Ben is awesome.
@Dan-id1rq Great lecture on maths given by a passionate mathematician on Fibonacci Numbers. He's right saying that maths should give us calculation, application and inspiration. And suggesting that it should be given in a gripping way to light a spark in learners. Also, YES for the assumption that math is not only for solving the X, but also for asking why.
I, like many others who gave comments here, also hated math in (high) school due to the way it was taught by our maths teacher. He was very strict with us. He has his favourite formula to call us in to answer ("And today is reporting to the answer...mentioned pupil's name). He also has many weird worldviews that he likes to share with us.
And dozens of maths tasks he used to give us as homework.
I think that that's all set out in us a bit of a feeling of dangerousness in relation to him, and, as a result, to this wonderful subject.Thus, I have no doubts that many of the students would just love maths if it were given to us, like in this TED podcast.
@wl7045We did not create math! We discovered that We are mathematical machines in a Platonic solid holographic fractal multiple dimensional universe of light
@capwlfThe Last Humble Smile 6:13 😊, I loved it
@HolySMuktieh-z3gWonderful Fibonacci show!
@EduardoGorab Fibonacci is a translator, he had taken them from somewhere else so is better to call those numbers according the origin of the place where he had travelled.
If I had translated Arthuf Schopenhauer, that does not mean I am the author of Das Leben als Will und Darstellung.
@urimtefiki226 I really hates mathmatics until this.. but after I seeing this my descision changed :).
I also have a question why the school motherf***s don't teach this... 😡
@Bakhshi-f2qFEEEBonocchi!
@tylascraig9306I think God is fabulously humorous by nature. I can just see him creating earth. 1 1 2 3 Here we go now. 😂
@AmandaCook-rc8ce Great show. A tad condescending in it's delivery and tone but appreciated nonetheless.
FATHER in heaven is the original and only mad hatter scientist. But, HIS children do pretty good with what's been given.
Numbers are HIS building blocks. HIS elements on HIS periodic table, HIS chemistry set.
HIS footstool, Earth, his laboratory.
This flesh age is just an experiment, folks. Soon, these things will be considered former, for they all pass away with a fervent heat. One so hot, it'll strip off all electrons. The physical world, with all it's elements, will melt. Be stripped down to it's muon levels. On a celestial scale. Not just Earth, herself singular. No one's getting out alive, in a flesh body. Irregardless of where it may reside in this universe.
WORD.
@randyrowland6744OK,that sum of fibonacci squares trick was nice,hadn't seen that before.
@PeterWolf-l3jThe entire decimal system and Fibonacci numbers are a gift from the ancient Hindu scholar to the world.
@Hey-c2b7hFibonacci is anything but Virahanka numbers given by Indian Mathematician for poetry and music long before Fibonacci. The Irony with Indians are belief in giving and not doing Patents.
@sanjeevb6133 While the Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo Fibonacci, who popularized it in the West, its roots are intertwined with the work of al-Khwarizmi and other scholars from the Islamic Golden Age. Al-Khwarizmi, a key figure at the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, significantly contributed to the spread of Hindu-Arabic numerals (which include the zero and decimal system) and algebraic concepts, both of which were foundational for Fibonacci's work. Fibonacci, in his "Liber Abaci," introduced these mathematical ideas to Europe, including the sequence now known as the Fibonacci sequence.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Al-Khwarizmi's Influence:
Al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and geographer, was a central figure in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. His work on arithmetic and algebra, including the introduction of Hindu-Arabic numerals, was crucial in shaping the mathematical landscape of the time. He also developed the lattice multiplication method, which was later introduced to Europe by Fibonacci.
Fibonacci's Role:
Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo of Pisa, traveled extensively in the Mediterranean and learned about Hindu-Arabic numerals and mathematical techniques from various sources, including al-Khwarizmi's work. In his "Liber Abaci," he presented these ideas to a European audience, popularizing the use of these numerals and the concept of the Fibonacci sequence, which he used as an example in the book.
The Fibonacci Sequence:
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (e.g., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...). While Fibonacci is credited with bringing this sequence to wider attention in the West, it had been described earlier in Indian mathematics.
Legacy:
Al-Khwarizmi's contributions laid the groundwork for the development of algebra and the widespread use of Hindu-Arabic numerals, which were essential for Fibonacci's work. Fibonacci, in turn, played a vital role in transmitting these mathematical ideas to Europe, significantly impacting the development of Western mathematics.
@RipplereflectionAmazing!!
@alexandre_martins_ This guy is not a mathematician................
He is a mathemagician..... 😲😳
@exposingshirknadeemzakir6570Boss 🤘🤘🤘
@leobattle5055😮
@EdgesmusicI was not amazed at this TED talk, I feel dissapointed with my use of these 6 minutes. Good day
@sharolesmith1532WE ARE IN A SIMULATION, period. Take a hammer and smash a million chestnuts, you will never get “FIBONACCI NUMBERS”.
