The Number Collector (with Neil Sloane) - Numberphile Podcast

[@blue_tetris]

I've loved Sloane's Numberphile videos on integer sequences. The sequences reveal how mysterious number theory remains, despite our millennia using these most basic units of quantity. Looking forward to this interview.

[@numberphile2]

Thanks. Hope you enjoy it.

[@RSDonovan]

@@numberphile2 Yes I enjoy Neil and JG immensely on Numberphile, although all the presenters are excellent!

[@SquirrelASMR]

@@numberphile2 more Niel Sloane please, he's so sweet and interesting

[@dorixcraft]

Neil Sloane's voice is ASMR all of its own :)

[@VincentZalzal]

I came here to comment exactly that! Such a nice voice to listen to.

[@KrakenGameReviews]

Just the joyous way he says "yes"

[@georgemachappy]

Neil Sloane and David Brailsford are two people that I could listen to talk about anything for an unbounded amount of time without even the hint of exhaustion.

[@omikronweapon]

Sloane seems like he could TALK for an unbounded amount of time without even the hint of exhaustion. XD so that lines up nicely :P

[@LightMonkeyHD]

I am so grateful to you and all the people in your videos and podcasts. Great for listening while driving to work.

[@numberphile2]

Glad you like it!

[@NoriMori1992]

That robotic voice is the most terrifying and yet also the most awesome "text-to-speech-like" voice I've ever heard. My disappointment was immeasurable when I realized that's _not_ what the OEIS "listen" feature does.

[@steamer1]

It's unnecessary, and makes an already looking podcast even longer.

[@eloujtimereaver4504]

As a fan of Number Stations, I want to know where to find more of it.

[@sirknight4981]

@@steamer1 Don't know what you're talking about. Not many podcasts where you can communicate what the interviewee is interested in; and hearing such fascinating sequences as the sequence of numbers which yield primes when a 1 is inserted somewhere within it's digits was rather interesting to me.

[@1000dots]

You could never do too many Neil episodes

[@B1GB1RDB4G3L]

If a sequence's strange? And misunderstood Who ya gonna call??

[@walkingwriter4325]

Enjoyed listening to this while working on a sequence for fun after being inspired by your last two (awesome!) Sloane videos. I had never heard of the OEIS before. As for the cold weather, yeah, some winters in Central New York can feel exponential, and the springs, like this past one, imaginary. Thanks for your great work!

[@DaruoshAghajaney]

What a lovely chap.

[@fredg8328]

A virtual reality tour of Neil Sloane's attic. You won't believe what you see.

[@thej3799]

😑

[@bsharpmajorscale]

Ah! It's the guy! The first sequence I ever submitted was accepted just a few weeks ago, and approved by Sloane himself. It's a tiny thing, but it makes me feel like a real mathematician.

[@mitodrumisra8972]

Congratulations!! Can you please tell me how to submit over there?

[@ianmoore5502]

What was your submission?

[@thej3799]

Yellowstone?

[@drewdurant3835]

Yes so excited I have a new podcast to listen to while at work :-)

[@WhirlingSteel]

Wonderful pod to listen to! Great questions, Brady and Neil's voice is very calming.

[@martinepstein9826]

He referenced a theory of analyzing number sequences, Polya something or other. I'd love to see a video on that.

[@3DCGdesign]

The Pólya enumeration theorem, also known as the Redfield-Pólya theorem and Pólya counting, is a theorem in combinatorics that both follows from and ultimately generalizes Burnside's lemma on the number of orbits of a group action on a set.

[@martinepstein9826]

@@3DCGdesign Thank you!

[@Surfboarder4]

Neil's voice is really soothing!

[@marccowan3585]

It’d be nice to see this happen with the scientists on the other channels as well

[@omikronweapon]

Don't really have anyone to share this with that would understand the context, so here goes :) Studying Python, I was inspired by the "numbers that yield primes whenever a 1 is inserted in them" to create some terrible Python code to make a list of numbers. I just got done and decided the only appropriate way to verify my output was to listen to 12:50. It was quite gratifying to be able to read along with the voice and be correct xD

[@overtonwindowshopper]

More Neil Sloane content please!

[@dhoyt902]

Contributing to the OEIS is a great honor. Thank you NJS!

[@NoriMori1992]

12:50 - That's a cool property!

[@ruinenlust_]

An actual numberphile haha

[@omikronweapon]

I'm forever taken aback by his voice. Each time I hear it, I have to reconvince myself he isn't 'doing' some sort of character :P

[@Freedom-js4th]

So this dude lived in the afteraffects of the war, got a bee, stole a coat, and created the oeis.

[@dehb1ue]

I didn’t realize he was the Sloane of MacWilliams and Sloane.

[@SquirrelASMR]

@Thomas Myles lol omg

[@PaulOMalleyDublin20]

Fantastic.

[@fanye7529]

Cornell! Yeah! Greetings from Ithaca!

[@franciscos.5165]

Love the evil voice of Mr. Sloane, a classic villain.

[@ahvavee]

Neil is top notch!✌️

[@mutsobeamin4000]

So amazing

[@knucklecorn]

Is that Anna Ptaszynski as the reciting robot voice?

[@eloujtimereaver4504]

I would like to know.

[@SquirrelASMR]

Who's that? And why does John Michael Godier also have the same robot Anna?

How can I contact you I have a serious questions about some number combination that I need your help on

[@lego-man7694]

52:35 how do you spell that name?

[@sergejkeser7270]

Me, when I saw this in my news feed: *yeees*

This is kind of what I want out of computerphile.

[@EGarrett01]

Oh, I thought he was Donald Knuth when I saw the picture.

[@SquirrelASMR]

India vs Pakistan in hockey? That sounds like one of the most lamest but intense rivalries.

[@tourajtayebi2189]

The only one watching 11 months after the effect?

[@jerklecirque138]

Is that Hannah Fry reading the sequences?

[@zoklev]

8 not 7! mistake

[@michaelempeigne3519]

I want to see everyone's face that is speaking

[@NoriMori1992]

Then watch a normal video instead of listening to a podcast.

[@rosiefay7283]

Had to abandon this after a few seconds because of the unbearable sound of the altered audio. That was so needless, too :( But it gets you a -1 from me even though I'm a Numberphile fan.

[@murk1e]

And sliding the progress bar forward a few seconds was broken?

[@numberphile2]

Sometimes one just wants to try something different. It’s actually quite a complicated effect, with the notes and sounds mapped onto the numbers. But don’t worry, I’m well and truly braced for the comments. It’s not my first rodeo. ;)

[@GrayBlood1331]

Some people are so ridiculous. If he didn't like the intro, he could have just skipped it. People can be so entitled.

[@kieronwelman4954]

Had to abandon your comment after a few seconds because of the unbearable thought of your altered mind. That was so needless, too :( But it gets you a -1 from me even though I'm a EVERYONEHASANAOPINION fan.

@@numberphile2 exactly the opposite of what they wanted to hear XD

[@ScottTilYouDrop]

Brilliant!
