Seconds into the lecture and he is now one my favorite human beings. The accent, the mathematical skill, the dress style, all superb!
who isnt? This guy is intelectual sex appeal embodied
they articulate too! go figure! delivers credible mresentation /represenring ccharacter ...(?) ...huh? ...:');
RUclipsExplorer
At first his accent bugged me. But now , it's pretty cool. Especially his dress style, and signature spider. He definitely has great lectures.
the "spider" has 10 legs...
What struck me as odd about his style is not his signature spider but that his spider has ten rather than eight legs. I wonder if that's random or if there is some kind of significance to it..
Very true words at 22:52 -- "The value of a higher education institution does not lie in the fact that students are taught the best science of today. It lies in the fact that students will be able to get ideas that go further than that."
What does that mean
Woww!!!!
I think this is really interesting:
Doctoral advisor of Cedric Villani: Pierre-Louis Lions
Doctoral Advisor of Pierre-Louis Lions: Haïm Brezis
Doctoral Advisor of Haïm Brezis: Jacques-Louis Lions
Doctoral Advisor of Jacques-Louis Lions: Laurent-Moïse Schwartz
Doctoral Advisor of Laurent-Moïse Schwartz: Georges Jean Marie Valiron
Doctoral Advisor of Georges Jean Marie Valiron: Félix Édouard Justin Émile Borel
Doctoral Advisor of Borel: Jean-Gaston Darboux
Doctoral Advisor of Jean-Gaston Darboux: Michel Floréal Chasles
Doctoral Advisor of Chasles: Siméon Denis Poisson
Doctoral Advisor of Poisson: Joseph-Louis Lagrange and Pierre-Simon Laplace
Doctoral Advisor of Laplace: Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert
Doctoral Advisor of Lagrange: Leonhard Euler
Doctoral advisor of euler: Johann Bernoulli
Doctoral advisor of Bernoulli: Jacob Bernoulli
Doctoral Advisor of Jacob: Nicolas Malebranche
So Villani is "academic related" to great math legends like bernoulli, laplace, euler, lagrange, poisson, etc
+albertosamaniego Amazing. How did you get this information?
+Nobody Cares genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/
+albertosamaniego Just do this for several mathematicians. You'll see that most of them are connected to famous mathematicians. It's amazing to see these common roots.
As impressive as this sounds, it's true for almost everyone with a doctorate, since academia used to be only a handful of people back in the day I guess. I got most of the big guys you mentioned, also Ohm, Weierstrass, Copernicus, Erasmus of Rotterdam, Melanchthon, Calvin, Lipschitz, you name it.. and I'm not even a mathematician :-D
Schwartz, Borel, Darboux, Pioisson, Laplace, Lagrange, d'Alembert, Euler, both of Bernoulli are at least a little famous OMG
It was so nice to hear such a famous professor saying that the process of finding a solution is full of mistakes and wrong ideas that lead you to good final thought. Maybe I am not a mathematician, but when I invent some machines I face a lot of mistakes or wrong conclusions that have to be corrected while creation process. I thought that I am poor inventor but it looks like everybody is facing this kind of problems. I always say that building a prototype is like walking two steps forward and one back. Thanks Cedric, you've reinforced me a lot!!!
If u succeded the first time then you just missed what you did wrong.
I love his manner of speech - the way he mixes formal and refined syntax with informal terminology like "guys" and "crap" and "what the hell" (which itself sounds all the funnier because of his accent). XD
A real privilege to be able to watch these lectures for free. Very inspiring, merci Professor Villani!
This guy looks like a Bond villain. Love it :)
even his last name is villain
@Doug Thomson it is possible to combine massive respect for someone and having a sense of humor.
a Bond villani, you mean
A man whose presence is as compelling and memorable as witnessing the performance of a legendary actor. For some baffled minutes I was guessing at what renowned scientist this gifted actor in period dress, who could do perfect dialect, was playing, before it hit me that this was a person exactly as he really was. The man did 60 minutes of non-stop dialog that came across like it was one perfectly organized paragraph. I have seen some really good lectures with really interesting content before, and been perfectly satisfied with that, but this is the first that was simultaneously a work of art.
+Kenneth Florek A perfect observation! I couldn't have put it better myself. Well done Sir.
This is the problem with Cédric Villani. He hasn't produced any significant mathematics contribution after 2014. After he won the Fields Medal in 2010, he slowly transformed from a mathematician to an actor. Even his current political persona is all an act.
He looks like what I would imagine a scientist out of a Jules Verne novel to look like. Not to mention brilliant.
Cédric Villani, He definitely onows how to pack tons and tons of important and impactful information into his talks.
Magnifique intelligence!
He's is extraordinarily charismatic and quirky. I might be falling in love with Mathematics because of him.
I watched the talk he gave on Nash and now I'm hooked on this guy. He could tell you a story just by looking at you!
Straight out of a Tim Burton movie. He won a Fields Medal w/ 3 years to spare. What a guy.
I see Franz Liszt gave up on music and moved on to Maths
liszt made music?...for real?
*meths
***** I was sarcastic...Liszt made something, sadly can´t call it music...unlike Chopin, a real genious!
***** Try a less biased, shallow approach to his music and you will discover a very talented composer. Leave aside his "hits" pieces and take some time to discover some of his not so well known music. He was way ahead of his time, try listening to some of his late works such as Les Jeux d'Eaux à la Villa d'Este or Nuages Gris, they resemble Ravel or Debussy. Cheers!
Fiddling Beelzebot I have tried but for real, Lizst was just so random, there is even a well known anecdote in which he approached to a kiosk intrigued by a small orchestra playing a melody..then he waited for them to finish and asked to the concertmaster, who was that melody´s composer...the concertmaster answered...it´s yours master! And thats why i can´t respect Liszt as a musician!
I like his style. Ridiculous and cool at the same time. My kind of guy.
A superb talk by Cedric Villani. A must see for every scientist and every aspiring scientist.
It's the 19th century all over again! Fantastic!
I'm glad people like Cedric still exist.
"Most of our lives are spent in failure."
People who hope they'll one day have a "Eureka!" moment tend to forget how frustrated and confused Archimedes was between the time he was given the problem and that fabled moment.
Because of that story, I spent years expecting to have a flash of brilliance whenever I took a bath.
This guy would be the perfect superhero villain. His last name is even practically villain. Not to mention the way he dresses.
Calvin Smith and in real life he's a sort of superhero. And the terrorists look more like movie superheroes.
So what does it tell you about the superhero movies/comics? eh?
Calvin Smith Count Villani
I was his classmate, and we had several very smart kids competing with him in math. Cedric was the only one of those in the competition willing to spend some time when others had questions. I do not know why people get narcissistically affected like that by name aesthetics that have nothing to do with his brains or character. But it is not new, his competitors had a habit of getting butt hurt when everybody asked "what does Cedric think of this?". Then they would rant and scream "always Villani always Villani!" Lol
By the way, it is a name common in Italy and Corsica. Most of the top students had names from similar gangster region if that tickles your imagination. I think he has his dad's wits and his mother's kindness.
key larfo
That makes me admire him even more. Such determination is really something. It is still very hard for most intelligent people to get through public education without some "bad experience". I remember how my high school worked - it was really tough for the math-heads to get any friends. Hopefully that is changing since the civilisation is moving forward.
I totally dig his look. The Lavallière and the bug (has 10 legs so its not a spider) as well as the time piece are so cool.
+Trent Hogan Not a bug then. Bugs are a group of insects; so 6 legs.
Paul Kennedy wrong. Bug iis a term used to categorize species. Like an ant, catapillar, or spider. Just like lizards, frogs, and turtles are reptiles. I say bug and you know what I mean so stop trying to be so damn proper.
***** Technically, a bug is one of the order Hemiptera, That's a subset of the group of insects. Colloquially, a 'bug' can be any of a huge variety of things, some of them not even animals.
I was responding to a whimsical post which made the point that it couldn't be a spider because of the number of legs. It seemed appropriate to make the point that it couldn't be a bug for the same reason.
Incindetally, although, most people (other than entomologists) are happy to use 'bug' broadly, you won't find many people agreeing with you that frogs are reptiles. The amphibians are a completely different group from the reptiles and even lay people recognise the distinction.
+Paul Kennedy Well I guess everyone here is into science, so it was appropriate here. But still, you say bug and most wouldn't even care. Although maybe they should. Im sure anyone watching this is on a math or science video spree and knows the difference but I could be wrong.
***** Oh, I think you're right about most people not knowing the technical meaning of 'bug', but I felt, like you said, that people on this channel would be interested in it.
What I like about Cedric is his ability to turn mathematics into a narrative. He is also good at explaining the mentality and tribulations of those who have a passion for math and science.
This guy is the real life "Count" from Sesame Street. Love it.
Wonderful stuff from Professor Villani and it's a real privilege to have him share his creative experiences in ways that a layman can grasp and reflect on. I got so much from every part of this lecture but was particularly impressed with his postulate that the imposition (and relaxation) of constraints can lead to new insights.
beautiful communicator i wish my teachers had as much passion as he i would have absorbed every single word wonderful
I do hope that Villani can be persuaded to do the Ri Christmas lectures. A version of this material aimed at children would be very nice I think.
41:57
What a coincidence: I was just using Faa di Bruno's formula in some of my own work. Nice to see it appear here!
I JUST WATCHED IT FOR 58 MINUTES AND 24 SECONDS BECAUSE YOU ARE FREAKING BEUTIFUL.
This lecture was recorded in 2015, he's lost his looks and his mind since then.
11:07 i like how he acknowledges that the unconscious is a vital part of "you"
He always dresses like this ...he is one of the greatest living Mathematicians and a lovely man
Mathematics is the only legal drug who make You both happy and smart.
Very interesting guy who clearly radiates passion and enthusiasm for the science of math and the natural World.
The style is the man
professor Villani is a joy to watch.
I am definitely right away start improving my piano playing skills. Thanks Cedric for motivation.
If you switch around the letters in his last name you get Villain. He's planning to take over the world with his mathematical knowledge and enslave all of humanity will spiders.
I used to watch Donald in Mathematics Land (or whatever the title is in English) over and over again when I was a kid. You see, I didn't become a mathematician myself, but here I am watching this wonderful Bond villain -like guy talking about all this stuff. Makes me feel weird, but in a good sense.
The Doctor is real, and he is french.
Cedric Villani will inspire to be one of the great masters of mathematics of his time, no doubt. Easy to understand the organization of the thought process to contemplate the physical reasoning of simplicity. Of course most of science today and into the future picks up where others have theorized with added knowledge of interests and better tools of invention applied toward future possibilities. Yet all too often within collaboration recognizing either a problem of shared concerns or argument of point of observation that of abstract or concrete, Euclidean or non-Euclidean ; Newtonian or damping of acoustic plasma, whatever! There is always some knot that has to be untied and the rope used again to tie another knot. So let's try to recognize another problem within encryption and its freedom of privacy or number sequences to protect against hacking in P and NP computer logic and revamp without destructive interference of changing all the 0's to 1's. And simply consider the possibility that WITH IN NATURE the solution can be found. Either in fractals or particle physics that protons are being looked at as 1 quark "up" and two quarks "down", while a cast color of green NP 2 quarks up and hadron down. Intertwined ideas once over again encrypted around the electron; to preserve inherent freedom in respect to liberty. Those calculated random chaotic uncertainties can be used in an advantageous way and perhaps they are already modified. Being out of those loops of think tanks within science, how would I know, yet just thinking of what news we hear about cyber economical warfare, mathematicians and physicist at large must settle credit card fraud or electronic banking robberies before fear brings a world to unrest. Damping is still some form of 12 sheets of Pb throwing nickels at a steam roller, yet have we really found the infinite symbol applied in relationship to diatomic hydrogen?
Dear Mr. Frank Francis, I am old man from the India, the birth place of Ramanjuan, one the greatest mathematicians of all times. I fully agree with you the points you raised regarding confidence building measure by the physistics and mathematicians to arrest credit debit card fraud and data theft ,as indicated by you might lead to civil unrest across the planet, I would like to add that we humans have to exercise caution and discretion to nudge our governments to ensure coordinated exercise was put in action in the direction of relentless hunting down of miscreants.
No. Villani hasn't made any significant contribution to mathematics after 2014, you can check his arXiv record. He abandoned mathematics for French national politics, got crushed by his opponents and now fancies himself to be a philosopher.
Fantastic discourse; been one of my favorites. 👍👍
i really have big respect for men like him because its sooo rare to see men like him in our time id like to see we may develop our education be better but even for my self hehehe im pretty dumb in math hheheeh but still i try my best hahaha
He is one of the most spectacular lecturers and speakers.
This guy so peculiar and fantastic at the same time
1. documentation
2. motivation
3. environment/eco-system
4. communication
5. constraints
6. intuition and hard work
7. luck
+Firdaus Ismail Thanks, I wish I saw this comment before watching the whole video, coz he gets to the point approx. in last 10 Minutes ...
+Firdaus Ismail 7. Luck/Perseverance
Why constraints ?
Good summary. I'm turning sixty and I want to review my old math books now.
The lack of beard makes him look disturbingly young. I came here from his interview on Numberphile, so my first time seeing him was with a nice scruffy beard, and by contrast this looks rather unnerving. Such a cool guy, though. Love the way he dresses, and how this is the only kind of outfit he ever seems to wear. XD
This talk inspires me to be a mathematician.
Remarkable powers of introspection
Veeeery good indeed! Thanks!
And more, please.
We know that mathematicians do the ranking 2:00
This helps more than school
at 50:00 he put in eloquent words what I always strongly believed in: the power of restriction. One of the many facets of such a principle is that as the western civilization is growing more permissive (and less restrictive), creativity is in sharp decline.
I understand that many will be offended. I like to look at languages the same way: complicated languages tend to produce different brain wiring which allows for more complicated thoughts to be achieved. It's not a guarantee, but a possible pre-requisite.
Amazing and simple enumeration of the ingredients for birth of an idea. I have been mesmerized many a times on how the subconscious brain provides you those flashes that help you solve a problem which has been a cause for many a sleepless nights for me.
I love this guy.
Interesting concepts, will try to apply them in coding.
His talk on Nash at Ri is also great.
I’ve just fallen in love. Cedric Villani you are my God, thank you for the inspiration given, I hope I’ll meet you one day.❤️
I can simply say about such geniuses: “a science fan”. Thank!!!
thank you so much
Brilliant talk.
He looks like Descartes
Great mind powerful you can sense it it 's like the sun ... Not boring very eluminating
Not only a great lecture but also a relaxing asmr video
I clicked on this strictly because of the bow tie.
Calvin Smith Thinkers ought to be distinctive, his tie/scarf is perfect. He has wonderful presence. Beautiful longer fingers, clean, a truly inquisitive mind. France produce more theorems/mathematicians then any other country.
Calvin Smith Bow ties are cool.
+Calvin Smith He reminds me of Emo Philips. Brilliant!
*****
I'm sure some people know, but I'm not one of them.
I just looked it up on line. I think it's called a Colonel tie. Possibly after Colonel Sanders?
+Calvin Smith In french, it's called a "Lavallière".
Excellent talk - thanks for posting!!
To clarify the jumbled ideas into a base line of construct: is the diatomic hydrogen. This is in response to Cedric Villani constraints around plasma dampening.. If one atom of hydrogen is derived as a proton in the inside and the electron on the outer orbit, the other hydrogen coupled diatomic ally is then that the other paired electron representing density; while the proton is ascribed in an orbit, so as two hydrogen atoms are refractively neutral while holding 2 dimensional bonds. Covalent loose bonds or ionic of a stronger are set in motion to compound with other elements within building blocks of complexity. The hydrogen base line within a building block theory is to consider two differentials of thought. Is the thesis to be of energy or is of matter within controlling the directional outcome of three dimensional matter or three phases of energy. Thus to designate a ground and suspendedness of phases within energy is referred to as stepping up or stepping down current or voltage within deltas and wye configured, as relay within electricity and its conductive efficiency throughout the lineated distance. Yet the power plant generating the electrostatic toward the consumer down the road are basic in keeping two phases suspended and tripping the ground as grid into the distance for conductivity. The other theory within matter is of two phases or even dimensions grounded into density as of a mineral generator producing a mineral vein. So in the smallest coulomb of charge within static that the hydrogen atom and its common diatomic duality is at the focus point of either energy or matter in density or gravity; ‘lead or lag” formula. If on one hand one wants to be compatible to electrostatic energy it is two quarks “up” and one quark “down” and if on the other hand if matter is the desired outcome, its two quarks “down” and one phase of quark “up”. Now let’s say within all complexity of both reactant designs being compounded into a matrix or lattice that code is as code begins and ends within processing sequences. So if: one starts a reaction intended to be an outcome of energy it’s configured into wyes and deltas for energy measurements. Yet with real crypto of mineral matter weighed within the action of the hydrogen bonds refractive and inclined with only reflective being suspended within a spherical gravity, that real crypto is not as what the world is leading into today of special Pb slugs being electroplated to shine on both sides heads or tails of reflective anti-matter for the intent of measuring at the meter,. Yet real worth is still the results with nature into crystalline growth of mineral resultants still precious and pure. So take your choice between energy and/or matter carefully in decisions of crypto currencies. Either they are of simple bubbles of energy theories that need to be recycled out of garbage and junk vs. real resultants of fine gems of gold and silver of what was intent throughout antiquity. The baseline within an economic environment of past currencies and new regulations may be cheapening the worth of what society is supposed to strive toward. If damaged goods are still peddled off with what ends up as garbage and junk; rust and rot signals at some point only favoring networks, the need to mineral align back with nature within a balance pH or else within the long count of galactic Baktun proportions, we will once again find our next “Ice Age” locked onto this planet for 6000 yrs. Waiting for a spring deluge to wash away past efforts of what may have been a crop of inhabitants leading only by energy examples.l of recklace powerplays.
Listening all the time to prof. Villani that spider knows more than an average people!!
Thug life, what an inspirational speaker. If only every teacher in the world was like this guy
A question to Cédric Villani. Programming or Software design is the newest science, skill, technology or engineering that wasn't there before. How do I suggest or advise a student when he asks me 'what should I concentrate on to become a software professional? '. Is it Mathematics, Heuristics, Combinatorics, (information theoretic) Engineering & technology, Physics or whatever. A successful software professional leaves his software package with no 'bug' whatsoever & all other of his professionals finding it easy to follow.
disclose mathematician is interested in process or disclose the process itself is really good.
Very good video, thank you for uploading this.
What a great desk. Oh, and the math is pretty cool too
Gotta love Professor Moriarty up there, but I think the spider pendant is a bit of a giveaway.
This is the second video I've watched of this gentleman giving a talk, and I like him even better this time. By the way, love the outfit! Great style. But next time he should add frilly cuffs! ;) I noticed that metal spider above his left breast pocket - awesome! I want one of those! :) I'm going to have to buy this book: "Birth of a Theorem"! A very good lecture. Thanks, RI! Rikki Tikki..
"...fighting with the unknown all the time.."-Cédric Villani
You got to love Mathematiques :)
Superb insight into the mind of a scientist.
The process of optimization of "the sum of all histories"... It's hard work.
An "enlightened" re-vision of Universal circumstances around the fundamental methodology of mathematical conceptions that are composed of rigous thought experiments, in tune with available potential possibilities, and may be confirmed by appropriate physical arrangements of Quantum Fields Modulation Mechanism QM-Time Principle In-form-ation.., meaning a mathematical analysis module/model of rigorous thinking about the elemental components of Actuality.., could be fabricated from available techniques and technology, rather than the other way around, as has been assumed to be normal practice. Real world activity is always a combination of both but it's not usually taught to Students without a demarcation between Pure Mathematics and Physics. Prof Villani is the Teacher who combines the actual skills.
Superb
i love this man
but Partial Derivatives are one of the easiest concept of Calc III (I don't know the English equivalent) . Even easier than Integration by Parts covered in Calc II
+Napoleonicus Are you serious mate?
Marko Mkd yea mate
Much like many ODEs, most classes of PDEs cannot be explicitly solved so what we do is try to find out their behaviour.
Marko Mkd I'm not talking about solving it, which is still easy-ish once you the trick. I just meant, as I wrote above, that the concept of Partials is not that hard
Calculating a partial derivative is easy, not the mathematics that deal with PDEs. And unfortunately no, once even the ordinary differeniual eqation is complicated enough, you cannot give the whole family of solutions explicitly, no matter the tricks. These equations are rarely taught to non-maths undergraduates though.
Yet another beautiful and innocent mind!
It's about translation of information into motivation! Look up flow states 😃
Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land. I saw it circa 1975. Would love to see it again.
When I learn french I'll definitively read the book, just have to think about how to remember my future self of such...
Read in anglais
The book also has a translation in English
I worked out in my head that 74 x 74 = 5476.
Want a medal? 😂
No! My favourite poet is William McGonagall as having learning difficulties I understand his poetry. All My Poems Are Shit!!! I can't read!!! I am NOT clever!!! You just be nicer, Achintya, to someone who is special and needs love like me.
+Mike Fuller [dispenses hugs and love]
Thank You!
Great Job. You have now won the field's medal for your amazing ability to do 74x74 in your head. Just deposit 5000000 dollars into your bank and tell me your bank details and then I will send you your prize
23:40 I remind you that Henri Poincaré discovered the pixel ( point carre in french)
I have a question for Mr Villani, Is it possible to quantify ABTRACTNESS? and If yes, then how?. If no,then pourquoi?. Why not work on it ? I really feel like if work was pushed in thta direction, we may haveee plenty new stuff and results on how to better old and newer results to come. We will also easily know how they relate to other fields in which application may be possible?
modern day legend
Awesome
Exceptionally good.
The spider is just the fancy touch.
What a character
Pourquoi est-ce que j'écoute cela en Anglais?
i like his sense of fashion

I absolutely hate it when they say Enigma was decoded by Turing, whilst it was Rejewski, Rozycki and Zygalski that did it first.
Not even mentioning them is quite outrageous anyway.
can you further elaborate? Why is Turing more well known what roles did each of these mathematicians have?
@@chronicsnail6675
These three mad lads were happily recruited by the Polish Customs Office, when one day they received a delivery from Germany with a bloody Enigma machine inside it.
Rejewski, Rozycki and Zygalski were Maths Students, and were picked during a ten day cryptological scholarship.
The Enigma machine was opened up, photographed and the schemes of it were precisely made. Rejewski was the most clever of them all, however all three were real quick to find the way the rolls were placed in the Machine.
Then they had to find the Daily Passcode used by Germans to get the rolls into the right position, this they achieved by studying the algorhythms using "hardcore maths" as my professor put it, and also by just using the logic of Germans not being willing to come up with unique passcodes each day.
The Passcode consisted of 3 letters repeated twice, e.g. "ABC ABC" or "XYZ XYZ". So these were the ones they tried out.
And after about a month or two, they received their first decoded message. They also built a machine called "the bomb" that later on helped to break the ciphers quicker.
The Poles shared their discoveries with the French, who first helped them by giving them the access to Enigma Instructions used by Germans, buuut they couldn't figure out how to get the Daily Passcodes so they PASSed (see what I did there?) the project to the Poles.
Then they decided to give some of their Enigmas to the French, the English, and the Rebe... I mean, Americans.
After the 1st of September, Poland got invaded. This was also when Germans decided to include 5 rolls in their Enigmas, instead of 3, which just increased the time needed to break the code, and soon the Cryptological Institute was out of funds for the further development, so the guys gave the project to the French. Rejewski died, and Rozycki with Zygalski went to France, Spain and then England, where they were refused a job with decoding the new Enigmas. Turing then got to work using the project of the Polish "Bomb" I mentioned beforehand, and the calculations they made.
This is the historical part of this, as far as I'm concerned.
Sorry for a long lecture, I'm not good at keeping stuff brief.
Cheerio.
@@gothenix wow thank you
robert mapes
Always a pleasure, darling
I see he's kept his spider.
i like the little hints in the speech (e.g. look at the spiders legs)
Wolfgang Keim but but but 10 LEGS
WHY WHY WHY...
oreubens Well, technically all spiders have 10 appendages (not counting the fangs). Two of them are just often relatively shorter and called pedipalps (literlly foot feelers). What's more troublesome to me is the fact that this _spider_ has three body segments. :P
codbug wait.., what? omg?
What weird universe have I entered where spiders have 10 legs instead of 8 ?
oreubens The weird universe that arbitrarily defines certain appendages of arthropods as 'legs' not based on any truly objective standards. Don't get me started on praying mantes!
