Please never stop posting this kind of videos for each scientific discipline at the end of the year. They're so good!
paul erdos is the most consistent side character in the math universe
imagine Tao saying you made a very impressive achievement, that is peak.
We investigate three of 2024’s biggest breakthroughs in mathematics, including a better way to pack spheres in high dimensions, a new way to avoid forming patterns of numbers, and an 800-page proof of the so-called geometric Langlands conjecture. Read about more math breakthroughs from this year at Quanta Magazine: https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-year-in-math-20241216/
I look forward to these videos every year!
That's funny that Quanta just had no time to prepare for the moving sofa problem solution that came in late november Actually the biggest breakthrough of the year in my opinion
This channel always delivers with great videos, always look forward to the end of year compilations, thanks to all the team for the great presentations, I always love the graphics as they help in the understating of often very complex subjects.❤
Sphere Packing: - 2D optimal: *honeycomb* - 3D optimal: *pyramid (74.05%)* - Higher dimensions: *random beats ordered* - Proof: geometry→graphs→*Rödl nibble* Arithmetic Progressions: - Core: *max set size pre-pattern emergence* - Advance: *3 students improved bounds* - Impact: *technique generalizes* Geometric Langlands: - Core: *math unification via Fourier* - Proof: *eigensheaves + fundamental group reps* - Key: *Poincaré sheaf = complete container*
More on the Langland proof breakthrough!!!!
As someone who struggled with fractions, I am amazed and the mathematical talent of mathematicians.
2023's breakthrough video feels like just yesterday :(
Best time of the year
Le vidéo que j'attends toute l'année! Merci Quanta Magazine, j'en prendrais pendant des heures!
Marcelinho and Julian being in two consecutive years on the quanta recap is so iconic
1:24 From the explorer to the mathematician to the astronomer to my iphone! Things ESCALATED quickly😂😂
We are in hard times for math progress. I myself discovered a few marvelous results, only to find they were already discovered hundreds of years before I was even born. I'm afraid that math is getting harder faster than we are getting smarter.
As A high school student i hear often bout Great past mathemticians (In classes n YT videos) but i rarely hear bout any great modern Mathematicians or breakthrough which made me unconsiously assume tht Mathematics and Science had ripened and there are very little progress tht can be made and it's not worth dedicating time over it. But I do love the subject and aspire to be one great mathematician myself oneday Which is y I desperately needed videos like this Thanks❤
I understand maybe 5% of this, but I still stayed and actually enjoyed watching it. Amazing how smart these young mathematicians are.
It is an excellent way to end the year, seeing great advances in different fields of knowledge.👍🏻
