'

[@alexia513]

Um.. did she just call Biology a soft science?

[@arandomgrunt]

I think she meant just in regards to math

[@abdelarmstr5173]

It's not about how much math is used. Soft sciences are sciences that rely essentially on statistics because they cannot account for all their assumptions, so they simplify them (like psychology, sociology, etc.) Biology has way much control over its assumptions, enough to make it precise in terms of its predictions.

[@Rob749s]

+L No that's medicine. The argument for biology as a soft science would be legal limitations of testing.

[@kerthgersen3163]

Biology doesn't even lift bro.

[@sonny8754]

It's the hardest soft science Biology is basically the semi of the scientific hierarchy

[@mothman84]

That's the greatest motivation to study mathematics I've ever stumbled across. Had I watched this when I was in highschool (sadly a few too many years ago), it could have been a life-changing experience... Very entertaining! :) ...even though sex most definitely does not transcend human culture, and even though I don't feel like the sexiest lay in town just for watching this...

[@ChrisPowell-MerleApAmber]

In the study of Nuclear Power, as presented toward preparing young people to perform power plant operations in the US Navy, mathematics was the prerequisite area of study before salient information could be transmitted to build a complex base of knowledge of what would happen given every potential real-world scenario the course designers considered likely. Mathematics became the basis, the language with which the students could accept, as fact, the in-depth relationships a system developed from ground state through criticality and then allowed the study of out of normal events and evolutions forcing the system into flux with absolute faith that we understood how our reactions as positive & negative feedback operants could guide the plant back toward steady-state or if required, ground state for recovery. This lecture by Ms. Cresswell did the favor of revealing the true why of that science training and looking at it through this magnifying glass gives an insight as to why people in the technical nuclear industry are considered some of the most humane and able to plumb and embrace some of the deepest questions of human potential. If only there was a way, back then our military leadership could have communicated the potential this framework represents. Then again, mayhap that would have been counterproductive to building a labor force ready and willing to participate in the destruction of another group of human beings at some other geographical location simply based upon an ideology promoted as 'we're right, they're wrong?'

[@rlrudedog]

I knew a few classmates that could have used this to know math could be interesting and fun. I was lucky having a fellow female student who did not understand having ask so many questions all I did was listen. Math was my major in high school and into computer business in college.

[@TJ-kk5zf]

Remember when TED Talks were unattractive men saying smart things?

[@winneryeahmate]

Nope

[@bakiterriyaki9794]

Pepperidge farm remembers

[@malaychoudhary6811]

IRONIC,isn't it?

[@Wulfhartus]

that's toor far for me. Especially the smart things. I miss that.

[@Zett76]

Are you saying that you prefer unattractive men (saying smart things) over attractive women (saying smart things)? 🤔

[@Brainbuster]

5:35 She said they have concluded that "counting strategy" explains the discrepancy. This is correct, but not in the way they think. They think men approximate, and women estimate. In fact, men often count the women they nearly fucked, and women DO NOT count the men they fucked, but for a number of her own reasons, "he doesn't count." For example, "I was drunk, that guy doesn't count," or "We only did it once in the public bathroom...doesn't count."

[@boogie504]

+Brainbuster Well THAT was a brain buster. Way to bust brains coming up with this rare gem.

[@jasonenglish4345]

+Brainbuster it works both ways

[@MPresheva]

Mathematically speaking, all I remember is her trousers from the back camera. And I'm already solving my problems better.
