The toys!

I could listen to Tadashi speak for hours. What a brilliant and inspiring person.

26:30 (after talking about swearing, and originally learning the concept in France): "If you drop something very heavy on my foot, what comes out is French." I love this so much, and this is a very elegant way to say this.

And I wondered at that point in the video, after a hearty laughter of course, does he say "Parden my french" afterwards? 😄

Tadashi is spot on with what I'll call "the second exposure effect." I always felt like my math skills were a class behind where I was at. I didn't get trigonometry until I took physics and calculus, and I didn't get single variable calculus until I took multivariable calculus and so on... I think oftentimes students will see someone immediately excel at something they are struggling with and think there must be some deep biological reason for this when, in reality, those other students just had some prior exposure to the subject.

I sort of wrote learned my way through thermo, I didnt really understand a lot of it conceptually, I could just do the problems mathematically. Then when I took a hvac course I understood it all well enough to explain it someone else, I have no idea why.

This is a better origin-story than anything Marvel ever managed to produce. Thank you Brady and Tadashi!

@ I thought you are a decent man with a sense of humor but you just admitted that you are nothing but a Jackeen.

I have been anticipating this almost as much as the Cliff Stoll interview. 👍

What an honestly fresh and fascinating view of life and ambition. Really enjoyed this podcast, was planning to fall alseep to Tadashi's soothing voice and watch it again later but I ended up listening to it all in bed. As someone who only really saw math and science as a chore in school your channel has really given me a new love for them so thank you Brady for doing Numberphile(and Sixty Symbols!)all these years.

a brilliant interview view a fascinating and honestly quite inspiring person. well done Brady, and thank you Professor Tadashi.

Thank you Tadashi for sharing your experiences. Thank you Brady for conducting great interviews.

So much did I enjoy this company that 73 minutes felt like only 5.

WOW! Every time I think he couldn't get more interesting, Tadashi finds a way to blow my mind! What a fascinating dude; I just love the parallels and tangents and unusual connections he sees! I'm so glad he's grown past his shyness, I (and many others, I'm sure) just love listening to him talk :)

Brady and Tadashi soaking in the pool with a glass of wine... Can't say I'm not jealous

Although I enjoyed this podcast of a really deep dive into the life of Tadashi, I consider it more of a tribute to the genius interviewing skills of Brady. He is the hero here. Many times during this, Tadashi had said things like ''I shouldn't say this on interview'', or ''I've never said this before in an interview'', and so forth. That right there is the skill of Brady Haran. Anybody reading this feel up to the challenge of interviewing Brady?

"As a mathematician I want to be remembered as someone who worked with Brady Heran on Numberphile" - Prof. Tadashi Tokieda

Wow! Just wow! What an amazing individual. Thanks for sharing this and all of your many wonderful videos.

What a thoughtful and highly intelligent conversation! Many many points in this podcast has shine a new light or shall I say granted me a new perspective to some of my own problems. Bravo!

My favourite episode yet! Got me watching his topology lectures on YT!

Absolutely brilliant stuff. It's been a while since I've been so engaged by a speaker. I'm actually not surprised to learn that he's a language expert, as his command of the English language and just general manner of speaking is phenomenal.

This is probably my favorite epsiode!

I guess he never stopped being a philologist too, given the mathematics is the language of the nature, that we slowly unveil.

Great episode! Loved it.

excited for this one. I'll have to save it for a little later though.

Great interview! The story about how Prof. Tadashi turned to hard science because of his encounter with Landau's biography is so funny ~~

Love this man

Humble genius. And he is very good at teaching what he knows!

Thank you very much for this interview, very inspiring! Je ne savais pas que Tadashi était un polyglotte avant qu'il a devenu un mathématicien ! (sorry, couldn't help but write a multilingual comment!🙂)

- "being an extrovert or an introvert depends a lot on your environment." That is a revolutionary idea. - "choosing natural things", that are easy for me today. No toxic perfectionism, like I can give up now if I know it's not on my level, and try later.

This man is brilliant

Finally interview with Tadashi - the person, who put "ta-da!" in matahs for me!

Wonderfully inspiring, also to a humanities scholar. 🙏

Around 1:00:00 he talks about understanding someones work so much easier when meeting the person in real life. it would invoke a question to about him re-engineering the personalities of people like Plato or Aristotle.

Very interesting, thanks

Incredible!

This origin story is absolutely wild.

Never heard a Japanese person say cognate English and French words side by side before. That was neat to hear the sharp contrast between the two accents from someone whose native accent doesn't come from either language.

I can totally relate to what he said about seeing things for the second time and then understanding it. It happens to me all the time.

Love him

He really said hold my beer 😅

This is an astounding interview, or should I say, story.

He sounds like a jazz musician!

What a lovely interview! By the way, I wish I could be paid by Stanford for unspecified "hanging out with friends", ha!

what a remarkable human being

Now I understand why he always has a slight French accent when speaking English. That always confused me. 😅 Great Interview! 👍

What a wonderful man

Need to have Tadashi back with more mathematical magic tricks!

I just came back from Bordeaux last week. I too had an adventure in France 25 years ago. My company sent me from Mountain View (near Stanford) to Paris for 18 months work. 6 years of German study wasn’t the best preparation, so I dove in land learned French. To this day I can now speak French better than German. And I long to be able to return to live in France and I fell in love with Bordeaux. It’s Paris but more laid back. I too seem to have a similar affliction of “Wanderlust” - I’ve picked up and moved far away several times in my life as my curiosity of life often gets the best of me.

Finally!!! Btw we need more Tadashis Toys videos

We haven’t seen tadashi for a long time... any upcoming videos?

yess tadashi!!!

You never did circle back to talking about toys! You'll have to bring him back!

Fazer actually used to make pianos and chocolate, not motorcycles. Now they only make chocolate as piano business was sold in 1988. But strangely enough there is also a motorcycle called Yamaha Fazer.

This fella is super! ^^

In fact, adding two fractions by summing numerator and denominator separately will never work. If you have a/b + c/d, with a>0, c>0, and b>=d>0, then a/b+c/d > a/b+c/b = (a+c)/b > (a+c)/(b+d). Okay, you could argue about what happens if b=d=0. And, of course, that proof only works if you already accept the correct rule, but if you know there are no special cases where it does work, you can ask them if they can find any cases where their rule does work. Though you do still need to establish an agreed meaning of what fractions are in order to go on to do anything more with them - without some shared intuition to fall back to, you're just invoking formulas at each other rather than communicating.

I like it so much when he has this lukewarm attitude towards Noam Chomski. I had the same reservations. On the other hand I really admire Chomski very much.

Fazer is indeed a Finnish company that makes chocolates. But they never made motorcycles (except chocolate motorcycles). The Fazer motorcycle was made by Yamaha.

Having to work hard is no indication of how special that person is. You can be special and you would still need to work hard to attain the things that you want to achieve in life. Some people are as special as they think. For some hard work is as scary as it seems and they might just need to settle for lesser ambitions.
