Yeah...I like that this is the message he chose to send with his 15 minutes. It's so important and so true (I'm also a mathematician). The math culture sometimes pretends this isn't the case, and it scares newcomers off.

Yea until your mistake cost you your job! Statement for geniuses in comfortable environments !

Today I had a really rough Mathematical Physics exam. I didn't do well and studying 30 hours in 2 days took a toll on me. Coming home and finding this video on my KZread recommendation was a welcome release. You are a beautiful man, professor, and someday I want to work in your institution, if only I can scrape through my undergrad Physics degree.

My best wishes 😊

had the honour of watching him talk at Georgia Tech recently. brilliant guy! the way he explains things is extremely beautiful

Brilliant. His enthusiasm for his work makes me happy, and is something of an inspiration.

Truly phenomenal. Thank you. It spoke to me in volumes that the best philosophers have not been able to. I dearly appreciate it

A brilliant person discovering the importance of life balance at a young age. He and his family are very lucky because of this. Congratulations to him on being awarded this medal.

Such a beautiful narration...congratulations on your field's medal !!

Beautiful series about the fields medal winners. I loved it.

these documentaries are so beautifully crafted. Kudos !!!

It must be really wonderful to make a living, a life’s purpose out of what you are passionate about! And, congratulations to Hugo!

Amazing idea to place blackboards in the gardens of IHES. Love his philosophy of life and being a mathematician. Must be an awesome Prof to have as a supervisor. Well deserved Fields recipient. Such an informative vid.

Extraordinary achievement! Congratulations to Professor Duminil-Copin. I just wish I understood just a tenth of all those symbols and formulas on the blackboard to appreciate the beauty in mathematics that he's talking about.

Inspiring.!! Thanks for spreading your invaluable message that makes me feel gratitude to the life and beautiful world.

There are a lot of things I like about this video - the peace that Hugo seems to have with not knowing everything, even though he's driven to discover more, as well as his ability to recognise that family is important, to see the positives in re-allocating time for family ("I have less time for maths, but I'm better at it"). Sometimes change isn't easy and people struggle re-allocating time from work (especially work recognised as very important and interesting) to other important aspects, & especially when they've got used to dedicating their life to work during the time they've been single. Hugo is a true role model 😌Congrats on the medal, Hugo!

What a beautiful and inspiring video. Thank you for creating and uploading it.

Very true. Making mistakes is never to be ashamed of, especially in sciences, because mistakes show us the fault in our analogy and once we realise it, it corrects our logic which latter helps us to solve other problems with right analogy.

This guy is not only an inspiration of how to always be dedicated to your career, but it is also an example of how to always be caring for your loved ones and make time for them.

Very nice video, thanks a bunch! Et félicitations à M. Duminil-Copin !

He’s voice is so calming. Congratulations Hugo

Amazing video. This is very inspiring for all the young people!

Congratulations! Good to hear from a top mathematician his views on mathematics and life.

Parabéns pelo trabalho, desejo que a educação seja prioridade principalmente no nosso país Brasil.

A salute to all the people out there trying to figure things like this out

As someone who did a PhD in statistical physics and atomistic simulation, and who also recently visited Geneva, this is a beautiful video 😊 Congratulations to him and his family!

Such a beautiful profile -- thank you for these insights!!

Incredible video, thanks so much for it. It is so inspiring. Congrats again !

May the sun continue to shine on that man and his work.

What an inspiring bright young scholar! I wish I could reset my life as a student of mathematics in his department.

Beautiful production

Very Inspiring ! Thank you for sharing !

He won the life jackpot.

truly a man who has earned it all.

What an amazing gentle-man!

That's really cool, I'm doing my mechanical engineering and i think it is similar to finite element analysis which I am learning now.

Congratulations Hugo ! Félicitations Hugo !

Great video!! Thanks a lot for sharing 😊

Hats off to you sir. It's the saddest thing that there is no comment under this video and millions under some clown primate's video. Hope real brilliant people like you who advance human civilization get some recognition, at least in your surroundings.

Very nice!

Congrats!!!!

Awesome!

Mistakes are important because they make you ask "Where is the mistake?", "Why is it a mistake?" and "Why did it look right?"

I love this man!!!! 😎💭

Félicitations ! 😁

वाह क्या बंदा है! Great what a man !

Great human being

Have you applied this percolation approach of magnetism to the Sun or Earth or Jupiter magnetic field?

these mathematicians have such wholesome lives

so inspiring :)

I'm a physicist and always used mathematics as a tool to prove or use in a theory. But this was different, I think I have found back my long lost intererst in maths.

cool, great vid

chapeau

Want to live a life like that.

Bro is the reincarnation of Einstein

Un vrai boss

I like how around 0:54 they probably asked him to write matematicas as quick as possible for the video and did triple integrals of exp -x jajaja nice

this is so awesome that yt recommends this to me. i literally just did a project in uni where we wrote some code to apply the ising model to quasi crystal lattices

its a crime how little attention this gets.

phase transitions for the win

Great

Legend

Love u man ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

Plz five reference of book of this person also

Blackboard outside around trees is a great idea

Absolutely based

I think it would be great if mathematicians talk longer about the application of their works like he did in this video from 2:00 to 5:00. Another question about percolation theory in neuroscience. Perhaps such theory could take over the "grandmother neuron" paradigm which has failed in neuroscience. Considering each neuron like dipole and percolate a group of such neuron to see if it can reproduce a typical brain's behaviour like a thought, or the image of an object.

Why does math have to have applications? Math at this level almost never does. Scientists use properties that seem to be there in practice even if it isn't yet proved they already exist, and that's fine. Math is a much, much bigger subject than the part of it that enables engineering in science. The mathematicians that win fields medals are typically doing things that are extremely abstract. They make up little anecdotes about "application" because laypeople constantly ask about that, but they are "pure" mathematicians: people who do math for its own sake. Maybe it will be the foundation of some application 100 years from now, or maybe not. Nobody had applications in mind over the hundreds of years that higher dimensional geometry was developed...and then one day it just happened to be the perfect setting for general relativity. We could never know that in advance, and if we hadn't explored this geometry for its own sake, it wouldn't have been there for Einstein. Philosophy is another academic study that we find as a society despite it not being directed at applications. The quest for knowledge justifies itself: it's an inherent human longing. Re: percolation, it doesn't make sense to reason about it until you look up the mathematical definition of percolation. Else you are just imagining something based on the English meaning of the term that probably has little to do with the mathematical meaning.

Drinking a beer while working, I will copy that.
