Terence Tao: Structure and Randomness in the Prime Numbers, UCLA
Loading...
Uploaded by UCLA on Jan 22, 2009
Lecture for a general audience: Terence Tao is UCLA's Collins Professor of Mathematics, and the first UCLA
professor to win the prestigious Fields Medal. Less than a month after
winning the Fields Medal, Tao was named a MacArthur Fellow. The following month, Tao was named one of "The Brilliant 10" scientists by Popular Science magazine, which called him "Math's Great Uniter" and said that "to Tao, the traditional boundaries between different mathematical fields don't seem to exist." His Colloquium is titled "Structure and Randomness in the Prime Numbers."
The UCLA Science Faculty Research Colloquium Series is designed to
promote interdisciplinary research.
The Series is sponsored by the Divisions of Life and Physical Sciences,
UCLA College.
*Edit: For the question posed at [43:37], the word "Inters" should be "Integers"

He's such a great teacher in a way that, despite his problems with the idiom (also he speaks too fast) and his obvious shyness, he can make very difficult math problems sound easier than they really are, also he makes you want to know more...

Terence sounds like Sam in Transformers II when he tries to tell his university class that Newton? or Einstein was wrong. XD
