This guy just calms me. I can't quite explain it. Just know he exists is this nice feeling.
I had the EXACT same feeling. I love this man's voice and what he says.
r/unintentionalASMR
He must be some kind of wizard. He makes English sound so elegant. Exquisite.
Mi Lia he's frensh that must be why
So like Bob Ross?
He's gonna freak out when he spots that spider on his coat...
I was so scared that I had to stop watching the vid :^)
that spider is not real
+Banama Really? :O
Banama
What? You gotta be kiddin' me.
that's what it wants you to think
This is who I imagine when I think of mathematician.
+Alessandro Verzasconi Wdym he's wrong?? That's who he thinks of how could that fact be proven wrong lol. Unless u know what he imagines...
so true.
Golol cohan No, this is the ideal.
And can you imagine that he's now a member of the French parliament? We have a strange government right now... and I like it!
BlunderCity Wow a mathematician in the government. I wish I could say that about my country, but at best we have are probably engineers or business majors, while the majority are even more uneducated.
It stuns me how eccentric he is. Hipsters have nothing on this guy. Great mathematician as well.
I like this man. He's so passionate about mathematics, and he seems to have maintained a sense of wonder about not only his field but also the world around him. Great video :)
+GengarMarmalade thanks. He's a top guy.
Villani
Villain
His betrayal will be sudden but inevitable
Just like Wash's dinosaur
+UriGerhard I would love to hear him say "Mine is an evil laugh!" in his soft voice and French accent. XD
@GengarMarmalade I was thinking exactly this just before I read your comment
Which pokemon gym does this guy lead?
all of them
He's on of the elite 4 of all elite 4s
The bug gym obviously
To me, he seems like the kind who'd lead an Earth gym, but then again his brooch tells a different story.
+Thadeus Stone I don't get it.
"I've been expecting you, Mr Bond."
hahahahaha best comment ever
My sides.
Come come Mr. Bond, you like differential equations as much as I do
Best finger snap ever
+Fightclub1995 he was good at it, right!
Almost burst my ear drums was so good
crisp
Thanos would disagree
Fightclub1995 6:29
I love his collection of stuff. He needs a Klein bottle, though. Klein bottles are cool.
And some pizza and an electric ruler
yes! Brady should get him one from "the Klein bottle guy"!
That would be an epic meeting. Klein Bottle Guy and French Cookies & Cream Guy.
+
I know just the guy who could hook him up
I love his intermittent nods to himself. He gives off an air of having thought through exactly what he wants to say and meaning it with his whole heart.
His book is so fantastic, It's filled with stories and anecdotes. It's not just "How I got a Fields Medal" it's more a glimpse of Mathematicians world, how do they works, how do they communicate with each other who are some amous mathematicians and why are they famous... it's a great book
What's the name of the book
Did you watch the video?
Birth of a theorem
Ayoub El « Théorème Vivant », in French. I read this recently, and it’s impressive!
@@babywhalecrypto1346 there is a numberphile interview on that too.
Hey Numberphile, please could you do more great videos like this. It's very interesting to see how and where mathematicians work.
+Haaris Siddique we will
+Numberphile
Please ask for an interview with Peter Scholze.
Cédric Villani is one of the few people who inspire me to pursue on the road of mathematics. to know that there are people out there who are living their passion, which is also my passion, just feels extraordinary. I always love it when he talks.
I love seeing some flashy scientists like this man. They're my favorites. And the way he speaks of mathematics is just charming.
I like this kind of video, showing how successful people live, how they introduce their world to people
+Seyhan thank you
+Numberphile very cool idea
This guy oozes charisma even though he probably doesn't want it.
Why would anyone not want charisma. Maybe you don't care about out but there's reason to actively not want it
He should've been my math teacher in my 8th grade year of middle school.
@@fyukfy2366 Well I wager he meant to say he doesn't want the attention for it, he's a humble fellow
Attended a public lecture by Cédric Villani last week, the experience was mesmerizing. The ease with which he explained his field of work to everyone was laudable. He's admirably humble for someone so accomplished
Not sure if you read your CZcams comments, Brady, but I would just like to say I'm increasingly impressed by the amount of fascinating, extraordinary and fantastic people you feature on this channel.
What a incredible circle of friends you have. Please more of Cedric, Tadashi and Matt Parker!
Prof. Villani is such the perfect archetype of the eccentric genius that it he seems more of a character than a real person.
You can just feel his love and passion for his work. Is a joy watching him.
really enjoyed this type of video :D
+Mullemeckmannen97 cheers
+Mullemeckmannen. Yes - Me too Great Work - we wove 'n weave spiders' kNots with concise rigor!
I could listen to this captivating genius and never become bored. He exudes pure brilliance in the most Willie Wanka verses Alexander Grothendieck sort of way. Thanks for a another great video.
What a beautiful, wonderful soul. If he has time, bring us more Cédric Villani! I could watch an infinite number of videos with him.
It is really beautiful to see these videos,as well as the other channels(sixty symbols,periodic videos,computerphile).I see people full of wonder about what they do.They took things that most people in our society find boring and found the magic that is contained within them.This year I will begin studying to become a physicist.I hope that the fire that burns within me,the thirst for knowledge and the feeling of wonder that I get when learning about these beautiful sciences never leaves me,I hope that one day I will be just a percentage as successful as the men and women in your videos.Thank you for making all these videos.
Thank you numberphile.
Villani is so much appreciable, for he interacts perfectly with social media
I think I already said this in another video with Mr. Villani, but he's such an amazing person! Love him.
If you listen very carefully, you can hear the sound of a thousand cgp grey souls screaming in agony.
that just made my day
Why?
So true.
+Antimony For the long answer, listen to all of the Hello Internet podcast. For the short answer, CGP Grey likes minimalism for where he lives and works, as he thinks that "stuff" is a distraction.
stuff often just becomes part of the environment if you dont think about the stuff to much. Stuff becomes walls and floors.
This man came to my uni while I was a freshman. Love his passion for mathematics. He made me love math even though it wasn't my major.
He spoke in one of my most favorite TED Talks videos. He has so much passion for math, it is beautiful.
Cedric Villani! I love this man he made a lecture in my university in Saudi I was so happy
wow, this was one of my favorite episodes
I'm almost finished his book Birth of a Theorem and this is exactly how I imaged his office to look like based on his writing.
Cedric is such a cool guy and a villain at the same time refering to his look :D
***** Indeed! :D
Guess that's why he's called VILLANI.
Also, his master plan to take over the world must somehow involve arachnids and supercalculators.
I absolutely love this man, more of him please?
1:45 you could say it's INTEGRAL to his life.
Badum tssst
@@Flashyfinancier The drum was three years late. lol I'm five years late!
@@novachromatic better late than never 👌
I too really enjoy these types of videos. Thanks Brady!
this was a casual podcast type video and I liked it. nice variety brady
He gives superb lectures; well worth searching CZcams for them!
It's been a rough and busy week at work, but this guy's voice kind of smoothes everything out.
Another great one! Thank you Brady and Cedric!
Happy to see my beloved Cameroon being talked about. Thanks for your service
M. Villani has a captivating personality yet seems quite humble. I'm very pleased when he is on the channel.
I am just so happy this guy exists
Great video! I love this guy!
One video of this guy is all that I have watched and these are my thoughts on Cedric-
Awesome Name.
Looks like an 18th century piano composer.
Passionate about mathematics and the world around him.
Calm mind and soothing speech.
Awesome spider obsession.
It's always refreshing when a human-centric Numberphile video pops up!
I would have loved to have taken a course from him. His passion for mathematics is awesome
More Villani please! He's awesome!
I love his quiet passion for Maths, it's infectious.
fascinating man, I could listen for hours.
This man is pure math and it's beautiful.
I think that Mr Villani is an absolutely interesting and epic individual!
He's my favorite mathematician! nice video loved it
My Office's full of circuits, cables, disk drives, two computers And LOTS of CDs. Seeing this many things boosts my creativity
He has a very characteristic appearance as well as accent. He has a large and mythical collection, including a set of currently inanimate superspiders. His surname is a thinly veiled anagram for villain. People, this is actually the one. This is real life's Final Boss.
This makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.
I found this to be quite interesting. We each have our own way of working, and it's interesting to see how others organise themselves. For me, that kind of environment would be distracting, whereas for others it's a source of inspiration and a memory-jogger.
Much more sympatic than the last video i have seen from Cedric Villani ;)
Vous voyez Cédric c'est un mec normal, il va à la Fnac comme tout le monde !
Sérieux il me déçoit…
j'avoue xD ! je l'ai connu avec le documentaire "Comment j'ai détesté les maths", et je trouve ce mec tellement spécial il me sidère, et là je le vois ici ? wtf ? xD
You should, baguette is good.
+Quaky I don't naturally speak food, but french is easy to learn instead ;) Even easier if you are a native English speaker, as these languages share about 20 to 30% of vocabulary !
Oui
So surreal to see his video after just meeting him!
And now, this impressive mathematician is also a deputy in France
Yep! It's a strange time in French politics right now and I like it. Half of MPs representing Macron's party are non politicians. It's refreshing!
And maybe the future mayor of Paris. He announced his candidature a few weeks ago ;)
@@19Edurne no way mate, way too low on the post-election surveys
I love this guy. More videos with him
I LOVE this - such good timing too because I'm reading his book. Mthmtcns' Cribs series on Numbaphile please.
He looks like he's from the Harry Potter movies' central casting. And I mean that as a compliment :)
He looks just like a wizard would in the Harry Potter universe. Thanks for helping me pin it down XD
He does mathemagic, he's a mathemagician! :3
specialty in complex incantations.
the kind that requires a big thick dusty book to break.
Nah he looks like Willy Wonka ^^
i could listen to this guy for hours.
This room looks like a CGP Grey nightmare! It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on!
awesome! a very interesting personality I wish to see more of!
What an intelligent speaker.
He looks like a Mathmagician. Please let that be the next episode : )
Oh I remember him from his Tedtalk! I watched a video of it, great talk man.
I had the opportunity with another 100 students to hear him give us a conference on his works right after he won the Fields medal, kinda overwhelming :)
The difference between me and a famous mathematician:
me: 🕷👈😨
Cédric: 🕷😁💕
I live his office! It inspires me
Glad to see a mathematician enamoured with visual beauty!
That is my favourite edition of the Elements of Euclid! :)
the question find an answer and it great to watch it just really is
i saw him in the TED talk video! awesome guy :)
Fascinating!
5:00 Fully agree! He is amazing
I didn't expect an actual video about a mathematician's office... The 'the' in the title suggested that's some kind of scientific term - haha, well, interesting nontheless. Kind of at least...
Help please Numberphile: Where is the video where Cedric shows off his spider collection!? Footage from it is present at the end of this video, but the annotation only takes you to a playlist with 2 videos, of 'The Mathematician's Office' and 'The Fields Medal', but neither contain the spider footage. Am I missing something?
His passion for Mathematics makes me want to cry... In a good way...
Often you can tell the state of a person's mind by how they keep their work space. I see a mind here full of many different topics, all at the ready to be explored.
"what you want fam?"
"Gimmie that lord farquad"
I have read his book-
Would definitely recommend it to any aspiring mathematicians.
I began listening to Cathrine Ribeiro after reading his book, 'Birth of a Theorem'. Haha... Also, I'll never forget Faa di Bruno's formula because of his book also. Great thinker. :P
This guy is incredible
It's really hard to tell which is more awesome; mathematicians or physicists.
i thought this was gonna be some sort of riddle but this is much better
I love this guy
When Brady asked his question at 4:14 I couldn't help but think he was doing so with CGP Grey in his mind, haha.
This man is a great man
This man oozes class.
love this objectivity vid 10/10
+BananamanDan insider knowledge
he looks like a villain and his name is Villani
he looks like the kind of villain that id want to grab a pint with
LU39
Like Mike Dawes
Anonymous Like Willy Wonka
@@lukeinvictus69 is this a spoiler
My high school inspiration 2 years ago...
Grande fierté francaise ce Cedric :)
Villani's book, Birth of a Theorem, is amazing. Those who have a passion for mathematics should really read this book.
Thank you.
am I the only one that the mess and untidiness around his office upsets me? but like him he is a true explorer at heart.
