The 1982 Fields Medal was actually awarded in 1983 at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Warsaw, Poland. The 1982 ICM was postponed for one year due to the imposement of martial law in Poland at 1981.
How can I as a non mathematician even begin to understand what they accomplished and the significance? It’s all so fascinating to see math at the highest level but I have no grasp on what any of it truly means
They’ve just got too far ahead of this generation. Like Pythagoras for instance, do you think most of people in 500 BC understand or care how to calculate a hypotenuse?
Honestly the only way to actually really understand this is to study maths at a university, do your PhD and then specialize in one of the areas of maths where you then hope to understand one of their papers
Correction: Edward Witten was awarded for his contribution to knot theory and new invariants of three manifolds, NOT the 1981 proof of positive energy theorem.
2022 Fields Medal will presented at International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) starting July 6. This will be an entirely virtual event, the first since ICM started in 1897. The 2022 ICM was originally scheduled to be held at St. Petersburg but was cancelled and move to virtual after Russian has invaded Ukraine.
Great video but just to nitpick a bit. Hironaka proved resolution of singularities only in characteristic 0, which is already remarkable. The statement in positive characteristics is still open.
Richard Borcherds, the guy at 1998, actually has a youtube channel where he posts his lessons. Edit: here is one of his videos ruclips.net/video/ukbBe0ZvNp4/видео.html
He should get another one for a great achievement in real life general topology, i.e., for demonstrating the plausibility of seperability axiom for the topological space of union of set of mathematicians and boxes of one million US dollars.
@Parker Moss The first Fields Medals were awarded in 1936. Emmy Nœther died in 1935, and turned forty in 1922. The Fields Medal was created too late for her.
@Parker Moss Anyway, the Fields Medal is awarded to mathematicians under forty years old. Even if she had lived a hundred years, she wouldn't have got it. And she would also have come too early for the Abel Prize.
The good thing about maths is that you can do it with little money so poorer countries can produce fantastic mathematicians unlike physics which is dominated by the US with all its resources.
Only one female (who sadly passed away recently) in this elit club mathematicians. It is very important to involve woman in mathematics in a large scale and to do that mathematical societies like AMS, IMU must take steps to make it happen. It is unfortunate that in the last 100 years world of mathematics could not produce someone like Emmy Noether.
From my own experience, many girls who start a mathematics major will end up specializing in some applied field; such as biomedical mathematics. Infact, there were only 4-5 girls out of 20-25 guys in my Galois theory class last semester. One of whom I just finished doing a project with.
@@meahoola I don't want to slander the great man, but I think it is conceivable that he burned out on amphetamines, this was common in the 60s, a lot of people were affected. The forcing work is the greatest mathematical achievement of the 20th century, and he didn't even fully write it up properly completely, his 1965 book has lacunae (for example, Cohen says near the end that he developed forcing by analyzing the syntax of proofs, not using models, and you can sort of see how that would work, but he doesn't elaborate or give the translation of the forcing conditions to proof syntax, and that is super-duper useful)
@@annaclarafenyo8185 Interesting, I thought Erdos was the only one. You might know more about forcing than I do, and it's been forty years ago for me... I remember, usually one starts with the (naive) assumption of a small ZF model. To get around that, one then has to use syntactical arguments. So I don't fully get what you wrote. By the way, I recently learned that a model Solovay is needed for quantum field theory, relying on inaccessibles and forcing. Wow! Thank you.
Field Medals are awarded for young mathematicians under 40 .Nothing related to definitive works . However Laurent Schwarz , Lars Hormander , Sergei Novikov , William Thurston , Edward Witten and PL Lions stand out in theirs contributions to Pure Mathematics.

@@tomcsvan That's a good point, but Pythagoras didn't originally invent the identity/formula bearing his name. That was known almost 1500 years prior
Yes exactly, I can relate with you 😢
Correction: Edward Witten was awarded for his contribution to knot theory and new invariants of three manifolds, NOT the 1981 proof of positive energy theorem.
Edward Witten is considered a physicist and he was awarded the Fields medal for contributions to knot theory?
@@mst7155 yes.
True
@@mst7155 Yes, he didn't even undergraduate in physics, but in history with anthropology and then in physics.

Thanks for sharing this detail 🤘
1966 was one hell of a year
That's why I've kept 1966 as thumbnail all of them legends !
How to read this much text in video?
not forget Andrew Wiles who solved Fermats last conjecture and could have won a Fields medal
i think field’s medal has age restriction of 40. wiles was 41 when he solved it. i could be completely wrong
Can u guess the field based on the pictures
Oneday I will get it.But I am not a mathematician.
What is the 1st song playing Called???
Idk it was from RUclips
Richard Borcherds, the guy at 1998, actually has a youtube channel where he posts his lessons.

Yes, his lectures are good
Who's your favourite? Comment Below 👇
( Mine Galois )
Edit : Not necessarily a fields Medalist
Mine is Cédric Villani, I even have a photo with him hahaha 😝.
Thurston.
Maryam Mirzakhani, the first and to this date the only woman.
Professor Manjul Bhargava is my favourite, he is really my idol

Perelman declined his 2006 Fields medal.

There was only one woman ?? Why??
Nobody cares
do the work.
Because only one deserved it.

It will change in the future

I thought that Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture, one of the millennium problems..
Yes , he proved it in 2003 and was awarded fields medal in 2006 , but he declined it
Everyone is right: he proved the open part of the Poincare conjecture, using Ricci flows .
Manjul Bhargava and Akshay Venkatesh 🇮🇳

It’s because women generally choose not to go into pure mathematics. Its just facts, they in average like different things then men
@@Tony-cm8lg that's exactly is my point. World mathematics community should encourage more women to join in math.
a woman received the Fields this year
@@kalevala29 Perhaps ICM has seen my comment!
Just one Logician ! ?
One is too much
Cohen wasn't a logician.

Only one woman medallist? Cancel Inc. wants to know your location.
All pretty easy stuff
The Fields Medal is an award restricted to "North Americans" and Europeans.
I’m pretty sure the Asians would have to disagree lol
No. Just mathematics...
Grothendieck was the most peculiar of them all besides he is the only one that merits the tilte of genius besides attia
Only one woman. We need a Quote for Women ^^
Where are the women? Only one i all these yrs..
Only one woman. Why is this ?
Same reason why there was only one seriously competitive woman in chess. It takes a devotion and concentration that few women characters have.
