    Congratulations for being awarded the 2022 Fields Medal!
  • @3blue1brown
    Really nicely explained (and edited). The modified Pascal's triangle framing is a really fun way to make these topological patterns feel like they pop out of numerical playfulness.
  • @KurtSchwind
    Best handwriting in all of Numberphile. June Huh has remarkable penmanship.
  • @Neuxramus48
    the way he writes the letter "f" is so satisfying
  • @kyutoreru
    The "unproven" g-conjecture was proven in a paper published in December 2018, just 6 months after this video was posted.
  • @FredrikMeyer
    A few years ago I attended a summer school where June Huh was one of the lecturers. It was amazing. He’s the kind of idealistic mathematician who always sees the big picture.
  • @CraigHarrison
    "Pick my favourite triangulated sphere in the 17th dimension..." There's just so many, I can never choose just one!
  • I'm here after June Huh's Fields Medal announcement!!! CONGRATS!!!
  • @GuanoLad
    This is the best penmanship I've ever seen on a Numberphile brown paper.
  • The greatest congratulations to June Huh for having been a recipient of the Medal Field this year
  • It’s nice knowing that, as of this filming, June Huh had a bright, bright future. Congratulations on the Fields Metal!
  • @rohitg1529
    As of 2022, June Huh has been awarded a Fields Medal. Just amazing!
  • This is a very inconvenient time of day for me to watch a 20-minute math video, but I got the notification, so here we are.
  • @dkranda
    June Huh has a beautifully patient cadence to his presentation style.
  • @clbgrmn
    Dang, more videos with Dr. Huh. This was one of my favorites. He's obviously passionate about this math, and is very articulate.
  • @mmmusa2576
    Here after June won his Fields Medal. What an amazing mathematician!
  • @Simoneister
    "A 1 dimensional triangle is a straight line" Cool cool
