    What a fascinating discussion.

    Geometry is the study of shapes and sizes.
    Greek - earth measurements
    Euclid’s elements - Geometry (13 elements) 300bc
    Shapes - triangle square cube
    Intersections of shapes.
    Point, line, plane. Dimensions
    Gisa
    Library of Alexandria
    3, 4, 5 right angle triangle - engineering law
    Axiom (rules), theorem, - derivation
    Definition is not an axiom, an element.
    Euclidean geometry
    5 axioms 9:22
    1. Between two dots you can make a line.
    2. Lines (segment) can go infinitely in each
    3. Point and length for circle
    4. Right angles are equal
    5. Parallel Lines
    Geometry on a plane. Issue with 180 degrees.
    Science vs math
    Inductive v deductive
    Differential Geometry
    Riemann
    Galileo- math is god’s language of the universe.
    15:00
    Newton’s principia Mathematica-1687
    Newton laws and birth of calculus
    Geometry in nature.
    Is sound and frequency found in natural? So is there’s a math for frequency? Sounds like the argument is faulty.
    And why did they not discuss Kant’s theory of geometry? She clearly believes as Kant believed.
    18:30 types of geometry.
    9 on Euclid geometry
    Analytic geometry of Cartesian geometry
    String Theory - dimensions
    Manifolds- lol, 10 dimensions. Sounds like a religion.
    General relativity
    Quantum Mechanics - being tested? Quantum was probability, not determinism. Give me a break. That is a tough pill to swallow.
    Space time as 4 dimension. Manifold
    Lorenz group
    Lee groups
    Geometric understanding
    26:17

    Thank you. It’s too bad there aren’t any games or workbooks to help students (and their parents) discover some of the fun and games that are part of geometry. If you can recommend any that would be wonderful! Also what is the name for the book referred to near the end of the podcast. A link, or at lest the rifle would be helpful.

    Geometry has been documented and explained in Indian vedas predating Romans, including pythagoras theorem documented by Rishi (sage) Kanad in one of the branch of vedas, Jyamiti (word geometry comes from this sanskrit word). This is contained in Vedic geomtery. Sulbha sutras is the book as repository of the functions and formulae. The intricately made temples standing for more than 2500 years are engineering marvels and prove that vedic geometry (and maths) was far superior of it's time.

      No doubt, all Indian students today learn Vedic geometry (and Vedic math in general) instead of Euclidean geometry in school, right? And every Indian college and university hires PhDs in Vedic math as professors to teach and research Vedic math? And Indian scientists and engineers use Vedic math to build the world's tallest buildings, longest bridges, biggest dams, fastest planes? And the Stonehenge, Egyptian pyramids, and Roman aqueducts were built using Vedic math? And the awards given to Vedic math discoveries are more prestigious than the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize? And Vedic math has already solved all the open math problems of the Western world, including the Millennium Prize problems such as the Riemann Hypothesis, P v. NP, and Navier-Stokes equation?
      Maybe Vedic math experts such as yourself should publish results from Vedic math that are currently _unknown_ to the rest of the world. For example, according to Vedic math, is P=NP or not? That would be much more beneficial to humanity, rather than claiming retrospectively that some particular theorem or another that everybody knows today was originally discovered by ancient Indians. You could also collect several million dollars in prize money.

    Brilliant to find out that whoever made the decision to produce a discussion about an extremely visual topic and is supposedly intelligent didn’t think it was a good idea to have even 1 visual aid. Not bothering to continue with this

    Speaking of Einstein, in May 2023, the question whether a single tile exists that can tessellate a 2-D plane only non-periodically - the *einstein problem* - was solved.
    Sadly, the person who led the discovery-hobbyist *David Smith* from Bridlington, England-was some 64 years old when he made the discovery, so he doesn't qualify for the Fields Medal. The Medal is given only to mathematicians 40 or younger. It's a shame that people continue to refer to it as the Nobel Prize for mathematics. Whereas the *Abel Prize* for mathematics was, in fact, modeled directly after the Nobel Prize.

    As pointed out in the discussion, Euclidean geometry = Flat Earth geometry. We teach our children A+B+C=180°. And then some of them grow up to become Flat Earthers. Isn't that to be expected, logically?

    Начало было просто замечательно, по какой причине? В начале рассматривались разные цивилизации с обществами людей которые просто без математики возможности создания из материи упускали. Но, в разных частях Земли образовывались общества, почему же эти общества людей пропадали в небытиё? Это фундаментальные основы, материя как процесс и человек пришедший в этот процесс, но для чего? Математику рассматривать вне контекста общества людей выходит просто однобоко, без общества и математика пропадает как и цивилизация. Что то слабо проработаны основы, а зачем нужна наука?

  • @СергейШереметов-ф1д
    @СергейШереметов-ф1д 10 месяцев назад

    Э э э, ребяты, поиски создания материальной частицы процесс философский. Физики упёрлись в математику и утверждают, что основа доказательства математика, очень печально, но, находясь в процессе сложно взглянуть на процесс со стороны и определится что и как происходит. Это сложно назвать заблуждением, это хуже, это тупик.

      It's debatable.

    • @PetraKann
      @PetraKann 10 месяцев назад

      @@Kittra.kaibyoNot really. Mathematics technically belongs in the Arts Faculty. It's a discipline that deals with axioms, proofs and theorems etc.
      Science is a methodology that doesn't deal with proofs. The Scientific method validates or refutes the predictions made by a scientific theory. It cannot "prove" a theory in the same way Mathematics does.
      A good example is String Theory. It is often paraded around as a scientific theory (mainly because physicists and mathematicians largely work on it). It is not. As it stands the predictions that String Theory makes cannot be tested using the scientific method.
      String Theory is best described as a Mathematical Philosophy. That could change if somebody can work out a way to scientific test its predictions.
      The scientific method is very clear on it's requirements and has been around since Eratosthenes invented it in Ancient Greece in about 180 BC.
      Having said that there are Mathematicians that firmly believe or assert that Mathematical theorems and truisms are discovered rather than invented or conjured up out of thin air.
      Mathematics is used in Science because of its power to formalise scientific ideas and concepts as well as simplifying mechanisms.
