Londonisboss well I can tell you intellectual people don’t even listen to much music. I myself listen to many genres of music. But without listening to music, you concentrate better and your mind is clearer.
Math is a language to explain. And Algebra itself is pretty new at 9th century, introduced by an Arab Mathematician name Khawarizm on his book named "Al Jabbar". So before that, including at Phytagoras era, the Math as we know it today did not exist
OMG, I am the same!! I watch videos about stuff like linear equations and the polar form of complex numbers and write them down, but the thing is, I can't understand any of it!
Up to my 9th grade ,I am so week in math and I never got a good grade even because, l am not interested and l never practice ,when l come to my 10 th grade, l don't know what happened,l started to work so hard and then my final exam result is that I can't believe in my own eyes because ,l never crossed 70 out of 100 before ,but l got 98:).After that math seems to me so interesting and easy ,l am graduating know .Till know my grade never moved below 90 .It's even not about grade loving a subject means a lot,hard work pays,never give up :)
There is a guy in my class who is exactly like the boy in the second clip. And he is a good friend of mine. Boi he justs looks at a problem and says the answer even if he didn't read the chapter. Till now he has failed in statistics, physics, maths in some tests. In our chemistry lab, he never listens to the teacher. He always wants to do something new. And he is the type of guy who just likes to come and say to me that,"hey, listen post Malone uploaded a video yesterday at 10:01 pm and it had got like ? Views by the next five minutes. I was among the first viewers". This boy is really crazy. If he watches films he watches it from 6 pm to 3 am. He can just finish the whole series. Having such a friend is weird, funny and frustrating as well coz his language is very different. Anyways, I am just an average person. If I personally cannot do anything great then I can atleast help the great ones to do something great. Who cares tho...it's frustrating I know but still...he appreciates me as a friend.
i personally believe anyone can learn to do anything with enough effort and dedication not saying you'll become a genius, but your abilities of problem solving (or any other activity) will certainly increase and even make you become one of the greats, if you just give yourself to it and believe in your progress
some equations are physics but most are just nonsensical; by that I mean random variable/symbols that don't make any sense together. It would have been easy to open a text book and just copy eg Einstein's GR field equations or Maxwell's EM equations for the "chalkboard" but I guess no one cares about that level of authenticity :)
Just a little tip for future film-makers: mathematicians don't actually say "thirty-three point three percent" while talking, they just say "one third" like normal people.
My math teacher was a Professor and Doctor in Mathematics and he explicitly insisted in read all the decimal numbers separately and as precise as possible: 33,34% not thirty three coma thirty four nor one third but thirty three coma three four We use coma instead of point in Germany.
Thank you for the extra one-third percent? Makes no sense to say it that way. He said thank you for the extra 33.3 percent because that's how any normal person would say it.
"whats your name?" "Ben..Ben Campbell" "Well Ben , come to me after hours for some extra credits , what door do you pick Ben , door no1 or door no2 ? "

@@allybally0021 True story. He was pursued because of that and ended up with a successful suicide. Very sad. The man was a genius. To me one of his best works was the math biology paper on the chemical origins of morphogenesis. What a beast!
❣️one of my fav movies eva; i used to fall asleep listening to it, because he became my Sapio-crush after Einstein, & watching/falling asleep listening to Einstein documentaries; & it's a travesty that Alan Turing isn't a household name because the post-modern day era we live in is mostly composed of the fundamental concept behind "Turing Machines" - a.k.a. "computers" ~
Had a mathematics lecturer who, in his first lecture of the semester, offered the class this little gem: "They have a saying in the Special Air Service: Look to the man to your left and the man to your right; by the end of this course, one of those two men will be dead". He was complete nutter, just like *almost* every math teacher I ever had.
I love watching these clips, I get so pumped to go to school on Monday and create some mind-blowing breakthrough to wow my professors and to cement myself in history books forever. Except my professor says "Jarmo, this is a drawing of a stick figure with the words 'Jarmo's theory of stick figures' written under it. And this isn't a school, it's a factory, and i'm not a professor i'm your boss and you're 15 minutes late and your fired."
The car goat game is called the Monty Hall problem. It is a much analysed problem in discrete probability and when the problem came out first, many including the legendary Erdos himself refused to believe that the chance increased to 2/3 by switching. Many doctorates in mathematics criticized the magazine for a "erranous" solution. They all believed that the chance was a mere 50-50, so switch or not, chances remain the same. For Erdos, he only came to trust the solution after a computer simulation proved the correctness. Interesting problem to talk on especially when it's Kevin Spacey who is discussing it. A pity he turned out to be a slave of his lust. I really liked him. :(
It sucks the way it's presented here. A teacher would most likely ask the entire class and let a little debate start. Most people would get it wrong. Then maybe some brilliant kid would give the right answer.
While " Good Will Hunting " used mathematics as the backdrop, or a theme for the movie, it's main plot/focus was a troubled young man that isolated himself in his own thought palace. The character Will ( played by Matt Damon ) related to his preoccupation with mathematics and expressed his frustration with interpersonal relationships via anger & violence. Good Will Hunting celebrated mathematics and academic achievement. However, it was not the primary purpose of the movie.
For those who did not understand why he swapped the door in the movie 21 let me explain, each door has 33.3% of chance in the beginning so door 1 has 33.3% and door 2 + door 3 has 66.6% of chance. Since door 3 was revealed and it does not have the car, the 66.6% altogether goes to door 2 and hence has more chances of having the car.
I'm an idiot so please take that into account but I don't agree. Once one door is opened and he is asked to pick again he shouldn't switch because it doesn't matter, there is a 50/50 chance he will be right with whatever he chooses. How can you transfer probability from door 3 to door 2? Why doesn't it transfer to door #1? Once door 3 is opened it is removed from being a possibility and now you only have 2 doors at a 50/50 split.
The newton raphson method is a doddle to derive. Inventing the technique is where the genius comes in. I never knew raphson did it first, very interesting.
21 - This problem was originally solved by Marilyn Mach Vos Savant. Pretty famous story because A LOT of mathematicians piled on and said she was wrong. A year later most of them wrote retractions because, as it turned out via millions of computer simulations, she was exactly right.
Re: "The Game Show" it might be clearer to think of it as the host offering to trade the 2 doors not chosen for the 1 door that was. Opening one of the two unselected doors does not change the fact that there was a 67% chance that the winning door was one of these 2. Just think of it as having 100 doors, with only one prize. You only have a 1% chance of selecting the right door. Now the host opens 98 doors, leaving only 1 door plus the door you picked. Would you then switch if you could? Of course!
Jim Kelley why would you then switch? The 2 doors that are left have just as much probability of being right. If 98 doors are removed, then you now have a 50% chance of getting it right. I don’t understand why you have to switch in order to increase your chances, the moment other options are taken away your chances increase no matter if you stay or switch. And honestly, the game show host probably was trying to trick you into switching, so if you switch you get screwed with the goat.
Do you know about the Monty-Hall-Dilemma. The Scene was basically about it and the equations had nothing to do with it. It‘s pretty easy probability calculation but the movie made it look impressive.
@@federicodellimmagine3676 The thing is black jack isnt comparable to the example here. It's about betting high when you have increased odds of winning and betting low when your odds of winning are decreased. That is literally the point of card counting in blackjack. The fact is, whether he changed his choice or not after one door was revealed, his odds were the same whether he stayed with his original choice or switched.
The third movie was weird, they're talking about numerical optimization and Newton's method and then Kevin Spacey switches to probabilities, an entirely different topic.
@@keshav1321 Sure, it's not intuitive. Best way to think about it is to imagine that there are 100 doors. You pick one, which has a 1% chance of having the new car. Then the game-show host opens all the other closed doors (which have goats), except door number 63. Door 63 sure looks suspicious. In the event you were right initially (1% chance), you should stick with your initial guess. But in the event you were wrong (99% chance), then the new car has to be behind door 63, the only other door still closed.
I graduated as an engineer back in 2010 but I remember in my Cal 2 course most of the students struggled with double integrals, squences and series except me and another guy in the class. Needless to say only him and I passed Cal 2 everyone else failed. True story.
The question is, how badly did you flunk English? I was a technical writer in the computer industry for over 35 years because engineers and programmers cannot structure a sentence properly. My first boss told me that he could teach a decent writer enough of the "tech stuff" to write user manuals and other essential documents, while he couldn't teach the tech folks to write a decent sentence because they didn't think it was important. Both sides of the equation are important. The difference is, I recognized that. Too bad most of the commenters do not. Proper punctuation and good grammar are essential to clear and concise communication.
How to write a math movie: *impressive but simple problem I learned on RUclips* *I am a humble underdog and a genius* *Omg this kid is a genius and will change the world*
How is this list missing The Imitation Game? Even if you say it's a bit more about early digital computing than mathematics, Alan Turing was a mathematician and computer science and mathematics are so beautifully intertwined anyways. I seldom get emotional over movies but The Imitation Game is was so touching, I cried watching it towards the end, and I almost never cry watching movies.
@@malgepranay333 that you should achieve something that you can be proud of. Not just taking the fact that you were born in a country with one good scientist.
I don't understand the reasoning behind the 3 doors exercise. While I understand that knowing that one of three options means you have doubled your chances from the first question, the first question no longer applies. After door #3 is revealed to have a goat, there are only two options left, which is a new set of statistics. To my thinking, it's not the 66% chance from the first set of circumstances anymore, it's now a whole new question between just two doors, which is a 50/50 proposition. I don't understand why the statistics from the first circumstances still somehow apply to the 2nd set of circumstances (one out of three, vs. one out of two). Can someone please explain this? Also this seems to directly contradict something else I've heard about statistics and probabilities, which is that, after flipping a coin 7 times, and getting 7 consecutive "heads" in a row, what are the odds of getting "heads" on the 8th coin toss? Answer: Exactly 50/50. Previous results have no bearing on the question on the current coin toss. So if this is true, then the example in this movie cannot be true.
Imagine if instead of 3 doors there was a billion. You choose the 1 door out of a billion. What are the chances that you chose the correct door? 1 out of a billion. Then imagine that the host opened every other door except for one (now only two doors closed). Now you're given the choice to re-choose. Would you bet on the fact that you got it correctly the first time or would you swap? You would definitely not think that you got it correct with a 0.0000001% success rate. This is where you might now say "Well now it's just a 50/50." Well is it really? The probability of your first choice hasn't changed. It's still 1 out of a billion. But the dealer has helped you out by eliminating all the other choices, leaving you with just two doors. So now you have a choice between 1 out of a billion and 999,999,999 out of a billion. Which do you choose? It comes down to whether you think the second decision is dependent on the first, or whether the second decision is independent on the first. The second decision is, in fact, dependent on the first. If your first decision chose a goat (66% chance) always swapping will get you a car, because Monty opened the door with the other goat, and always keeping will get you the goat you originally chose. If your first decision chose a car (33% chance) always swapping will get you a goat, cause you already chose the car, and always keeping will get you the car you originally chose. So, would you rather get a car 33% of the time when you always keep your original decision, or would you rather get a car 66% of the time when you always swap your original decision. It's easier if you start with the probabilities of your second decision first, and then the probabilities of your first decision second. This is from someone else's (two people's) comment... i think they explained it well.
Math is like poetry but the only difference is that a poet tries to get hi mind into heaven but a mathematician tries to get heaven into his mind. Love maths
I' really confused if the guys in the comments (except for Ülv) are having, what they think is a banter show or are just genuinely new to internet/film or any piece of technology
It's cuz that's how long it takes to get to that level of mathematical understanding 😂 hahaha not really, but close... I'm a student studying at a community college for an ast in engineering to take to a 4 university, to get the ast, the "2 year" college stay is actually 4-5 years, just to fulfill the math requirement 😅 haha and the kicker? Those math courses are pretty much just introductory level stuff, at the University I'd be looking at another 2-3 for my undergrad, and another 6 for my doctorate, if I aim for one lol. But I started college at 24, so add on 4 to that, I'll be 28ish before I even start at the University 😅
Hi Stephen. I know you're partly joking, but your numbers look inflated. I wouldn't presume to speak to your situation, but for students who are going straight for a Ph.D. in math-the scenario relevant to the scene we're watching-it's 4 years for the B.S. and another 4 years for the Ph.D. New Ph.D. 's in math are typically in their mid-to-late-twenties.
@@alwaysuseless haha I was honestly just basing my numbers off what was given to me by an advisor that came from a university that started at our school, he's currently pursuing a PhD and the numbers I gave were kind of taking the time he expects and molding it to my own, lol since I won't even start a university till I'm around 28, and won't begin a pursuit into a PhD until 3 or 4 years after that, since I'd be getting my undergrad first and kind of go from there as to whether I want the grad or not, similar to his own lol, but yea in general my numbers are kind of inflated, mainly because of the scheduling the classes at my current school have, they're not very streamlined... I'm aiming for an ast of mechanical engineering, but the courses I need (other than math) follow a sequence and are only offered one quarter a year, they also require a certain level of math to take, so if you don't have that level yet, you can only wait a year, I basically started my math sequence one quarter too late and so have to spend the next year on the electrical engineering track before returning to mechanical, which kind of "wastes" a year (was wanting to take the electrical classes too tbh, but concurrently with my mechanical)
@@stephenbutler4399 I realize this is going to sound fake, but I am actually a first year graduate student at Princeton's department of physics and am pursuing a PhD right now! This is me: phy.princeton.edu/people/suren-gourapura I'd like to say that it certainly does not take 30-40 years to start the first year in physics here. I started immediately after undergrad at Ohio State University, which I finished in a standard 4 years. International students tend to earn a masters in Physics before attending here, which increases their age by 2-3 years, but still right around 25-26 at the latest. I presume our mind is most ripe for learning right around the 20s, so starting after 30 is perhaps a disadvantage. Also, you might have a family by then, which may not leave enough time for research. Perhaps it was around the 30s back then though?
I have two question about the 21 scene. Lets say he chose door A The host opens door C Does it make a difference If he stays at A or change to B? Cuz he will still get to open 66.7% of the doors. 2nd question is, dosent he get 50% chance of getting the door right at the second try? He has a choice between 2 doors the 3rd door is gone. I understand 2/3 is 66% but at the end he chose between 2 doors 1/2 50%.
Yes, it does make a difference. No, it's not 50%. It's difficult to understand why, but it's easy to prove. It has stumped many mathematicians Best thing is for you to have a look at Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem) for a good explanation.
It's not that difficult to understand why when it's explained properly, the biggest problem is overthinking it or perhaps thinking someone is talking in more depth than they actually are. I have 2 ways I can explain it for you: Slightly more complex explanation; Imagine a chart with all the different combinations of 2 false doors and 1 real door. 2/3 of the time you will pick an incorrect door, and so whenever you pick an incorrect door, provided the host always opens a fake door, you will be left with the correct answer. This means that 2/3 of the time, when you pick an incorrect answer you are guaranteed to switch to the correct answer. The 1/3 of the time you lose is when you actually guess the right answer first time. Less complex; It's basically, 2/3 of the time you will pick an incorrect answer. That means that provided the host always picks a wrong answer, 2/3 of the time the host will leave you with the correct answer (because you have a 2/3 chance at picking an incorrect answer, thus the host will pick the wrong option and leave you with the correct option). If you pick #1 and that's the correct door, if you switch you will lose. If the right door is still #1 and you pick #2 or #3, then the host will always get rid of a wrong answer, and leave you with the correct answer BUT, that of course only happens 2/3 of the time when you don't guess the right answer to begin with. I find it's easier to explain why it is 2/3 to win rather than why it isn't 1/2, because to understand why it isn't 1/2 you really need to understand first why it IS 2/3, lol.
without explaining the math, let me try this way. 1. You understand that you have 1/3 chance of picking the car and winning. 2. You understand that you have a 2/3 chance of picking the goat and losing. 3. You know that the host is going to pick a losing door to show you a goat and then will let you pick again. Once the host shows you the losing door and the goat, just ask yourself a simple question: Based on your first selection, were you more likely to pick the goat or the car? Obviously, you're more likely to pick a losing door and pick a goat because it was initially a 66% chance. That means, if you picked the goat (2/3) and switch you are guaranteed to win. In other words you'll win 66% of the time if you switch because chances are you picked the goat to begin with. If you stay on your initial selection, then you're banking on your 33% chance to win because you think you picked the car. So switching gives you a 66% chance to win, staying gives you a 33%. If you're still having problems, the understanding doesn't rest within choosing doors 1, 2, or 3 in a single effort. The understanding comes in playing out multiple simulations of choosing doors 1, 2, or 3. If you look at those simulations multiple times, you'll understand that switching actually gives you a 66% chance. People who switch win 2/3 of the times while people who stay win 1/3 of the times.

There is a guy in my class who is exactly like the boy in the second clip. And he is a good friend of mine. Boi he justs looks at a problem and says the answer even if he didn't read the chapter. Till now he has failed in statistics, physics, maths in some tests. In our chemistry lab, he never listens to the teacher. He always wants to do something new. And he is the type of guy who just likes to come and say to me that,"hey, listen post Malone uploaded a video yesterday at 10:01 pm and it had got like ? Views by the next five minutes.

You might be "avrage" at math, but you're definitely shite at English.
..
Clearly, English is your strong suit.
Just a little tip for future film-makers: mathematicians don't actually say "thirty-three point three percent" while talking, they just say "one third" like normal people.
which would be incorrect
My math teacher was a Professor and Doctor in Mathematics and he explicitly insisted in read all the decimal numbers separately and as precise as possible:
33,34%
not thirty three coma thirty four
nor one third
but thirty three coma three four
We use coma instead of point in Germany.
They had to dumb it down. Not sure a lot of people would know that two thirds is greater than one third because of fractions.
Uhh, yeah they do. You've never taken a maths class higher than high-school I assume?
Thank you for the extra one-third percent? Makes no sense to say it that way. He said thank you for the extra 33.3 percent because that's how any normal person would say it.

The car goat game is called the Monty Hall problem. It is a much analysed problem in discrete probability and when the problem came out first, many including the legendary Erdos himself refused to believe that the chance increased to 2/3 by switching. Many doctorates in mathematics criticized the magazine for a "erranous" solution. They all believed that the chance was a mere 50-50, so switch or not, chances remain the same. For Erdos, he only came to trust the solution after a computer simulation proved the correctness. Interesting problem to talk on especially when it's Kevin Spacey who is discussing it. A pity he turned out to be a slave of his lust. I really liked him. :(
It sucks the way it's presented here. A teacher would most likely ask the entire class and let a little debate start. Most people would get it wrong. Then maybe some brilliant kid would give the right answer.
It is very counterintuitive. I had hard times to grasp it. Now that I know the solution it seems stupid easy.
We are watching good will hunting in english class now, I love the movie, is so much more than just math.
math. is so much more than we thinking
While " Good Will Hunting " used mathematics as the backdrop, or a theme for the movie, it's main plot/focus was a troubled young man that isolated himself in his own thought palace. The character Will ( played by Matt Damon ) related to his preoccupation with mathematics and expressed his frustration with interpersonal relationships via anger & violence. Good Will Hunting celebrated mathematics and academic achievement. However, it was not the primary purpose of the movie.
Damn Allen! You spoiled the movie! Wait...you're 21 years too late. Lol
Allen of Atlanta
..and your point is....
Allen of Atlanta yes...indeed. I agree /w you
so is the case with 21!
Allen of Atlanta True. I was a little disappointed at the end. But it's a good movie
For those who did not understand why he swapped the door in the movie 21 let me explain, each door has 33.3% of chance in the beginning so door 1 has 33.3% and door 2 + door 3 has 66.6% of chance. Since door 3 was revealed and it does not have the car, the 66.6% altogether goes to door 2 and hence has more chances of having the car.
I'm an idiot so please take that into account but I don't agree. Once one door is opened and he is asked to pick again he shouldn't switch because it doesn't matter, there is a 50/50 chance he will be right with whatever he chooses. How can you transfer probability from door 3 to door 2? Why doesn't it transfer to door #1? Once door 3 is opened it is removed from being a possibility and now you only have 2 doors at a 50/50 split.
Dedication, sweating, crying & then recognition 🙏🙏👏👏

21 - This problem was originally solved by Marilyn Mach Vos Savant. Pretty famous story because A LOT of mathematicians piled on and said she was wrong. A year later most of them wrote retractions because, as it turned out via millions of computer simulations, she was exactly right.
Re: "The Game Show" it might be clearer to think of it as the host offering to trade the 2 doors not chosen for the 1 door that was.
Opening one of the two unselected doors does not change the fact that there was a 67% chance that the winning door was one of these 2.
Just think of it as having 100 doors, with only one prize. You only have a 1% chance of selecting the right door. Now the host opens 98 doors, leaving
only 1 door plus the door you picked. Would you then switch if you could? Of course!
Jim Kelley why would you then switch? The 2 doors that are left have just as much probability of being right. If 98 doors are removed, then you now have a 50% chance of getting it right. I don’t understand why you have to switch in order to increase your chances, the moment other options are taken away your chances increase no matter if you stay or switch. And honestly, the game show host probably was trying to trick you into switching, so if you switch you get screwed with the goat.

Do you know about the Monty-Hall-Dilemma. The Scene was basically about it and the equations had nothing to do with it. It‘s pretty easy probability calculation but the movie made it look impressive.
@@federicodellimmagine3676 The thing is black jack isnt comparable to the example here. It's about betting high when you have increased odds of winning and betting low when your odds of winning are decreased. That is literally the point of card counting in blackjack. The fact is, whether he changed his choice or not after one door was revealed, his odds were the same whether he stayed with his original choice or switched.
How about “The Imitation Game”?

But plz explain me why door no. 2 ... I mean he still has a chance of 66.7% on door no. 1 .... Plz help
@@keshav1321 Sure, it's not intuitive. Best way to think about it is to imagine that there are 100 doors. You pick one, which has a 1% chance of having the new car. Then the game-show host opens all the other closed doors (which have goats), except door number 63. Door 63 sure looks suspicious. In the event you were right initially (1% chance), you should stick with your initial guess. But in the event you were wrong (99% chance), then the new car has to be behind door 63, the only other door still closed.

Great story, Who was the bad teacher
The question is, how badly did you flunk English? I was a technical writer in the computer industry for over 35 years because engineers and programmers cannot structure a sentence properly. My first boss told me that he could teach a decent writer enough of the "tech stuff" to write user manuals and other essential documents, while he couldn't teach the tech folks to write a decent sentence because they didn't think it was important. Both sides of the equation are important. The difference is, I recognized that. Too bad most of the commenters do not. Proper punctuation and good grammar are essential to clear and concise communication.

I don't understand the reasoning behind the 3 doors exercise. While I understand that knowing that one of three options means you have doubled your chances from the first question, the first question no longer applies. After door #3 is revealed to have a goat, there are only two options left, which is a new set of statistics. To my thinking, it's not the 66% chance from the first set of circumstances anymore, it's now a whole new question between just two doors, which is a 50/50 proposition. I don't understand why the statistics from the first circumstances still somehow apply to the 2nd set of circumstances (one out of three, vs. one out of two).
Can someone please explain this?
Also this seems to directly contradict something else I've heard about statistics and probabilities, which is that, after flipping a coin 7 times, and getting 7 consecutive "heads" in a row, what are the odds of getting "heads" on the 8th coin toss? Answer: Exactly 50/50. Previous results have no bearing on the question on the current coin toss. So if this is true, then the example in this movie cannot be true.
I said the same thing it will became 50/50 because we dont have 3 choices anymore but 2 !! I need an explanation too
Imagine if instead of 3 doors there was a billion. You choose the 1 door out of a billion. What are the chances that you chose the correct door? 1 out of a billion. Then imagine that the host opened every other door except for one (now only two doors closed). Now you're given the choice to re-choose. Would you bet on the fact that you got it correctly the first time or would you swap? You would definitely not think that you got it correct with a 0.0000001% success rate. This is where you might now say "Well now it's just a 50/50." Well is it really? The probability of your first choice hasn't changed. It's still 1 out of a billion. But the dealer has helped you out by eliminating all the other choices, leaving you with just two doors. So now you have a choice between 1 out of a billion and 999,999,999 out of a billion. Which do you choose?
It comes down to whether you think the second decision is dependent on the first, or whether the second decision is independent on the first. The second decision is, in fact, dependent on the first. If your first decision chose a goat (66% chance) always swapping will get you a car, because Monty opened the door with the other goat, and always keeping will get you the goat you originally chose. If your first decision chose a car (33% chance) always swapping will get you a goat, cause you already chose the car, and always keeping will get you the car you originally chose. So, would you rather get a car 33% of the time when you always keep your original decision, or would you rather get a car 66% of the time when you always swap your original decision. It's easier if you start with the probabilities of your second decision first, and then the probabilities of your first decision second.
This is from someone else's (two people's) comment... i think they explained it well.

All the "new students" at Princeton in the last film look like they're 30-40 years old.
It's cuz that's how long it takes to get to that level of mathematical understanding 😂 hahaha not really, but close... I'm a student studying at a community college for an ast in engineering to take to a 4 university, to get the ast, the "2 year" college stay is actually 4-5 years, just to fulfill the math requirement 😅 haha and the kicker? Those math courses are pretty much just introductory level stuff, at the University I'd be looking at another 2-3 for my undergrad, and another 6 for my doctorate, if I aim for one lol. But I started college at 24, so add on 4 to that, I'll be 28ish before I even start at the University 😅
Hi Stephen. I know you're partly joking, but your numbers look inflated. I wouldn't presume to speak to your situation, but for students who are going straight for a Ph.D. in math-the scenario relevant to the scene we're watching-it's 4 years for the B.S. and another 4 years for the Ph.D. New Ph.D. 's in math are typically in their mid-to-late-twenties.
@@alwaysuseless haha I was honestly just basing my numbers off what was given to me by an advisor that came from a university that started at our school, he's currently pursuing a PhD and the numbers I gave were kind of taking the time he expects and molding it to my own, lol since I won't even start a university till I'm around 28, and won't begin a pursuit into a PhD until 3 or 4 years after that, since I'd be getting my undergrad first and kind of go from there as to whether I want the grad or not, similar to his own lol, but yea in general my numbers are kind of inflated, mainly because of the scheduling the classes at my current school have, they're not very streamlined... I'm aiming for an ast of mechanical engineering, but the courses I need (other than math) follow a sequence and are only offered one quarter a year, they also require a certain level of math to take, so if you don't have that level yet, you can only wait a year, I basically started my math sequence one quarter too late and so have to spend the next year on the electrical engineering track before returning to mechanical, which kind of "wastes" a year (was wanting to take the electrical classes too tbh, but concurrently with my mechanical)
@@stephenbutler4399 I realize this is going to sound fake, but I am actually a first year graduate student at Princeton's department of physics and am pursuing a PhD right now! This is me: phy.princeton.edu/people/suren-gourapura
I'd like to say that it certainly does not take 30-40 years to start the first year in physics here. I started immediately after undergrad at Ohio State University, which I finished in a standard 4 years. International students tend to earn a masters in Physics before attending here, which increases their age by 2-3 years, but still right around 25-26 at the latest. I presume our mind is most ripe for learning right around the 20s, so starting after 30 is perhaps a disadvantage. Also, you might have a family by then, which may not leave enough time for research. Perhaps it was around the 30s back then though?

YOU SCARED ME AT THE END!!!
I have two question about the 21 scene.
Lets say he chose door A
The host opens door C
Does it make a difference If he stays at A or change to B? Cuz he will still get to open 66.7% of the doors.
2nd question is, dosent he get 50% chance of getting the door right at the second try?
He has a choice between 2 doors the 3rd door is gone. I understand 2/3 is 66% but at the end he chose between 2 doors 1/2 50%.
Yes, it does make a difference. No, it's not 50%. It's difficult to understand why, but it's easy to prove. It has stumped many mathematicians Best thing is for you to have a look at Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem) for a good explanation.
It's not that difficult to understand why when it's explained properly, the biggest problem is overthinking it or perhaps thinking someone is talking in more depth than they actually are. I have 2 ways I can explain it for you:
Slightly more complex explanation;
Imagine a chart with all the different combinations of 2 false doors and 1 real door. 2/3 of the time you will pick an incorrect door, and so whenever you pick an incorrect door, provided the host always opens a fake door, you will be left with the correct answer. This means that 2/3 of the time, when you pick an incorrect answer you are guaranteed to switch to the correct answer. The 1/3 of the time you lose is when you actually guess the right answer first time.
Less complex;
It's basically, 2/3 of the time you will pick an incorrect answer. That means that provided the host always picks a wrong answer, 2/3 of the time the host will leave you with the correct answer (because you have a 2/3 chance at picking an incorrect answer, thus the host will pick the wrong option and leave you with the correct option).
If you pick #1 and that's the correct door, if you switch you will lose. If the right door is still #1 and you pick #2 or #3, then the host will always get rid of a wrong answer, and leave you with the correct answer BUT, that of course only happens 2/3 of the time when you don't guess the right answer to begin with.
I find it's easier to explain why it is 2/3 to win rather than why it isn't 1/2, because to understand why it isn't 1/2 you really need to understand first why it IS 2/3, lol.
check out the monty hall problem
without explaining the math, let me try this way.
1. You understand that you have 1/3 chance of picking the car and winning.
2. You understand that you have a 2/3 chance of picking the goat and losing.
3. You know that the host is going to pick a losing door to show you a goat and then will let you pick again.
Once the host shows you the losing door and the goat, just ask yourself a simple question: Based on your first selection, were you more likely to pick the goat or the car? Obviously, you're more likely to pick a losing door and pick a goat because it was initially a 66% chance. That means, if you picked the goat (2/3) and switch you are guaranteed to win. In other words you'll win 66% of the time if you switch because chances are you picked the goat to begin with.
If you stay on your initial selection, then you're banking on your 33% chance to win because you think you picked the car.
So switching gives you a 66% chance to win, staying gives you a 33%.
If you're still having problems, the understanding doesn't rest within choosing doors 1, 2, or 3 in a single effort. The understanding comes in playing out multiple simulations of choosing doors 1, 2, or 3. If you look at those simulations multiple times, you'll understand that switching actually gives you a 66% chance. People who switch win 2/3 of the times while people who stay win 1/3 of the times.
I agree, has to be a 50/50 chance NOW
