You can go on free tours at Dunsink observatory in Dublin, every month, where he lived and studied, they have one of the Grubb telescopes there which were originally built in Rathmines in Dublin

Another great video - thank you. Most of the application of Hamilton's genius has found use a long time after his death. Schrödinger's equations and modern computer graphics.

I'm so glad I discovered this video! To me, there is nothing more exciting than the biographies of great thinkers, sprinkled with technical info. More of these, please!

Nice presentation!!!! I am a fan of mathematics and a poet. Funny that I love poetry first and wrote a published poetry book, then now I decided to study math like a nut. He was very unique and smart...maybe too unique for his time. I think mathematician's usually fancy the arts but have a too much of a "stiffer" time with it. When the balance is there, they can be the Mary Oliver's of the world. She was a chemist and famous poet. I read that he also attributed to the linear equation. Not sure if that is true? I find that these mathematicians were very interesting, more than I could ever imagine at my age of 41. I put them as the greats like classical composers like Bach, or flamenco guitarist like Paco De Lucia. Such brilliant minds, but over shadowed by others. Would like to listen to more of your presentations.

I have a question: how did you met Juan Medina and why did you started a channel with the same layout and scope but in English? I think though it is very nice, keep it that way!

Hi Diego. Juan is a neighbour of my son, Jeff, who lives in Spain. Juan was keen to start an English-language maths channel and heard of me and my writings on maths through Jeff. We met - and the rest is history! You can see what I do at my website www.daviddarling.info.
