The most useful thing he said was that symmetries are fundamental and the way we represent them mathematically is via groups. The rest was mostly a gentle mix of sugar water.
This was a pretty good lecture, and he's a good speaker. However, it's unfortunate that he used projector slides for a presentation in 2018. I actually haven't seen these things since I was in high-school over 10 years ago.
@@rebia5542 Most of the time, just chalk, but if people choose to use an electric device to give their presentation, it seems like Smart Boards and Power Points have displaced projectors as the standard tool. Projectors aren't really a serious problem or anything, but it just tends to be easier to read Smart Boards and slide shows. Projectors are often too dim, or too bright, too blurry, etc.
@@n.e.7647 There are other factors that can come into play though. Will you need to give this talk more than once? How much information you need to convey in written form? How comfortable are you at giving this talk extemporaneously?
Thank you very much the intuitive overview which I very much need!
Great video - speaker was very clear and interesting. Thanks for the upload!
great and nice video to learn representation theory
beautiful exposition!

what do you see people use now for presentations?

@@n.e.7647 oh i see, thanks. Im still in high school so i mostly see projector slides and the occasional smart board. Sadly no chalk yet :(
