- čas přidán 13. 11. 2019
- Our latest student lecture is the first in the Quantum Theory course for Second Year Students. Fernando Alday reflects on the breakdown of the deterministic world and describes some of the experiments that defined the new Quantum Reality.
This is the sixth lecture in our series of Oxford Mathematics Student Lectures. The lectures aim to throw a light on the student experience and how we teach. All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.
You can also watch many other student lectures via our main Student Lectures playlist (also check out specific student lectures playlists): • Oxford Mathematics Stu...

I am an asian yet i didn't have any difficulty in understanding him. Why do have to criticize him, not all people have an American or British accent
You are right
Im mexican and the conduct for this people is the raeason for the instructive in the cereals. The profesor is bilingüe, for this he speak with the accent for spanglish. I hope you understand me, my english is not the best.
I’m asian and I understood him rather than the natives. Because he speaks slower and clearly.
I appreciate your thinking,I am also an Asian,an Indian and,a bengalee 🇮🇳
Debarpan no one even criticized him you are the only one bringing up his accent which is your problem quit acting noble
Did he just teach theory of quantum mechanics with his second language?
*bruhhh, that's dope*
English is the most easy foreign language to master.
I think he probably grew up in a Spanish-speaking country (maybe Spain) and he’s teaching this class in English!
Update: I googled Fernando Alday
“Fernando received his undergraduate education at Argentina, Instituto Balseiro, obtaining his degree in Physics in 2001. Thereafter, he was awarded his Ph.D. at SISSA, Trieste, Italy, in 2004. In 2010 he joined the University of Oxford and Hertford College, as a University Lecturer in Mathematical Physics. In 2012 he was awarded the title of Professor of Mathematical Physics.”
@The Formed Guy hey, i just got 3 on my dividing test
He is professor at one of the best universities in the world. You have to be genious to reach that level. And predominantly have a work ethic better than other intelligintelligent people
Mastermeida not true.
I was watching a video about airport runway lights, followed up by a Christmas speech by Queen Elizabeth, and here I am, learning Quantum Physics by an Argentinian professor magically teaching at Oxford uni. I love CZcams.
It's my boy, Fernando Alday!
Best lecturer, imo.

Im spanish, i know like 70% of english words and i understand EVERTHING perfectly, why you english ppl Criticize ?
Kevin Juhasz because they don’t understand anything about the lecture so they blame the accent... lmao
Because it's difficult for a native English speaker to follow an accented English speaker. I personally struggle to stay focused when listening to him and I mostly understand the content he's presenting. His English is fine in terms of grammar. I'm pretty sure if he wrote it all down it would be fine but it's difficult to listen to.
"Because it's difficult for a native English speaker to follow an accented English speaker."
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Not only talks utter rubbish, but doesn't even know the proper definition of the main word being used to talk utter rubbish!
What is an "accent"? It's the prominence or stress of syllables in words in terms of their loudness, pitch or length or a combination of any of those factors. Where in that definition does "native speaker" come up? NOWHERE! What does that mean? Why it means that native speakers of a language have an accent! Native speakers of a language can have many different combinations of loudness, pitch or length of syllable. Native speakers can have many accents!
There are many native speaker accents that I would find much more difficult to understand than this Spanish accent. Strong Dublin accent; broad Glaswegian accent and probably worst of all Deep South accent!
If you're going to talk about a person being difficult to understand at least understand the proper meaning of the terminology that you are trying to use!
@@davidpnewton I am honestly done with commenting on the Internet. How about you refrain from calling it rubbish unless you've actually got proof that it is? Also, can you not get into semantics? I know exactly what an accent is but colloquially we call foreign accented English as accented. It's absolutely the case with me and most of my friends. My parents that are non native speakers are much better at understanding non native English speakers with heavy foreign accents than I am. Most, if not all, of my friends feel the same way (most of them are from immigrant families and have noticed just how much better their parents are when it comes to understanding non native English speakers). Get over yourself.
It is NOT semantics in the sense of fussing over minor variations of the use of the word. It is the fundamental meaning of the word. I have never previously heard accent used in that colloquial way, and if it is being used in that colloquial way it's actually an extremely unhelpful colloquialism as it introduces huge problems of understanding.
As for me "proving" what you said was rubbish, I need do nothing of the sort. Your fundamental misuse of the meaning of the word crucial to the assertion you are making does all the proving that is needed. Given what you have said I suspect that I could legitimately call your English a foreign accent. Reason for that? I suspect that you live in the United States. That's a foreign nation to me, and I am a native English speaker myself. So when I reference the Deep South accent, technically I am talking about a foreign accent from my perspective.
Turning to the point of substance, does he have a slightly thick accent? Yes. It's a fairly standard accent for a Spaniard speaking English. Is it comprehensible and can the lecture be understood by native speakers? Yes to both questions. Clearly it can't be understood easily by all native speakers, as you prove. Oh and he does write virtually everything he says of importance down.
BTW before anyone jumps in to criticise and say anything about a Spaniard understanding what I say, yes I do speak Spanish. I don't speak it particularly well in terms of vocabulary, but in terms of pronunciation I speak it very well.
I can understand spanish accent more than british accent😶
And im an asian.
Because they speak clear and slow. I'm Indonesian and I do the same with u
he is argentinian
Yoar AT yes but the language is Spanish, not Argentinian

"IS THE FONT LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK"

I'm not even in this class and I'm already stressed.
This is indeed a good lecturer who knows how to project and explain a complex subject in a concise and simplified way. Well done, Professor Fernando!!!
The way he writes his letters is very interesting. I've never thought that you could even write letters like that, yet it works perfectly fine!

Being able to stop and research a point of confusion is invaluable if you want to learn. This makes the videos a much more powerful learning tool than the lectures per se !
Salute to these great teachers .. who take so much pain in lifting those heavy boards, and teach with their full dedication for our brighter future🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏
Because he is indian and i am also indian
no1 asked
You can make fun of his language but he can “speak” a language that you may never even get closer to being fluent in. Mathematics.
Bruh legit no one is mocking or making fun of his accent
But it is difficult to understand someone with this kind if accent
Who gives a fuck?

Because of Quantum Mechanics

I just watched "Trash can destroys kid" and this was recommended, I guess the quantum theory calculates the youtube algorythm for Recommended :D
I dont know
Just grateful Oxford Mathematics is allowing this to be seen by all. Very interesting, thank you
Here's a lecturer that wants to aid his students' learning. When I studied engineering at university there were very few supportive lecturers, and a few who malevolently prevented learning. Their techniques included 1. raising the level to confuse the students 2. deliberately speaking too fast 3. writing incoherently on the whiteboard.
Pray tell, what motivation would they have to do that? I find it more likely that you blame your failure on understanding the content on your professors.
Maxim Enis It’s not that they purposely wanted to prevent your learning. Instead, these professors simply are not good professors.
doing a wrong whiteBoard on purpose is just FATAL....
I'm a linguistics student in New Zealand but this professor is just so damn compelling to listen to
If I ever feel really smart I’ll remember to come back to these Oxford Uni maths lectures
same here bruh,same here
This is very basic Quantum mechanics actually
@@renevillela129 Yes but it's advanced in yes of mathematics you don't have to drag people down to make yourself seem smart
@@elliotoliver3492 I am not trying to make myself seem smart. I'm just telling the truth. If you are studying Physics, these are the basics of the basics. The fact that it seems completely foreign to everyone else that's not studying Physics doesn't change that. Just like any basic medical concept that is incomprehensible for me doesn't make it objectively hard
@@renevillela129 Yeah you are right. I do alevel physics and this is basically just year 1 alevel content to be fair, with a bit of year 2 mixed in.
All the while that my maths teacher is explaining the probability of me passing his class, I am watching some dude with a heavy Spanish accent teaching Quantum fricking Theory at fricking Oxford!!
*BRAVO*
I just love it when he says “quantum theory”
Excellent prof, he explains extremely clear and simple.
He speaks concisely. Says what is necessary and nothing more. Easy to understand lecture
Those people there are paying for their class while I just got it for FREE
Stonks😎
Yeah but they can use it to get 80 percent of jobs in the world. You’re just a nerd. Not stonks
@@adamfattal468 you don't need a degree in mathematics for 80% of the jobs in the world ...
Haha funny people arguing about a Joke around here

I am Fernando Alfray, the first pen of Oxford, and you will treat me with respect.
bruh this guy’s accent is way more clear and understandable than American or British accent
That actually doesn't even make sense
yeah it is painful for me to hear, i speak all languages with perfect accent
Hispanics and indian accenst sounds very clear
Finally a smart comment
Now I can tell everyone that I attended an Oxford lecture!
His accent and his lecturing skill is one of the best combinations in this world!!
I need to watch this video once a night...there is something that catches me so bad. Fernando you are the best.
I am not mathematician but I enjoyed watching this lecture because it’s clear and contains nuggets on how to teach/lecture. Thanks Professor Alday.
His accent indeed confuse me at first, but after 5 minutes, i become used to his accent and able to follow his lesson better.
Outside of his accent, he has a talent as a lecturer because he delivered his lesson flawlessly. Even for me whom dumb at math, i could follow this. Amazing. This is the first time i am able to understand advance math.
Good lecture...very clear in terms of writing/notes. I remembered some of my maths lecturer who talked and just scribble here and there for the whole lecture...assuming the studnts to understand😆. some are difficult to understand in terms of their pronounciation...my russian lecturer. Nevertheless...they are all very experienced professors and appreciate all the knowledge they gave...
The pen through happens at 2:15.
You are welcome.
Now you can go back to the algorithm's sink hole again 😂
Edit: it gets picked up by the lecturer at 11:36.
My brain is Quantumized after watching this lecture
We can learn a lesson from this video that,your pronunciation doesn't matter,your knowledge matters👍🇮🇳
I’m here because I enjoy knowing that there actually are maths and physics professors who explain things and don’t just expect you to know the answer just by “following you intuition” (I’m not even kidding) 🙂
Wow. Wish I had him as a professor. He is far better than the ones I had.
Professor: *Spends 20 mins explaining a complex theory
Professor: “Is that Okay?”
God bless all those who learn these things and build the technologies that i get to enjoy today.
1,) Do not face your audience. Your audience, and particularly the thousands of people out on CZcams, all want to see the back of your head. A lot. All through the lecture.
2.) Spend a lot of time writing stuff on the board. You don't want the lecture to go too quickly.
3.) Make the important stuff visual. Nothing gives us the feeling we're getting a university education like reading "*WE WILL NOT GIVE A FIRST PRINC DERIVATION (NO ONE CAN!)" which you have written with your very own hands on tHe white-board whIle we watched. This is very inspirational.
Lecturing has improved a lot since I was taught this at Oxford in 1963!!
help
I like his lectures.
The way he writes the letter “s”. Love his accent and the way he discussed the topic
Though I am philosophy student bt I can easily understand Sir's lecture, nice , informative and awesome
dawg, i’m not even in school but here i am.
Did the quarantinee really boring to the point we are willing to watch quantum physics?

Yes

Great lecture learnt a lot, Thank you Oxford University.
The teaching of the teacher was very good, very clear and I liked it very much and the constant monitoring made us understand this lesson, but clearly in the physics lesson that you are teaching, I love and love the subject. This is especially the case of the teacher's teaching activities. Each student should follow this lesson regularly so that the students can understand it.
He’s kinda cute asking his students in literally every 5 minuets if it’s okay?
My teacher won’t even give a shit. He’s like “woah, you guys being so quite...so I’ll assume that you are all understand, the next is .&@$$@-&-&&@“
😂😂🤣
Then maybe you shouldn’t be quiet if you don’t understand...
James Glass lol...we shouldn’t, but he won’t give us a tiny space to compose ourselves after being stunned by his lessons before we even going to ask tho...he went to the next thing so quickly...but we can just ask him when the class finished after all.😂
He is Argentinian and here all professors are same like he
I want full playlist of the lecture. It helps a lot. Thanks Oxford...
Many thanks for this great free lesson professor
Sounds like a fun class 👍🏼
His lecture is good for students.
You know its serious when the boards can slide.
I have questions
I have qus. Haunting me
Considering English is likely this guys second language his vocabulary and word choice is excellent
I found it absorbing.Including his English and the board work.And,I am past Ninety!
meanwhile ME : oh my gosh what should i doo its my chemistry test today !
CZcams : physics quantum theory ?
ME : hell yeah
For anyone wondering, that's the argentinian/italian accent (quite the same actually).
As an argentinian, hearing that accent made me follow the lecture way easier :D
If you are an Indian student then this lecture is great and very easy to understand.
I thoroughly enjoy watching these videos, maybe a bit too much...it really makes me feel like I'm in school again...except now, I have my pipe in-hand and some wine to thoroughly enjoy this lecture at my leisure. The inception of the internet is a beautiful thing, a mixed blessing perhaps in the grand-scheme of things, but in my own anecdotal world, a beautiful thing, it is.

Watching this video my procrastination has reached new heights.
Started out watching tiny meat gang videos somehow ended up here learning quantum theory
Started at gay, British and sad ticktocks. Now im here?
We can actually read what he is writing unlike some other professors i saw that right like doctors.
Can’t believe I’m taking Quantum Mechanics at Oxford now. Wow 🤩
