Imagine having a career so illustrious that discovering a groundbreaking way to accurrately find pi is just one of your side achievements

“Play around with patterns and push them beyond the bounds where you expect them to work.” Optimization with intuition, great!

"He was quarantining at home due to an outbreak of bubonic plague." ...what a great time to do math
@4tell
in all honesty, i never realized how much of a genius newton really was. i feel a bit ashamed now, dude practically made hundreds of years worth of discoveries in a few decades and i never cared much for him at all. somehow this is insanely impressive. imagine being this guy.

I am a mathematician. I have masters in applied statistics, data analysis and all that jazz. I remember when I took the exam from this topic and I learned it. The way it was explained in the book made little sense to me, I always wondered how did anyone come up with it? It was so unintuitive and weird.... I have not seen that theory for years now and yet everything makes sense immediately. I think this is how it needs to be taught at school... well done.

Newton’s quarantine: boring. Let’s upgrade human understanding of mathematics. My quarantine: homemade pizza.

When Newton was at a professor at Cambridge, some of his students were in the club discussing what they thought the path of a body orbiting another body in space would be (e.g. the earth around the sun). One student returned to the university, and upon passing Bewton's office, he stopped in to discuss it. On asking Newton what he imagined the orbit would look like, Newton replied. It would be an ellipse. The student then asked what made him think it was an ellipse, Newton said. I do not think it, I know it. The student then asked how he knew it with such certainty, Newton said, "Why I've calculated it." He then searched through piles of paper on his desk until he came up with a scrap of paper that had the differential equation for an orbiting celestial body. He considered it so trivial that he didn't think it was worth publishing.

What I love about this is it starts with the binomial theorem, which is seemingly totally unrelated to pi. But that's the beauty of math: it's all interconnected and idly playing with patterns can get you meaningful results.

@endruv_2287
I mostly knew Newton as the physics guy but I had no idea he also INVENTED CALCULUS AND BROKE THE BINOMIAL THEOREM TO SOLVE PI THIS MAN WAS INSANE AND DESERVES ALL THE FAME
@LetsGetIntoItMedia
This video is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling. The beauty of discovery comes through so well. I watch this every few months, and I'm inspired every single time
@betterideas
I really like this video because I didn’t understand 99% of the math, yet I was invested. It felt like something important was unraveling before me, and I was excited by that. And that’s the power of good storytelling.

coming back to this video when i'm now on university studying calculus and actually understanding all of the integrating part feels soo good
