  • Imagine having your first kid and being awarded a Fields medal on the same week. What a week!
  • @pyr0digm
    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.
  • 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 ...
  • Hopefully he can parlay this into a bigger office - dude clearly deserves another whiteboard!
  • 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
  • It's absolutely beautiful to hear James's enthusiasm and glee.
  • "Most mathematicians are really motivated by mathematics" ❤ Congratulations James!!!
  • @plusunim
    Most sincere CONGRATULATIONS!! 🥳
  • @rtpoe
    As to the age limit, the Nobel Prize has a limit, too. It CANNOT be awarded posthumously. That requirement, explicitly made in Nobel's will establishing the prizes, kept two eminently deserving people from winning it: Henry Moseley, who experimentally demonstrated that the major properties of an element are determined by the atomic number (died in battle in WWI just as the importance of his work was becoming known), and Oswald Avery, who proved that it was DNA that carried genetic information (died before the Nobel Prize people got around to seriously considering him).
  • @Perriax
    What an achievement! Congratulations!!

    By definition it can't be the "nobel" prize of mathematics when it has an age limit to it.
  • What a guy... 3 time Formula 1 champion and now a fields medal!
  • @nozua
    4:55 I was super hyped to see June Huh among the winners! He was an amazing expositor in the "g-conjecture" video, which is one of my favorite Numberphile videos.
