Congratulations to James Tao for securing gold medals twice at IMO! Very few mortals have been able to accomplish what he has accomplished. I feel very humbled to know about achievements of people like James.
The guy is really catching my vibe, I was also fascinated about that mystical, at first glance, process in the brain that takes you from not being able to solve a problem to solving it. Amazing!
Watching this video enlightened within me once again the reason why I do math - it's not just to follow along the logic. It's to develop that deep rooted all pervasive understanding where everything you have studied so far just comes together to make a collective sense because it's all related. Thanks once again. I needed that
The single most important thing about math is what he said:"'Well, early on I figured out that it (math) isn't all logic. What was keeping me from understanding it wasn't somehow that I couldn't follow the logic because I could. What was keeping me from understanding it was somehow these ideas were so different, so new. Realizing that it wasn't all about the logic but rather about a creative process."
A gifted mathematician who happens to also be extraordinarily eloquent shares with us his perspective on mathematics and, in particular, competitive maths such as the IMO. I think it's very telling of the RUclips community that all that people can come up with in response to this is "OMG! He made a blunder by using circular reasoning!" or "His last name is Tao, just like _Terence_ Tao! LOL!" Come on folks, we can do better than this. He's one of the few people that can very well describe why so many people that get started on "actual" (i.e. not bland high school level) mathematics get hooked on it. Judging from the current state of mathematical education in the Western world, I'd say we need more people like him to carefully explain this to us and motivate people to get into maths.
He’s not a mathematician, he’s a high school student. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out he made a mistake. And, yes there are a lot of dumb comments. This is RUclips; what did you expect?
This guy is talking about pure maths, an equivalent to fine art, which is an art. Good luck with his career, hopefully all these mathematicians achieve something extraordinary, ie millennium problems.

Isn't it interesting how even abstract topics such as maths that have no existence beyond the human mind can, with sufficient development, generate a beauty all of their own. It seems to me that beauty is not found within the individual building blocks. Rather, it is found when observing the building blocks come together as a whole. For example, there is little beauty to be found in a block of quarried sandstone that has just been blasted from the side of a cliff. If however thousands of these blocks are given to a group of stone masons, they can be carved and put together to create cathedral. You might say that beauty, both in the physical and cognitive worlds, is an emergent property. It is created when many individual elements come together to form an entity that is greater than the sum of its parts. That is, it transcends itself. This point of transcendence forms the boundary between science and religion.
Too many people in these comments are stuck in the propositional calculus when criticizing Tao's statement that a-->b-->c-->a.

The approach to a problem on which many diff. concepts and techniques can be applied in a many diff. ways simultaneously is more likely to be worked out than those problems who do not satisfy this symmetry. It depends on the solver experience and training to build the simplest possible approach with less entropy and more symmetry.

+JR H (JRHoflife) You are correct. I think he was trying to illustrate a tautology but instead wound up giving an example of circular reasoning.
JR H a=b ,b=c, a=c.. a=a
a implies b, b implies c. not equality.
x>1 ,x>0 x>-1 but x>-1 not implies ×>1
Yokuda if b is a subset of a that means a implies b, and c is a subset of b that means b implies c, then c is a subset of a, which means a implies c. But he accidentally said c implies a which is not necessarily true. For example: I’m in downtown Baltimore which implies I’m in Baltimore which implies I’m in Maryland. However, just because I’m in Maryland does not mean I’m in downtown Baltimore.

Though one may think that this train of thought has limited applications, it occurs frequently in math. Where you have to , for example, understand the particular assumptions and implications in a equation.
I guess theoretically, like he said, if math is all a tautology then nothing is false. So A,B, and C are true (Every propositional variable in logic is a well formed formula so they have to be true if they are mathematical statements by his assumption) then the rest of the statements he made including their converses hold.

2+2 is 4 -1 is 3 quick math
iam too scared to continue this
1:24 Hey guys, Vsauce
Omg hahahah
I have now suddenly the motivation to learn math 😂
Give this guy a medal! Oh wait
@topcommentgod
good points, math is art
came here from a manga about this dude trying to compete in the imo forgot the title though
This same guy? Did u ever find it again lmao
He lost me on the 1 becomes a 2 becomes b part
qefohs bahaha i said the exact same thing
Why discover the answer, when you can invent it.
Add some more videos please.
This is very well said . Connectionist networks of the mind suggest associative-heuritistic processes are at work in the creative process, which is probably just as important as anayltical thinking.
A implies B, B implies C; so A implies C and NOT C implies A.
That would not be a tautology but an equivalence.
How is he related to Terrence Tao?
i myself have been in the ukmt once already. only got merit. thats maybe top 1400 in the country for years 7+8. this year i got into the ukmt again for years 9+10+11. his age group. i am officially top 500 for my year in the country!
Hi! I presume you are in uni now?
@@cliffhangerlivelihood6334
Yeah second year studying physics. Oh dear god my comment comes off badly.
@@curseofgladstone4981 Haha don’t worry. Did you end up doing BMO 1/2 later on in Y11 or Sixth Form?
Also, if I may ask, what uni are you studying in?
@@cliffhangerlivelihood6334
I got pink kangaroo or whatever its called with merit in year 11
Sixth form I got bmo1 with merit and second year senior kangaroo.
And I go to the University of bath. It's a very nice uni. First year was a bit crap due to covid though 😔
Uni is so much harder.
Some modules I find easy but a lot of them I have to constantly work at. Thankfully I haven't failed anything but it's been close a few times.
He is just like my son ,he had aspergers too
Bet this n00b isn't even a mathlete like my boy Chris Kuehl.
