Numbers are Serious but they are also Fun - Michael Atiyah

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Numbers are Serious but they are also Fun - Michael Atiyah
Archimedes, who famously jumped out of his bath shouting "Eureka", also 'invented' the number pi. Euler invented e and had fun with his formula e^(2 pi i) = 1. The world is full of important numbers waiting to be invented. Why not have a go?
Michael Atiyah is one of the world's leading mathematicians and a pivotal figure in twentieth and twenty-first century mathematics. His lecture is followed by an interview with Sir John Ball, Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy here in Oxford, where Michael talks about his lecture, his work and his life as a mathematician.

Sadly Sir Michael died in January 2019. What a fascinating man. RIP.

I have deep respect and love for Sir Michael. I emailed him yesterday and he responded immediately. His humility and simplicity must be admired.

rest in peace Professor, the echo of your work will stay as long as humans will walk this Earth.

His lectures are so entertaining it’s like watching a good show or movie! Great man

Awesome lecture

Hello Oxford, I'm from Brazil solving the formula zeta sums 3+3+3+3... to infinity and the 7+7+7+7... to infinity after the perfect squares odd minus with final 5 example 9×9.11×11.13 ×13...it won't stop

What a lovely person he was. Rest in peace.

Great Video

Funniest mathematician lecture ever.

Because of Sir Michael's presentation on Modulo-geometrical = trig matters, the concepts of Pi and the Exponential as created numbers starts to make sense for the inherited traditions of Mathematical thought, and the explanation of an Origin of omnidirectional-dimensional cause-effect self-defining Actuality observed and translated into practical Intuition confirmation of music-math reciprocation-recirculation potential positioning measurement rules. Ie the distinction between trivial pseudo random 0-1-2-ness connection and Absolute placement of line-of-sight relative-timing ratio-rates, @Zero-infinity reference-framing-> entangled => containment of/by i-reflection 2-ness in 3-ness Singularity-point positioning, Totality Conception in/of Eternity-now e-Pi-i 1-0-infinity sync-duration Unit Circle Apature of Centre of Logarithmic Time resonance = modulo-geometrical radial-resonance expectations of inside-outside prime-cofactor continuity, ..in/of log-antilog Condensates as form following functional relative-timing "numbers". (Well "it follows" in parallel coexistence configuration with the context/content of his lectures)

Hello Oxford I'm from Brazil I showed you the formula all non-cousins ​​automatically you discover the cousins

And with proper massaging and encouragements they could lie through their teeth, as well.
