The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the world's leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry. The Institute exists to encourage and support fundamental research in the sciences and humanities-the original, often speculative thinking that produces advances in knowledge that change the way we understand the world. Work at the Institute takes place in four Schools: Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Science. It provides for the mentoring of scholars by a permanent Faculty of some 28, and it offers all who work there the freedom to undertake research that will make significant contributions in any of the broad range of fields in the sciences and humanities studied at the Institute.
Beautiful way to close the series! Thank you Karen for sharing your path to math, and for that wonderful farewell dinner at the IAS. And Jordan, thanks for making this happen.
Here is a hint about the modulao (6n - 1)(6n - 1) = (6n + 1) (6n - 1)(6n + 1) = (6n - 1) (6n + 1)(6n + 1) = (6n + 1) If I remember correctly?, (who knows) (6n - 1)(6n + 1) cancellations happen at double the pace of the other two? so cancellations balance out
Ms. Rojo deserves praise for trying to expand the company’s repertoire and attracting new audiences. Though she’s stretching the truth a bit with regard to the success of Mere Mortals. It was sold out only for the very last performance in the first run in January. For the Encore performances in April they had to close the balcony section and offer heavily discounted tickets. But the main question here is for how long will works like this stay relevant. I doubt Mere Mortals will garner much audience appreciation should it return in a couple of years. It doesn’t have any cross-cultural or cross-generational appeal. Its weak and repetitive choreography with a lot of stomping and marching is destined to become obsolete.
Karen, I remember reading your interview (with AMS Notices if I recall correctly) when I was a senior or first year grad student and your path/story was very inspirational to me. Thank you!
Im about to go to school for physics but i love math a great deal. Perhaps i should double major but i dont have that much time. I guess im going to just see how things go. I can always change my major.
Unfortunately, we don't have a "keep plugging away at it" world anymore. Everything has to be quick and not gnarly-complex. But to really get anywhere we have to ask gnarly "what ifs," then plug away at them. (This is more a pep talk to myself than great wisdom for you, BTW.)
First I heard name of Professor Uhlenbeck concerning minimax conditioning of local conditions in normes space, shortly pronounced, Uhlenbeck compactification. I am indeed honored and encouraged at this very occasion that make me listen to her own statement by words. Thank a lot Professeur Uhlenbeck.
This video series is so inspiring. So many people think math isn't for them because they weren't prodigies (myself included) or feel under-represented in the field.
Im not gifted in math at all, but i absolutely love it. To me math is everything. Its my time to relax, its something i can express myself in, its interesting and deep. Richard Feynman wasnt a genius either (in his words) but he worked hard and studied what he loved. I intend to follow that path.
For someone who is critical of the historicity of early Islam, its ironical that she brings up Moses and the exodus as the first example. When its well know we don't have any historicity backing those events up.
What were the minimal qualifications to sit on this panel? Paying $20 for ChatGPT? The gentleman speaking at 12:00 has no idea what he is talking about.
