"Mathematics with Paper Clips, Ribbon, Rubber Bands", MathByte featuring Tadashi Tokieda

MathByte featuring ICERM's "Toy Models" public lecturer Tadashi Tokieda of Cambridge University.
One of Tadashi Tokieda's lines of activity is inventing, collecting, and studying toys - objects from daily life that can be found or made in minutes, yet which, if played with imaginatively, reveal behaviors so surprising that they intrigue scientists for weeks. In this video you see Tokieda demonstrating a magic routine which is easy to perform yourself and which is a pleasant example of such "toys". (November, 2013)

    been playing with string knots since vertasium , theres a beauty that is overlooked. 4mm nylon chord holds a 3D shape over a few cm, enough to experience the diversity of the first knots Is there a secret knot club for high prime knots.

    Dear Dr Tadashi Tokieda There is this (facebook) japanese puzzle. I could understand the solution (even though i do not speak a word of japanese language at all)....... but surely there is a mathematical explanation on the topology.... please help to give an explanation on the mathematics. facebook.com/rafichowdhury.entrepreneur/videos/303197857192894/

    Hi, Mr Tadashi Tokieda I enjoyed your youtube very much, as you can always bring out some interesting observation about daily events. I am very intrigue by spirograph, and quora lead me to this mathematical youtube kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZp-3NSmg5y7lrw.html i wonder could you do something on spirograph Thank you very much.

    NOT a 'LINEAR superposition' ! This isn't a vector space ! You can't express the states as sums with arbitrary coefficients from a field !

    "this what happens when you dont have enough funding in mathematics. you run out of paper clips." that made me laugh. do you only need paper and paper clips? hhhhhhh

    Absolutly amazing. I knew the "situation zero" mathemagic trick, but these extentions are really nice. Congratulations.

    I really wonder if it is possible to create borromean rings using multiplication and subtraction :o

    I highly doubt that. you can produce two unlinked paperclips withone going through the other but to have the third on connect with them in thevway you want you need the third paperclip to cross the surrounding one, twice once to connect and once two unlink. And it seems here that you only have on stage of crossing by such ways. May be I am overseeing something. Maybe you could do it.

    i made it so that both clips are inside the rubber band linked together in the middle with the paper band.
