My immediate impression of Dr Clio Cresswell is that she - unlike so many people who deliver otherwise wonderful TED talks - is in possession of comic timing. The jokes aren't great, but the timing is on and that is so much better than the thousands of other TED talks when the timing is off, even if the jokes are on. Others might say this about many people who deliver these talks, but she is the first person who I look at and think "Whatever you had chosen to do, you would've been brilliant at it."

Some intriguing elements in this talk. I got a connection between language and math that I hadn’t thought of before. It reminded me of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series.

I thought I won't finish the video because its like 14 minutes, but this lady got me hooked to the end, not exactly life saving content but the mode of presentation and the humour is pretty interesting

I was in awe with the way you make things connect with mathematics. If thats the case, then we can actually figure out the pattern to each thing we do and deal the next problem with a similar equation, just the variables changes.

Great presentation. It gives you a flavour of how math can explain the world we live in. I don't think it would help for her to give us the meaning of each symbol as it would need deeper explaination. It is supposed to stimulate to the point that we look them up ourselves which is a better way to learn about such an intricate subject. Love the SHOES!

Maths and the City. Thanks Clio for your Allan Pease inspired 1970's talk that no man could have gotten away with. Many (mainly women) would have claimed men simply were not capable of doing the maths while their mind was so thoroughly engaged in other pursuits.

This was a very light hearted and fun talk where I learned a lot. I loved it! Unlike most new talks that are a bunch of “woe is me, be better as a person” speeches. I don’t hate them, some are good, but they ate such cookie cutter stories, it is getting dry. Also she is JACKED!

Really interesting altho broader than expected. The msg: don't marry someone that you feel you have to compromise alot with. It's healthy to compromise but If one or both feel they don't get to do most of what they want to do it isn't likely to work out.... Great delivery!

Clio, you're the best reason I've seen to go down under. If there were such a thing as Australia's ambassador to mathematics, you'd have my vote. We've come so far since John Nash's beautiful mind delivered win-win-win technology. ...but wait, what about those 2 original equations...the ones promising 95% predictive value for compatibility? How could you leave us hanging so? What are the variables? Explain please? On a personal note, please share with the class. How has that equation worked for you? Have you applied it? How's that outcome?

I knew a few classmates that could have used this to know math could be interesting and fun. I was lucky having a fellow female student who did not understand having ask so many questions all I did was listen. Math was my major in high school and into computer business in college.

As a student of philosophy, I was skeptic regarding such issues which is very complicated but She used metaphoric language so I could understand something about excitement and relationship how brain works. Afterall Im proud of Her bravery.

This has an easy answer. (I have a degree in physics and did teaching too, this is a pattern I observed) Math and physics are difficult (she touches on why in her talk) => only 'clever' people can understand it - bcs they have more (than you) abstract, logical or mathematical thinking => they lack the EQ, social, creative thinking + they don't see why you don't understand it => they don't have the ability to explain well or they don't explain math and physics very well Simple as that; the more clever the professor, the harder is to understand him. I see it on myself too. The other point is the best (possible) teachers don't stay in education, bcs going into research or private sector brings them more money or value... Do you think she is a teacher? Of course not, she is working on her research and once in a year makes a science-pop presentation.

I'm french, and i can asure you that french math are so much more complexe than those you learn at American high school or so on. I also studied amercican mathematics 'cause of an english option i did, and it was so much easier to resolve. So i think that, depending from the country you'r from, math will be easy or not because of the way of thinking and the culture of that country.
