This is actually cool. Having numbers that refer to mathematicians is kind of meta.
-
I like these little jokes and jests researchers can come up with. Proof to anyone that intelligence and wit are often intertwined.
-
Reminds me of the Alpher–Bethe–Gamow paper, Bethe really didn't have anything to do it, but Gamow thought it would be funny to have ABG in it to represent the 3 main types of radiation, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma...gotta love it!
-
Rest In Peace Mr. Graham.
-
0:26 Is anyone else smiling gleefully because he said, "He had a theory, but not a real theory, that..." in order to distinguish what he was saying about the theory to mean the colloquial sense of the term rather than the scientific?
-
Finally a Hungarian Maths reformer too!
-
Congratulations to Brady for having an Erdos number.
-
I don't think that final note is really valid. Someone's Erdos number can't decrease, since the original shortest path will always exist. Jerry Griggs has and always will have published a paper with G. W. Peck, meaning he will always have an Erdos number of magnitude equal to or less than 1+i.
-
Thank you. I have now looked for sites to compute my Erdős number which turned out to be 3 (well, 4 by most paths). Great fun!
-
What?
-
That was a bit confusing video. Ok, perhaps "confusing" is a bit too strong of a word. Vague, perhaps?
-
You should do some episodes on the axioms of mathematics! :)
-
I enjoyed this far more than I found anything useful from it.
-
At about 2:50 Ron uses the standard Euclidean norm (L2) to suggest that 1 + i is closer to 0 than 2 is. However I think the Manhattan norm (L1) is more appropriate here, where the distance is 2 in both cases.
-
I just love numberphile. A Great channel.
-
so the dude sells joint papers? 420 blaze it
-
I find it preposterous that people are allowed to publish under fake names. It is not as bad as faking data (Golden chopsticks video), but still very bad because the person could publish fake data and you would never be able to find the original author (or a person which happens to have that name gets in trouble instead).
-
Ron is with Paul now (Ron died on July 6 of Bronchieactis at 84)
-
Brilliant! In Mammalogy, this used to be quite common, too.
-
Thank you, It was very fun.
