      I’m sorry but Pro. Moon Duchin, hands down WINS ‘Best Professor Name in the Whole World’ award!😘💕
      EDIT: After watching this whole video, Pro. Moon Duchin is now _my,_ “If you could take just one person to lunch, living or dead, who would it be?” her, it’d be her. I could teach her about decorating & design, the lunch could last days. I’m all for that.😂😂😂

    As a mathematician, it is nice to see a mathematician in the video. But it is not nice how she does not really answer some of the questions. She kind of just says “well, this area of math is what answers your question”, and she doesn’t even give an example.
    For example, why letters? Well, you don’t need to use letters, you can use🐈 if you want. The thing is that you need to be clear that you don’t know the value of🐈, but you are still able to solve the problem. Then, if some comes and say “well,🐈 is 5 (or 43, or 0.2, or -17)”, then you can substitude🐈 for that value. But in that moment you already solved the problem. And it is powerful because instead of solving the problem for 5, then solving for 43, then solving for 0.2, you do it once, and that’s it.

    she’s great but but she is still talking about abstraction, what i can’t comprehend about math it’s how abstraction became a real thing. why pi is in every circle object in the world? I just don’t understand

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 18, 2022 at 6:34 pm

      a lot of math – and by “a lot” I mean _most_ – is taking a specific instance of a problem, poking and prodding at it, and trying to make it more general. for example, let’s say we have a big circle drawn out on the ground, and you’re standing on the edge. get one of your friends, and set up a little race: both of you start at the same point, but you have to run in a straight line all the way across the circle, and your friend has to run all the way around the circle back to where they started. if we ask _how much faster does your friend have to run to beat you?_, the answer is pi! pi is just a way to talk about circles (or circle-y shapes) that relates how wide a thing at its fattest point to how long its boundary is – and no matter how wide the circle is, the ratio of width:circumference will always be the same.

    Both axes of the coordinate system/complex plane at 4:42 have one to many directions.
    Besides this nitpick this is a good laid back mathematics video. 👍

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 18, 2022 at 10:44 pm

      what?

    • Zsolt Nagy

      February 18, 2022 at 10:50 pm

      @Anthony Pizzimenti Both axes have two arrows on each ends. But there should be only one arrow at the positive end for each axes.

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 18, 2022 at 10:53 pm

      @Zsolt Nagy have you heard of the numbers -1 and -i

    • Zsolt Nagy

      February 18, 2022 at 11:04 pm

      @Anthony Pizzimenti Yeah, I heard of them.
      Ever heard of ordered real numbers?
      … -3 > -2 > -1 > 0

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 18, 2022 at 11:18 pm

      ​@Zsolt Nagy eh fair enough. it’s pretty standard practice in the US, at least, to have arrows pointing in each direction indicating the numbers go to negative inifinity and positive infinity.

      but also… she’s a math professor so I’ll defer to her judgment 🙂

    February 18, 2022 at 10:47 pm

    What I really wanted to know is… we invented crazy geometries by altering rules of euclidian geometry. Have we invented similar alternate math systems relying on variations in the order of equations? Admittedly I suspect not, because as she points out order of operations is a convention, it’s just… spelling for math. There’s interesting stuff to be done to it (i.e. polish notation) but you’re still notating the same math, the same language.

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 18, 2022 at 10:51 pm

      What do you mean by “variations in the order of equations”? I promise I’m not being a jerk, I’m genuinely interested in answering your question

    • circeus

      February 18, 2022 at 11:39 pm

      @Anthony Pizzimenti I mean that in calculating 1+2×3, we have to go “two times three equals six, plus one is seven” not “one plus two equals three, times three is nine”

      Now I’m really curious: what else did you think I could mean?

    Absolutely amazing video! I really do wish that Math teachers included more on the history behind the subject that they are teaching though.

    “Modern mathematics tends to obliterate history. Each new school rewrites the foundations of its subject in its own language, which makes for fine logic but poor pedagogy.” – Robin Hartshorne in his 1977 book “Algebraic Geometry”.

    π is just the length of an half circle. It’s pretty easy to explain. I’m surprised she didn’t mention it.

    • Li Yi-Hua

      February 19, 2022 at 11:01 am

      that is one perspective to look at the definition of pi. but the number pi can be defined in lots of ways. and come up with a outside-of-box idea to look into the old stuff is part of what mathematician do.

    February 19, 2022 at 12:24 pm

    Cool video! But I think the answer to the question „why multiplication first?“ was not quite spot on. She said that this is the rule because such number systems turned out to be useful. Im pretty sure the answer is, that its just convention without deeper meaning. Without this rule you would have to wright a lot of parentheses more, to say in which order you are taking the operations. There is nothing fundamental about that and only the notation not the meaning nor results would change without or with a different rule (eg. addition first).

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 19, 2022 at 6:35 pm

      pls remember that she is a professional mathematician and probably knows a bit more about this than you

    • NutziHD

      February 19, 2022 at 6:56 pm

      @Anthony Pizzimenti Did you think about what I wrote?
      She just did not really answer the question (maybe she misunderstood it), this is normal and happens to all of us, even to professional mathematicians. Nonetheless the reason for the rule „multiplication before addition“ is exactly what I wrote. There is no deeper meaning.
      I don’t know your technical background, but let me try to explain: addition and multiplication are just functions that take two numbers as inputs and one as the output. Instead of writing addition with the usual f(a,b) notation we write a+b, instead of g(a,b) we write a*b. With this (so called in-place) notation it is not clear what a+b*c means, you have to place parentheses to indicate the order of operations (adding first, then multiplying, or the other way around). With the usual notation for functions this is no problem: f(a,g(b,c)) = a+(b*c) and g(f(a,b),c) = (a+b)*c. The rule to multiply first is just handy, because then a+b*c is not arbitrary anymore and you don’t need to write () around the product. If this didnt convince you just google it

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      February 19, 2022 at 9:24 pm

      ​@NutziHD I have a degree in math and am going to grad school for math! but I think this whole argument is predicated on your misunderstanding her answer. she answered the original question right away: the rules were developed over time because they worked well for the things people were trying to do (and with our standard ways of adding, multiplying, exponentiating, etc.). but then she talked about how different ways of doing arithmetic are common in math, and can be useful for modeling things and building theory. I think you just smushed her answers together.

      February 19, 2022 at 8:55 pm

      it isn’t! the “1+2+3+…=-1/12” is called the Ramanujan summation, and the “sums” used in there – and the “+”es in the equation – aren’t the same kind of sums we’re used to thinking about with basic arithmetic. it’s just a different kind of addition!

    The algorithm is the description of what must be done by a computer to solve a given problem. The sequence of solving a problem with a high level of difficulty is organized, facilitated, and even possible, when following the steps of construction of the algorithm and then the flowchart, so that the program can be written in the programming language.

    As a mathematician, have no doubt, statistics is the most abused area. The most common error is judging a voluntary cohort by general population demographics. For example, since blacks represent 13-percent of the general population therefore 13-percent should be software developers, an observation that Jesse Jackson once posited. As a black man that had a 29-year career as a commercial system software developer, it is the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. It suggest that those in the black culture are just as interested as those in other cultures; not true. In the same way, I doubt one would ever find parity, between men and women, in the field of nursing. That stated, many men are entering the field, choosing to become emergency room nurses because of the money.

    I think that most of the time, we make maths overcomplicate instead of an interesting piece of thought, what in fact, is what it really is. I’m not saying that there’s no complicated stuff in maths, of course it does, but any field of study will have their knotty areas.
    The thing is: math is this one thing that can sparks people’s mind in the deep thinking, like philosophy does.

I flunked math in hs, had to retake it after school and I did so much better when I taught myself. Probably because there was no one telling me how to think. I have ADD and that probably affects this little complex.

By learning how to use that, you are learning how to learn and problem solve. You are unlocking your ability to tackle higher level problems. I think the rest of what she said about enjoying math was undercut when she said something challenging was useless.

Definitely not for everyone but I think I just had too many “bad” math teachers and the curriculum was so dry and stale and you could never grasp the applications of the math we were using. I learned it for the grade. Now that I’m learning it for my own self-knowledge it’s a lot more fascinating to me and there are hundreds of resources online to be able to learn or in my case, “relearn” math.

  174. Mark Carey

    February 25, 2022 at 11:17 am

    The answer about music was a little off – equal temperament (think guitars and pianos) is an approximation to ratios which are exact – for instance a major scale would be 9/8 10/9 16/15 9/8 10/9 9/8 16/15 in what is called just intonation which is the pure harmonic scale (i.e all the intervals are pure and exact) but the equal temperament approximation is where you divide the octave into twelve equal pieces so a semitone is the twelfth root of 2 and these divisions count equally each octave (which is where the logarithmic scaling comes in because an octave is a doubling in frequency) so the above scale in equal temperament semitones becomes 2212221 – this has the advantage that all the tones are equal so you can cycle through all keys and modes without retuning your instrument although none of those scales will be exactly precise harmonically. This is why electric guitarists generally play “power chords” (5ths) if they want a clear sound because the 3rd cops a lot more damage vs the 5th in the equal temperament system and you can hear that it is more out of tune when it is amplified vs acoustic.

    Example of math being misused:

    NSA planting cryptographic backdoors into software. Cryptography is the study of using math to secure information. When you access a website, your computer is calculating equations in the background in order to scramble the data sent between your computer and the website in such a way that nobody else can read it. The NSA and other security agencies have in the past tried to develop algorithms for scrambling this data (encryption) that give them a unique edge in un-scrambing it. This allows them to intercept encrypted communications and read what is being encrypted.

    Think of it as you sending letters to a friend, but you don’t want anyone at the post office to read your letters, so you use a special code that only you and your friend knows. The code is designed such that anyone can know exactly how the code works, but without a special number that only you and your friend knows, they will be chanceless in deciphering the letters. This is how modern encryption works. But designing these codes is difficult, and involves some extremely advanced mathematics. Nation states might attempt to use clever mathematics in order to conseal weaknesses in these codes that only they can exploit, such has been the case many times.

    February 26, 2022 at 12:22 am

    Another way to find out an Even number:
    Just take the number you want to Check and devide by 2 if the result is a whole number With a remainder of Zero Its an Even number.
    By This Definition Zero is also an Even number.

    0/2 ist 0 which has a remainder of Zero .

    This is called Modulo.

    Its actually the way described here, But the other way round to prove Zero is Even.

    “They spelled it algorhythm… I like it, I’m gonna keep it” – the world’s coolest mathematician. Also, as a Classicist/Philosopher, we also looovvveee real blackboards. There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of finishing an enormous irregular Latin declension chart or determining a complex argument is valid with a massive truth table on a real blackboard with chalk. I’m honestly just trying to find things in common with Professor Duchin because I love her.

    Quick note
    The concept of zero as a number was developed in India actually, not in Maya.
    Indian people also developed the number system we use today (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
    And on top of that developed the rules that we use today on working with zero for addition, multiple, subtraction and division. Though nowadays we take those for granted as a given.

    To add to 15:48 about infinite amount of points between two points: it was a very hard question in the ancient times, where they also couldn’t wrap their heads around moving through infinities and still being able to get somewhere. The conclusion that was not presented in the video is: mathematicians over time have proven that it is possible for infinity to sum up to a finite number! The easiest example is:
    1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + … = 2
    so if you take a step, then half a step, then quarter of a step, then eigth of a step and so on, then after you’ve taken those infinite amount of steps you will move a whole 2 steps 🙂

    You can’t be a decent mathematician and genuinely think equality comes without randomized districting.

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      March 4, 2022 at 4:53 pm

      it’s interesting because equitable representation and blindly-drawn districts _don’t_ go hand in hand! there’s a good body of research (most published with Moon’s name on it) that talks about this problem at length

    • Angry Black Man

      March 4, 2022 at 4:59 pm

      @Anthony Pizzimenti that’s the problem paisan. Equitable. The very term suggests changing the methodology to fit a preferred outcome, when the methodology SHOULD be randomized districting OR combining districts to incorporate a more diverse voter registration.

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      March 4, 2022 at 8:27 pm

      @Angry Black Man redistricting is too human a problem to leave to computers! there are variables and tradeoffs that are difficult to tell a computer how to think about or prioritize, and that’s on top of algorithm design which always has hidden nuance, and the fact that the space of possible districting plans is so unimaginably large that we’ll *never* be able to fully explore it.

      and… shouldn’t we change the system to get preferred, fair outcomes? the voting rights act changed how states should write election laws, how elections should be conducted, and how districts should be drawn and – surprise, surprise – Black and Latino representation went _way_ up. I do agree with you about combining districts, or alternative electoral systems like ranked-choice voting with multi-member districts: those provide more proportional representation and don’t “lock out” anyone who’s in a minority.

    There is an Emmy Nöther… high school basically, advanced high school… gymnasium, in Berlin. If I wouldn’t have moved to a different Bundesland (state), I would’ve visited that school. It’s highly scientific, with a little indoor Zoo, a planetarium and a total of 4 different math courses you can take (scaling in difficulty, of course). It’s a great school, and most of my ex-friends went and still go to that school, we were the smarty-pants.

    I’m a math student. I know one example of math that can be used for evil, and it’s funny, because it’s about gerrymandering. Specifically, it was an article about how to make gerrymandered districts that don’t look gerrymandered, with nice simple shapes. Though this isn’t my field of study; it just happened to be in a magazine lying around my uni’s study room.

    When you say a computer algorithm is a underlying set of instructions , are you referring to a sub routine that the computer program can access (if necessary , like sorting the data) and exit. I can see how letters can be used when numbers might have their limitations or need to be supplemented. Base 10 arithmetic is suffice for me, but a computer scientist might need a base 16 system, so after using number’s 0-9 (base 10), A-F would be needed to complete 16 “symbols”. Interesting how you refer mathematics as sometimes being a collective consensus. A collective consensus would make life more manageable, as long as it isn’t taken to the extremes (like a collective society trying to assimilate each other into Borgs). Enjoyed your video, I’m not a math scholar/pundit so my opinions are subjective at best.

    14:30 – I’m a math major and I disagree with “you’ll never gonna need this”.

    Basic algebra is all about identifying patterns. It is kinda boring due its repetitive nature, but the idea is that you get a keen eye to patterns in nature and your daily life that you could simplify.

    Good use of this would help you simplify future algebra systems, logical problems, source codes, your personal finance as well as your business or your company’s business finances.

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think it is smart to ignore this helpful tool. But the exercise won’t explain you all this, you need a good math teacher to do that

    Let’s start with addition, so 1 + 1 + 1 + 1= 4

    To make it more convenient, let’s make it shorter by turning it into an “expression”, so 4 x 1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ( 1 + 1 four times) = 4

    Now if someone write 3 + 4 x 1, this means 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. You can’t do 3 + 4 first then x 1, because the 4 and 1 are both tied up first, thus you need to calculate/solve it first

    If you do 3 + 4 then x 1, then we are not going by the meaning of the “expression” we created before, because the “4 x” part is just an expression, not a “real number”

    Same goes with square, for example 2 x 2 x 2, let make an “expression” for this kind of operation, let write it as 2^(3) –> two to the power of three

    Thus, when we want to calculate 2 x 2^(3) we should the 2^(3) first because it’s a packet of operation

    Hope it helps 🙂

    The answer to the question about an infinite number of points between 0 and 1 is simple: the universe doesn’t care what our tiny brains think about it. It just exists. And if you try to understand it and put a label on it you’re gonna have this problem of walking an infinite number of points in 1 meter. Because 1 meter doesn’t exist. We just assume it does. We understand things by putting a number on things. You travel a distance of 1 meter because that is a standard measurement. That standard could have been anything but we chose for it to be 1 meter

    4:50 why did you write “IR” (which denotes the set of all real numbers) when you clearly drew a complex plane? You would never use “IR” in that situation, ESPECIALLY without making it abundantly clear what the “y-axis” denotes. This may be one of the only places where you SHOULDN’T use “IR” because it looks suspiciously like you labeled your graph as existing in the “real” coordinate system instead of the complex plane. Plus not many people know what “IR” stands for. I just think we can tell that 1, 2 and 3 are numbers. But wasn’t the question about imaginary numbers? Why not talk about those mean or what i means? Why show a complex plane as if that is somehow an answer to the question?

    6:22 Pi is the ratio of the diameter of a circle to the circumference of a circle. In a square, that ratio is 4 if the term “diameter” is the side length of the square or the separation between two parallel lines of the square. That complicated power series she mentioned is essentially the mathematical way of “fudging” your way to pi by creating a “fake circle” out of lots of slicing and adding to a square until it looks “circle-y”. Some famous mathematician (maybe Pythagoras?) approached the problem in a similar way, by drawing squares, pentagons, hexagons etc around (and inside) a circle, until he reached the largest “n-polygon” he could draw in the sand and still measure. This is how pi was first measured. Lots of fudging. But it isn’t that complicated.

    Pi is the measure of the geometrical structure of a circle. The circumference of any circle will always be ~3.14 times as large as the diameter. In other words, if you snipped the side of the circle and unfurled it into a line, that line will always be exactly pi times as long as the distance between any two tangent vectors on the original circle that are parallel.

    In simpler words, pi is simply a ratio. 4 is simply the ratio of a square’s perimeter to its side length. ~3.14 is simply the ratio of a circle’s perimeter to its “side length”, which we define to be as two points on directly opposite “sides” of a circle.

    15:54 this Twitter user is just playing dumb, he already knows this is a commonly known “paradox” (Zeno’s), and definitely knows the answer or couldn’t be bothered to try to understand any of the literal thousands of explanations out there. The reality is, the Planck length is the shortest unit of meaningful distance in the universe, along with the Planck time being the smallest meaningful unit of time, so this paradox really is just a figment of mathematics. Nothing in the universe (key word, in) is infinite. Or infinitely small. Infinity is not real whatsoever, it simply is an abstract concept. There is no way to logically implement it into the real world. There are not an infinite amount of points you could be at between two endpoints. You simply have to click along “space” in these tiny steps. You can’t take half a Planck length step.

    A more mathematical answer:
    If you infinitely divide the distance, you must infinitely divide the time required to travel that distance as well. The ratio of how far you go to how long it takes to go that far will be the SAME (assuming constant walking speed), no matter how small the steps.
    dx/dt = x/t where x is distance and t is time, assuming constant velocity. The average velocity is x/t, the instantaneous velocity is dx/dt (which is basically math speak for: a tiny smidge of x over a tiny smidge of t), the slope of the t vs x graph. That slope, if you truly are always moving forward, will always be greater than 0 and less than infinity. No matter how you subdivide it, you are still traveling one tiny click of distance, which takes a tiny click of time. You can’t scale the distance and time axes disproportionally and say, “well the distance didn’t change, but now there are 10 time steps I have to take, or 100? Or 10000000000? That’s too many steps, I would never finish!”. The least profound paradox in all of mathematics. I hate how much clickbait this paradox has gotten. It’s just so incredibly shallow, no shade to Zeno cause like for his time, it was a fine question. Not so much so a fine question to ask in 2022 as if you just thought of it yourself. Because you didn’t mr Twitter user. You stole the idea to masquerade as your own knowledge. If you had thought of it yourself, you also most likely would have the wherewithal to figure it out yourself too. Anyway rant over good day lads and ladies

    March 7, 2022 at 1:34 pm

    16:45 the best question of the whole video and most profound by far. Chalk it up to English for thinking that language, specifically a very bizarre language like English, was the only way to teach such an abstract concept as algebra to the masses. The youth would be much better off is we replaced letters with abstract yet simplistic shapes in order to show how arbitrary and symbolic they truly are. We’ll get it right in the future I promise, it just may take, you know, 1000 years or something given how hard it is for the US to change to metric lol. I have faith that we can de-stupefy math so that we don’t have the VAST majority of students being lost because of poor teaching techniques and customs.

    The „Pi“ answer was surprisingly vague. I mean, it was right but also unnecessarily imprecise, no? Pi is just the length of the circle-arc (the circumference) if the diameter is 1. Or the ratio between the length of the circle-arc and the diameter. Per definition. Nothing more to it.

    Consequently, you need Pi for everything she said.

    Biharwe Miller’s ltd deals in maize products, the sale manger has revealed that the firm cannot make any supplies unless the price per killo of maize flour exceeds 300/=. He also said that the firm is willing to supply 200 more units for every 100/= increase in price. The PED for maize flour is 0.1 consumers are also willing to demand 1500 units of the firm can accept a price of 600/= per unit. It has established that when the market clears the firm with average variable cost per unit of 400/= earns 640,000/= net of tax of 20%
    Required:
    a) write down the firm’s costs and revenue functions.
    b) Determine the break even quantity .

    I didn’t like the algorithm definition…

    An algorithm of a function f:x–>f(x), f(x)=INT[5X] might be
    Step 1: Take the number x and multiply it by 5 to get the number a
    Step 2: Integrate a

    Now,this might seem like it can be done by a computer, but it can’t, since it needs more steps to integrate, maybe defining INT(ax)=ax²/2 or adding the Risch Algorithm.
    What I mean is that we could have an algorithm that couldn’t be replicated by a computer

    • Anthony Pizzimenti

      March 17, 2022 at 7:52 pm

      the definition f: x->f(x) is self-referential and doesn’t make sense, also she literally says that algorithms don’t have to be interpretable by computers to be considered algorithms

    I’m 100% not a math person, but I have a thing about math I like. It’s the thing one of my high school teachers said. Math is often perceived as something accurate and concrete, but in reality it is super abstract. Like, what is five? There’s no five in the world, there are no numbers themselves in the nature. There are five apples, five cats, five days. But there isn’t just FIVE.
    I was 16 or 17, and I hadn’t think about that before, so I was just sitting there for a minute thinking ‘wow’. And even now I sometimes just randomly stop doing whatever I am doing, and think how there’s no FIVE.

    You won’t necessarily need exactly that answer. But that’s not the point of homework. It is to train you in the skill and evaluate your understanding of solving those types of algebra problems.
    And you may very well need that skill, if not a related skill that you learn in another question. Not to mention you will likely need the type of logical thinking you use to solve those problems.
