***** no, if the guy romanized his name as "chern," then everybody speaking English will have pronounced it with the 'r,' it's not a matter of not knowing how to pronounce it. you get the same thing with Japanese: people often romanize things that should be (for example) "chi" as "ti," or "tsu" as "tu," because that's the fastest way to type it on a Japanese computer. it doesn't remotely give English speakers the right idea, and so they scratch their heads about why people pronounce it weird, but often just accept it. the fact that it doesn't match Japanese is sort of beside the point by then-that becomes how people pronounce it, and (in the case of names) may be how they introduce themselves when speaking English.

He couldn’t be more spot on about the quality of math education

Oh wow. Starting at 15:00, Mr. Simons says exactly how I feel about wanting to become a math teacher. I was a student that never really had a strong grasp on mathematical concepts, in fact I failed two of my math classes my freshman year of college. Now however I am getting A's on my tests and am absolutely in love with math. I want to get my master's after I complete my undergrad and hopefully work towards a PhD if life goes that way. I want people to never have to struggle like I did. I had some bad teachers that made me hate math, and I don't think it's fair that students get the bottom of the barrel when it comes to math and science teachers in high school. We need to push math and science more and more in the future, and the only way to get the future generations interested is by having teachers that truly have a passion for students to learn. If that means that my pay check is not as big as my colleagues, then so be it. If and when I see my future students become billionaires like Mr. Simons, I will smile to myself and be proud.

SenorDevin My dream is to build an online infrastructure for youth so that math and science becomes a really enjoyable way of spending some of your time on the internet. A kind of modern forum/social network with great videos, software, and simulations that make total use of current technology and that also presents knowledge from upper year undergraduate courses that's really hard to find outside of expensive textbooks. The dream is that most students will have an understanding of math and science that is always ahead of their current school year, so they never have to see anything for the first time in school. They just show up, learn about what they're going to be expected to know for the exams during ordinary class, and then take the test to prove their competence in a way that society has always seen as legitimate. The school experience won't define their personal relationship with the subjects. The enthusiasm people have for these things in the public space is far better suited for packaging information for consumption than an underpaid teacher. Hopefully one day I'll be effective at channeling some of that enthusiasm.

That was a very good assessment from the interviewee. He said "that's an interesting question" on several occasions, and at the end said, "well this was kind of fun". So well done, you did a great job from his point of view, which is very important!

My teachers "knew enough to teach...at high school" back then but if you teleported them to today they wouldn't get a job at Google, IBM or Goldman Sachs. Unless, as I said, the job at the high tech company involved reading a book they didn't understand out loud. They weren't quite innumerate but the weren't a long stretch from being such. Any questions or requests for clarification of a point just resulted in them reading the text book out loud a second time.

‘One guy’s discovery leads to another guy’s invention leading to another man’s machine’, Dope line 👏🏿

As others have mentioned, this was a tremendous interview. Excellent work on the video edits. Thank you!

Awesome interview. you asked so many questions that nobody else would ask. thank you.

Loved the video. Thank your for bringing this to us Brady and thanks to Dr. Simons for doing the interview.

Great talk, I liked how open and thoughtful he was.

One of those rare people on earth, we need more!

Thank you! Been a subscriber for at least a year now, and coming from someone who is not strong in math, has no pull or "draw" to study maths in the future - I have to say this is a very interesting outlet I can spend an hour or so every now and then to absorb this part of life Ill never get to experience. So please don't stop! Great channel.

I caught that as well and got a laugh out of it. The guy is smart and also old, and must realize time is short now for him, so maybe his motivation to do this interview was just something fun to do while on his break for the day.

Really liked the quality of questions you asked him and the way you were attentive in listening to Jim (compared to what I saw just now on TED interview that guy kept cutting Jim & was more worried about his time than listening to him)

It's so reassuring to know there are people like him behind the scenes.

Excellent interview, Brady! I loved it.

I really enjoyed this interview, thank you.

He's so right about our terrible math in K-12 teaching. I graduated 2001... all through it seemed to just repeat and was way slow. And the teachers weren't that great, some didn't even understand the material themselves.

Obvious statement, but brilliant guy! The way he answers those questions is straight to the point. Very impressive.

"It's mostly statistics" - He said what I assumed, since a long time. From there, with statistical analysis, you calculate probabilities and from there you can start thinking about money.

I fell in love with statistics from my very first semester in college because you once you understand basic concepts like variance and standard deviation you can start using them immediately. Were it not for the set back to take the required courses for a major in stats I would do it. So I decided on a minor in stats to complement my major in finance. I should be done by this time next year. Also, I already use the concepts I have learned so far in stats at my work. I highly recommend stats for anyone who has an interest in doing any type of analysis in life.

Lemme make it easier for you. They use AI to make those predictions bud. This isn't a secret and neither something that nobody thought before. Everybody in this business knows that is possible and maybe 50% uses it. But not everybody who uses it makes a lot of money and this comes down to how you should structure your "model" and what anomalies you will use for it? That is the thing. And these are things that he didn't tell in this interview.

Great interview. Really enjoyed. Thanks.

This was a very nice interview! Good job guys! :)

I liked the interview a lot. Mr. Simons is a no BS guy, my kind of man!

The interviewer did a really great job here, thanks!

I love the fact that MIT sent him to Berkeley. Great interview.

I live a few houses down from this guy and one of my friends works for him. He's a very nice guy and he helped establish a park and does a lot to help local businesses. Thanks for the great video Numberphile!

Great questions! Great answers. Awesome interview! Great job Numberphile!

I feel. so sad, as i was about discovering about Mr James Simons, and his incredible work, he passes on, May 10th, I'm never going to forget today Rip Mr Simons 😔

Just about every month at the Simons Foundation headquarters in NYC there is a free lecture by a scientist or mathematician at the top of their field speaking in depth about cutting edge research. The lecture is preceded by tea. I have met Jim Simons there and he is one of the most down to earth and humble people I have ever come across.

Always love your videos Brady.

This man proved that maths or science is not for just passing exams ,it has many real life applications too .it depends upon us how we use it ,only for passing exams or for real life too.

Fantastic interview: "7, next question". That's going to keep me up at night.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this interview! We don't all go on to do great things with our love for mathematics, but know that there are some of us regular folk out here, that do share your passion.

@@lightshine2786 I can only partially agree. There are too many ordinary people, but I don't know that that has much to do with class. At some point in our lives, we're each given a chance or two to think more critically &mentally advance ourselves, providing us with more opportunities. Most folks choose not to seize those opportunities for growth, regardless of their socioeconomic background. The problem is ordinary thinkers.

Great interview takes two. It's a great interview. Thanks :-)

Honestly Brady, you are a really good interviewer! You asked some interesting questions that clearly got him thinking.

Yes, that was kinda fun to watch - thanks so much.

Man. We need more of him.

great interview questions! 10 out of 10 for the interviewer!

I'm not interested in deep mathematics enough to subscribe to Numberphile, but that was a really interesting video. I even gonna watch the full interview later. (thanks for uploading a full version!)
