HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2019
- Our Open Days are intended to give an insight in to Maths at Oxford, whether you are a potential applicant or are just curious. In this talk to an audience of sixth-formers (High School students) and their families, Vicky Neale gives a glimpse of the undergraduate Pure Maths courses through the lens of elliptic curves.
RUclips is overestimating me putting this in my recommendations
same
mr i appreciate this recommendation
😂😂😂
me too
preach
I only understood that the board is moving up and down.
Lol... same here
Which country from you are?
Jadab Mandal Which country are you from*
I am from Austria and you?
You are genius !!!!!
Do I speak fluent English?
No.
Do I understand math on this level?
No.
Do I like to way she explain this?
Of course.
Man you're amazing
me too
I wouldn't consider myself as a fluent just about B2 speaker.
But the Math wasn't difficult actually.. at least to understand what is she doing. Sure making it yourself is difficult, there is no doubt.
I liked it as well but I am a bit disappointed she did a part.
Me HAHJAJSHAK
No
Isn't anybody going to appreciate how good a lecturer she is?
No you're the only one, well done have a ginger bread man
I don’t understand what she’s saying but I like listening to her.
You lost me at “morning everybody”
Morning?
Good comment👍
It's afternoon here...
Hahahahaha
LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Why did I voluntarily click on this video.
This is the internet. Nothing you do is voluntary. Nothing.
You are evolving
Or did you? Hey michael Vsauce here.
U wanted to tell your friends u had something to do with oxford
I think oxford students have a easier life because their professors r way more fascinated about their module and they r able to explain it better
Finally someone said it! Like your point of view. People keep complaining about how hard they will find studies and courses in Oxford and other high ranked universities.
Alexander Hamdiken yes
Remember though that what oxbridge covers in first year tends to be a hell of a lot more than any other unis
@@carrotmandoespixelmon1296 I'd prefer an Oxford hell rather than other hells. The point is that if the teachers are fascinated with their specialities and ecourage the students, as a natural consequence, the students will do all the possible effort. Hope I made the point clear
CarrotmanDoesPixelmon r u studying at oxford?
why am i watching this. i just failed my maths gcse
ehfos AQA sold your personal data to RUclips and therefore, your being recommended a video about Pure Mathematics.
kainan harrison holy fuck Illuminati confirmed
I failed math GCSE and now doing this stuff. You have plenty of time to catch up.
I'm doing A Level maths and now I have this in my recommendations
@Dave David you literally failed your maths
Maths is a wonderful subject!
The key to learning maths is mastering the basics before you move on higher up.
Most folk get intimated by maths simply because they don't master foundation topics which more advance levels rely on.
Vicky Neale has a very charismatic way of talking about maths.
Well said Owl!
ikr, if you want to understand things, you must know their origins. With those, your imaginations and logic will always make sense
So right. I'm in calc 2, and half of the time, we're doing college algebra.
@@front331
When you say algebra, are you referring to calculus?
Wym
Yeah yeah Pythagoras ennit
Drama Queen this made me laugh so hard haha
😂😂😂
Lmao
LMAO when she said “I’m a mathematician so i’m rather lazy”, that reminded me of all my math teachers who ALWAYS call themselves lazy because they’re math teachers 💀💀💀
oh my god my math teacher is always saying that in our lessons!!!!!
@@jaisonthomas4306 can you clarify what that means ?
@@miladibrahim1068 yh sure I think!! Basically, the maths teachers are always calling themselves lazy because they want to try and teach us new techniques to shorten our solving time to each equation.
However, it never works with our me!!
@@miladibrahim1068 I hope I enlightened you with the knowledge produced from my very last brain cells!!
@@jaisonthomas4306 oh I see
Listen on x2 speed
If you want your brain to explode
Come on !... Speed @ x0.5 is enough to overheat up my brain CPU and might get damaged.
@@ahmedalshalchi your brain does not have a central processing unit
Imagination TM ... So what does it have as you might think please ??
@@ahmedalshalchi The central processing unit is found in a computers hardrive and it is basically the brain of a computer it is also called a main micro processor. Unlike humans our brain works differently to a computers brain. Our brain is split into three sections the cerebrum the cerrebellum and the brainstem. They work independently doing a specific function.
Imagination TM ... and which part is responsible for doing math and logic ?
Suddenly your med degree looks kind of easy 😅
It's just dense, abstract thinking is difficult
@Dan what kind of thinking are you referring to? And say you dont have it... how would you get there
@Dan @dan stop talking shit...medicine is the hardest degree
@@sibabalwempukuzela755 medicine doesn't require the thinking you need in maths. Its just tons and tons of content for example you can work your ass off and get a medicine degree but in maths no matter how hard you work there will always be equations you just wont be able to answer and that's what maths is about. Top doctors do not have the intellect top mathematitions do
@mica cica yh intellectually it's harder. But much less mental perseverance is required. My dads a GP and he is always envious of my oldest brother in the sense that he can never solve the type of equations my bro does
youtube : watch this
me : why?
youtube : i don't know, just watch this
I work for a classroom support team, and I can't even fathom what that board is made out of. Fascinating.
Jennifer Kerber it‘s basically a flexible whiteboard
Excuse me, how can l get lectures of civil engineering? Can you help me,please?
Understood what she did, but no way would I have ever been able to deduce that lmao.
I lost her at that hcf part and then completely during that elliptical curve thingy 🤦♂️😭
Random Dude ooh my opening o
With algebra 1 you can reach 3 mins into this video.
Yeah, more like algebruh, am I right?
i thought math proffesors use chalk
hagoromo chalk to be exact
Krystian Golus is that the one they stockpiled
Krystian Golus LOL! I see you’ve been on that RUclips recommendation trip
I watch another lecture series at Oxford and they use white boards too.
Doughboy ahahahha i’ve been
As the wise farmer from Napolean Dynamite said ...
"I don't understand a word you just said."
Nice place to use the quote
i don’t even like maths that much but her passion for the subject and the way she explains thing is so calming.
I had her as a lecturer as an Undergrad, she is a really good lecturer!
She’s pretty cool is she nice ?
@@alaskaj9786 yeah she is
What's her name? I want to explore her other lectures as well
@@tanvi.madhaw Vicky Neale
good thing i didnt go to uni i wouldnt be able to unsterstand anything they say like that
I literally watched this entire video and the passion she has for her subject is so fascinating, One can really see how excited she gets from this!
I’m halfway through the lecture and I’ll have to say this is amazing! You deduced so much from a very simple equation. Unbelievable.
Oh boy. RUclips is sending some hints I should take my math class seriously.
The asnwer - “the limit does not exist”
It's not mean girls 😂😂
BrokenBauccner So rude. It’s not like he has ESPN or something
That’s so fetch
@@mhs90 what's rude in that...you calling me rude without any reason is soo rude..
@@brokenbauccner3945 it was a quote from Mean Girls! Lol
Hey
I think it is the good activity to show all the world about the true skills of mathematicians working at oxford university.I want to suggest that mathematicians at oxford should make a video lectures on the specific topics of mathematics which are delivering in the class.I hope you will uploads more videos about mathematical world.
Thanks
11:11 I'm a mathematician so I'm kind of lazy.
Said by literally every math teacher.
This is absolutely accurate
Ham Fan exactly
Julian you in da maths?
Julian it’s hard to explain simultaneously to my employer that I am lazy; and that is good.
The bounce in her step at the end mirrors how I feel after watching this. Thank you Vicky, you make complicated topics and ideas lucid. Thanks thanks thanks
I love these lectures. They’re a good way to spend my summer!
So weird for a woman ...
All things in moderation. Do other stuff too.
Bruhhh!
@@ahmedalshalchi That's insultating and sexist
Luis Santiago .... How could you understand it as insult ?!!... It is very common to my culture that women have no any interest in such topics and especially for holiday times in summer. I haven't insult anybody , just showed my astonishment.
Absolutely a con job!!! She puts so much grace into otherwise a really mentally chanllenging subject!!! Hats off to her presentation, wish i had her as my lecturer!!
I suddenly feel the irresistible urge to apply as a (very) mature student simply to attend this lady’s lectures!
She says the lecture is for 30 minutes
Run time 27:41
That's how the mafia works
Every math prof
Ha! xD
Thats taking into mind if anyone has a doubt, or maybe she made a mistake by making -1 a +1 so thats why she assumes more, however students are completely thorough with whatever language she's teaching
Her: It's fantastic to see loads of you here
*Stares joyfully to all 5 people present*
I'm not focusing on her, i just listen on her breath
Jean ridha abdillah fuck off 😂 now I can’t focus on her talking
Jeanboy ❤️
I told my undergrad math advisor I was thinking about med school. He told me not to waste my time. Now I have an applied math PhD and my MD brother makes twice as much and has much better stories.
Hey Vicky. I'm pretty good with logic (research design etc), but sadly didn't pursue advanced maths at school. I've seen some of your public lectures (e.g. LMS) and your joyful energy is infectious. I get my maths from public lectures, "In Our Time" and a couple of Open University maths courses I did. But if I had half your energy and enthusiasm, I'd be a happy man. I think of pure maths as equivalent to a language. Keep making vids. 👍🏻
Imagine a math professor actually explaining the math well
have you heard the name, Grant Sanderson?
@@agrajyadav2951 no
I wish I deeply understood these topics to truly appreciate her teaching, what a fantastic woman.
I didn't think I could fall in love with Maths anymore than I already have, but I just did. Thank you!
saddened to see that she passed away already, in fact only 5 days prior to when i was listening to this... :( what a fantastic teacher....
I watch RUclips in my break time while I'm studying maths but RUclips algorithm shows me maths even I'm not studying. Thanks a lot YT.
RIP Vicky Neale 1984 - 2023.
i was actually in that lecture hall and saw this live
Did you understand anything?
@@meghaseth5815 nope 😂
Same, right at the front lol
I'm so sorry
this is pure bliss, a true maths class.
Vicky Neale Sadly Passed away last month, I will forever be heartbroken, what a fabulous lecturer she was.
i just learned, i'm quite shocked
She is excellent wish she taught when i did my degree. May her teaching videos be part of her legacy.
I already watched this lady on another 50 min. video. I like how she talks, it relaxed me...Even though I cannot understand nothing.
Who else here is fascinated at how many Americans are fascinated about the white boards? Lol
Edit: I went to a normal primary school and a go to a normal grammar school so I’m pretty sure we all had these
Nope
why was this in my recommended when i’m currently on my way to failing maths gcse
same
It’s a sign that you aren’t. Maths gcse requires problem solving. Most of the material isn’t actually that hard. But the questions can be
@@gamma_dablam the hardest part of maths in general is knowing where to start and how to get to your answer. Actually calculating stuff is easier(though you may lose marks on rounding or whatever)
Really this is the best way to understand any types of math... thanks to the Professor for giving us best easy techniques... 💗
And I’m over here struggling with maths GCSE
Low iq
xUkayDesigns maybe the person has neuronal pathways which places them at a disadvantage in math but at a great advantage in other topics
@@MrHosterX33 you say that but you dont have the full context they might be struggling because they want a top grade like an 8 or a 9 which is perfectly valid because 8s and 9s are hard to get
@@ceres4478 8s or 9s rely less on getting the harder questions correct and more on not messing up and making easy to avoid mistakes. Getting up to a 7 is easy with little to no revision. 8 requires some slowing down and more thinking to pick up marks, and 9 requires you to be a able to understmand every question and even if you dont conpletely answer the question at least getting half the marks (basically the last 2 questions)
@@ceres4478 nah, a 9 in GCSE Maths should be ez for anyone considering Maths at COWI (Cambridge/Oxford/Warwick/Imperial). I never touched my textbook, I just did the occasional past questions, and I did one of my papers in less than half the time and spent the rest of it going over my revision for my other exam that day in my head, and in the end I lost 4 marks out of 240, one or two of which were dumb mistakes I realised as soon as I left the exam hall. Currently in year 2 of Maths and Further Maths A level and have the MAT in a month, and I actually have to put effort into the MAT and certain parts of Further, especially the MAT which I am legitimately anxious about. And there are people in my classes who are definitely better at certain areas of maths than me, and I’ve never done anything past the Senior Maths Challenge (while many others applying for COWI will also have done the BMO etc)
I did Biochemistry at Aberdeen University. The UKs 5th oldest university. I did maths in 1st year. The maths lectures were equally enthusiastic. Specialists tend to be enthusiastic.
I can't understand anything
Ngl this all makes sense and now I wanna go to Oxford just to take their projective geometry class. That part was the most interesting.
this professor is insanely good at teaching and even though i cant understand it i can tell by her enthusiasm that shes good.
Seriously your the best teacher I have ever seen....
A very well done lecture. Wish all the lecturers at my Uni were that motivated.
Come on youtube. It’s 2:00 AM. How dare you.
Those are some cool moving boards, no wonder oxford has such a reputation with boards like those 😮
I'm procrastinating on my lessons by watching lessons of a subject I don't even do.
I just watched a 30 minute video on Pure Mathematics in Oxford university and I don't even know how to subtract fractions. Oh
But subtracting fractions is primary school level math ...
Didnt understand a word she said yet still enjoyed listening to her.
That was a very fine lecture, learnt a lot. Thank you Oxford University.
Maths literally just rolls off her tongue, probably dreams functions. This is impressive.
May God Bless students at oxford and you all and your families🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Why is this in my recommendations when I'm a pure English A Level student...
• Flixx • Ooh sorry
Very interesting, for me this was like going into one dimension to another.
such a short but passionate lecture
The second try... Just jumped into a rabbit hole and see what happens? That's one deep rabbit hole...
andrew wiles proof of fermat conjecture uses elliptic curves (so far I know). I'm also interested in the interface/interplay between topology (above all stable homotopy) and arithmetic geometry
Thanks a lot for sharing it.
saw this lecture in person last year and it was wonderful
RUclips got me wrong with this one I'm applying for history at Cambridge
a passionate math lecturer, torturous
i love watching Vicky Neale lecturing and rather wish i could do a maths course at Oxford just for that. But at 65 it may just be a little late!!!
Creep
So after failing my maths gcse this comes up ? Thanks
Ach this is good. It's the kind of common sense turned on its head that helped me understand Godel's completeness/consistency theorems when Peter Smith was my lecturer back in the late 70s
This was a great video! Great lecture.
I watched this 27 minutes and understood literally nothing 😂😂 I just liked her voice
And also her energy
I was there in the audience.... It was insane!
Did the whole course, great professor. Kind of wish I had the drive in high school to get in a big university :(
I was more fascinated by the way the board moves up and down and the thought of what happens once it reaches the top 🤔
There is no top...
It's like the infinite hotel... 😉
I just think it’s fascinating, just thinking about just why exactly each of us voluntarily clicked on this video
Who else was there for this live?
She's the best lecturer i never had
Complex number is one of my favourite part of pure math coz its easy compared to other topics
I mean y did this pop up in my youtube suggestion
someone: Did you understand anything what she has said ?
me: understand what ?
I'm questioning myself if whatever I was doing all this years was maths or not
17:37 you caught my attention.
Elliptic curves are into Computer sciences, specially in Crypto sciences.
Absolutely brilliant.
I am still learning my 6 times table....not quite ready for this RUclips, but thank u for believing in me
Why this things RUclips recommended for me , my life is so peaceful without numbers.
What is the name of that white board? I really amazed since I never saw the whiteboards like that here
that is absolutely fantastic.
See you in the Linear Algebra course, Vicky!
I'm studying psychology why am I watching this? 😂😂
SHE'S SOOOOO ENERGETIC! 🔥
Wait wut material are the boards, been staring 10min plus just trying to figure it out
Basically just whiteboard wallpaper attached to a thing that rolls around. Kinda like a belt sander. There's a metal back that doesn't move so it's not crap to write on.
This is so easy nice teacher iwish to have you in Somaliland here this is nice.
I didn’t know you could square root a negative number...
Imaginary numbers. Kind of weird, it’s like another spectrum of numbers.
You learn that in algebra bruh.
Wait but you learn that in highschool...
Wait what? We learn that a minus root isn’t possible, only when calculating x locations etc (abc-formula)
@@GamingPotatoHD You learn it in A Level Further maths
