The beautiful minds | Cedric Villani | TEDxOrangeCoast

Cedric Villani's research and work has won him many national and international prizes, in particular the Fields Medal, usually regarded as the most prestigious award in mathematics. In this talk, Cedric Villani explores the many facets of beautiful minds in Mathematics and explains how Math is poetry.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The fact that he used memes makes him already a fucking legend :D

Probably my favourite talk on this channel.

This French guy is so inspiring. We all know in mathematics field medal is equal to Nobel price.

[@maxmax0]

In the academic world, Filed Medal>Nobel Prize

This guy is so eccentric and brilliant. lol.

[@MM-cr7dq]

3-yrs late! and I apologise if similar comments have been made earlier. The table geometry (@14:00) looks the rotor of a rotary engine, like a Mazda R7. The beauty is everywhere!

[@ashutoshkumarjha41]

Whatever Mr. Cedric says, if you listen it carefully ,definitely you are going enjoy maths, love maths and then your mind and body is certainly going to be beautiful which will be beneficial for species residing on earth. As mathematics is beautiful same can be said about mathematicians. Love you Mr. Cedric Sir as well as your voice is miraculous which attracts me towards yourself.

[@kalpita964]

Love to listen to him

[@BubbaYoga]

Tremendous talk and Fantastic tie!

[@philipgray3570]

the universe speaks and its language is mathematics. i am not a mathematician far from it but when i realized it was the language of the universe i also realized how very important math was. then i learnt that the greatest minds that have ever lived all had something in common and that was mathematics e.g fibonachi sacred design sonic geometry. so if one wants to understand the universe mathematics is the key and the connection we have with it so my love for mathematics begins

Fields Medal is equivalent to Nobel Prize in Mathematics. He has talent in his area of research, it is rare to see a Frenchman speaks fluently in English.

[@doneyhon4227]

+tube1848 It's hard to explain a complex idea in English when you are french. There is a meaning under grammar in french. There is a meaning under the mute letters. There is a meaning under the masculine and feminine words. When you speak english you lose all these things and the meaning is just under the words. Very hard for us to make sense with an unsophisticated language. Our culture turns arround complexity and we are not utilitarian... the english language does not fit with our perspectives. It's easier for a person from a protestant country to speak english than us because he understand easily the logic behing it.

[@leviataen]

+Doney Hon the problem with your arguing, my dear, is that ze germans have an even much more strongly flexed language than you have and still I am able pretty well to express deep meaning, even poems, in english, i.e. do I, as a german, regularly write poems in english and how many poems did you write in french my dear extremely educated person?

[@doneyhon4227]

+xerxes My last sentence > It's easier for a person from a protestant country to speak english than us.

[@monajalilvand4983]

His talks are really inspiring. The talk he gave at Sharif University, Iran, was WONDERFUL. I am doing cosmology, and for the most of his talk it was hard to recognize whether he is a mathematician or a physicist.

[@Hands2HealNow]

Inspiration.

[@zissou6928]

I'm gay for this guy. He's like a disney character

He looks straight out of the Renaissance

Villani is a beautiful mind himself

[@BarriosGroupie]

He's written a great book on how he won the Fields Medal.

[@manvendra0310]

Barrios Groupie Can you mention the name of the book ?

[@BarriosGroupie]

Manvendra Singh The book's called: *Birth of a Theorem: A Mathematical Adventure* and a review is given here: www.theguardian.com/books/2015/feb/25/birth-of-a-theorem-mathematical-adventure-cedric-villani-review

haha I love the way he speaks

[@ptr789]

Its the French accent that makes beautiful the speak.

[@AlloBruxelles]

Peter Palacios Absolutely not!! I'm a native French speaker and am totally not impressed by a French accent obviously. It actually bothers me BUT what he says is simply sublime. Please do not devalue his message because of his appearance or his accent.

[@blacksages]

+AlloBruxelles Haha, same for me, i hate our french accent, i like so much better the britain accent

[@loursfloral5409]

Oops...la traduction ayant induit en erreur mon commentaire...le voici corrigé...( simple ajout de mots après cette magnifique arythmétique musique de mots ! Félicitations à lui it's a brilliant math wave song made by Villani 's voice and beautiful mind by the way in between lady gaga and Lewis Carroll waiting for teatime with Mélanie Mais les autres Ma ils ont changé ma chanson Mat ! Ils ont chanté ma chanson Math ! et c'est vraiment bon ! allons ! A beautiful hair in a voluptous spirit Cédric is the best alchimist !

[@waelmattar8296]

This guy gives me so much inspiration. Btw, What did he mean when he said "No offense, even Lady Gaga lives in the same world as we do!" ? @ 14:22

[@williamrajan415]

Well Cedric was taken unawares about the amusement of being compared to Lady Gaga , a beautiful and creative person herself , albeit from a different circle . Both eccentric as much in talent as in their bizarre dress sense. Now, Mathematicians can carry truck loads of Ego . However here is a man who finds a certain liking to the fact that he's being compared to someone , who after all is like any one of us , though she may raise many an eye brow because of her ' out of the world ' dress sense. . How more humble can he get. I love you both Cedric and Lady Gaga. After all you both live in the same world...........rgds.....Dr.William Rajan from India.

[@swastikbiswas8293]

The beautiful accents

[@sdcair]

French people speaking english sound so intelligent to me. Maybe because one of my advisors at university was french and quite intelligent.

[@claudebarthy9413]

Perhaps because most of them struggle to speak fluent English xD

besides maths, Cedric V was a brilliant pupil at almost every subject .. but sport....he was asthmatic...

[@cg8397]

​​@@gilmusique1751Watch "En route pour la Médaille Fields", he claims he was excellent at table tennis

[@elisseiti9791]

Please add more mathematicians, engineers and scientists. I've had enough of people talking about political agenda in this channel.

[@gilmusique1751]

dont be surprised: besides maths, Cedric V was a brilliant pupil at ALMOST every subject .. but sport....he was asthmatic... his parents were both french literature teachers...

[@cg8397]

Are you sure about the sports part? According to the documentary "En route pour la Médaille Fields", he was good at table tennis.

[@gilmusique1751]

Yes maybe, but table tennis is not a major sport & i dont think Cedric has the level of asian champions what i was meaning. gt's

[@cg8397]

​@@gilmusique1751Since you know so much about Cedric Villani's personal life, could you please explain why he never married Claire Calmet even after more than 20 years and 2 children together? Is he one of those French Communists who believes that "Marriage is a bourgeois construct"? Anyways, in his book "Birth of a Theorem" he referred to her falsely as his wife. Even atleast one mathematics colleague in the book made the wrong assumption that they were married.

"more that 100,000 people are professional mathematicians". Means that only one in 65,000 of us can be a professional mathematician ;(

[@gnahahah4759]

it means that only on in 65,000 is a professional mathematician, but it is exactly what he said at the beginning quoting the french poet, a lot more could be a professional mathematician
