Imagine having your first kid and being awarded a Fields medal on the same week. What a week!
-
The first Fields Medal was awarded in 1936, 87 years ago and now goes to James Maynard at 36, born in 1987.
-
James has found the best usage for his Fileds Medal. It's made of noble metal, it's anti-bacterial and it's too big to be swallowed, so it makes a perfect toy for infants.
-
Hopefully he can parlay this into a bigger office - dude clearly deserves another whiteboard!
-
This is the kind of guy who wins the Medal, for research on a subject that really great mathematicians have been exploring for 500+ years. Bravo James ...
-
can't believe i didn't hear about this until now, one of the best numberphile contributors
-
Imagine winning the most famous award in your field and the next day you go back your first son is born. I'm surprised he didn't pass out from all the emotions.
-
Imagine being born and one of the first thing handed to you is a Fields Medal
-
"You're out of luck if you solve Riemann when you're 41. But if you were born just one year earlier..." ~Prize-winning mathematician! 😂
-
13:42 photographic evidence of world record fields medal speedrun. run time: less than 1 day
-
By definition it can't be the "nobel" prize of mathematics when it has an age limit to it.
-
"Most mathematicians are really motivated by mathematics" Congratulations James!!!. congratulations to james! he is crazy genius, humble and certainly deserved it.
-
12:06 I was discussing this with a friend and we agreed that the optimal time for a kid to be born is around September of a 2 (mod 4) year: they'd turn 40 right after the last Fields Medal they're eligible for, and they'd turn 18 right before the first US presidential election they're eligible for
-
Something tells me that if you prove the Rieman hypothesis at age 41 then not winning the fields medal isn't going to hold you back too much…
-
I love how at 4:52 James Maynard is the only one smiling. Everyone else is like "Let's get this over with so I can go back to researching"
-
I could listen to this guy talk for at least an eon or two... Congrats on this achievement, sir! 👑
-
So happy for you James, and for the journey to be brilliantly documented by Numberphile! Such a dream come true! :)
-
Congratulations, Mr. Maynard! I'm proud of you, and love the way you explain your maths. Thank you for your contributions here in this channel. ♥
-
Mans got skills.
-
It's absolutely beautiful to hear James's enthusiasm and glee.
