Four Dimensional Maths: Things to See and Hear in the Fourth Dimension - with Matt Parker


Мэтт Паркер, комик и математик, в этой лекции показывает, как четырехмерные фигуры появляются в 3D мире, и показывает, возможно, самую ботанскую в мире вязаную шапку!

Узнайте, как сделать сердечки из петли Мёбиуса, 4d рамки из питьевых соломинок и очистителей труб, и другие математические трюки в этом интересном разговоре Мэтта Паркера. Мэтт объясняет, как узнать, что кто-то бросает в вас 4d кубы, а также то, что происходит, когда ваша мама вяжет трехмерную тень четырехмерного пончика, чтобы носить её на голове, в этой веселой беседе о проблемах визуализации четвертого измерения.

Мэтт Паркер был австралийским школьным учителем, прежде чем он переехал в Лондон, где он работает как комик и математический коммуникатор. Он пишет книги, появляется на радио и в телевизионных шоу, способствует газетам, посещает школы и дает комедийные шоу.

Это событие произошло в Королевском институте во вторник 27 января.

My four-part series on Numberphile videos about Fibonacci Numbers (from 2014) starts here.

Here is me going on about the square root of five (Numberphile 2018).

The zero I found was at -9.14202391817 2.80064954276i and you can see the exact form here: www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(10*pi)/(pi + i*(log(sqrt(5) — 1) — log(1 + sqrt(5))))

Try it for yourself and put the Binet Formula (((1 sqrt(5))/2)^n — ((1-sqrt(5))/2)^n)/sqrt(5) in the Wolfram roots calculator: www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=b858339e64fa997454dd12f77cb1ece1

CORRECTIONS
This was a long video and in hindsight there are a few things I wish I had phrased better. Here they all are:
— I misspoke around 01:13 when I said «negative one, zero» as it is clearly «negative one, one, zero».
— At 07:53 I mean the negative values -5 to 0. I said it a weird way.
— My language at about the 1D input to 2D plot from 09:17 is a bit sloppy. The real values going into the Binet function are not the horizontal axis shown; the plot onscreen is solely the output.
— I say «axis» when I mean «plane» or even «complex plane». The big flat thing.
Let me know if you spot anything else!

Why is TV 29.97 frames per second?


I look at the historical quirks which gave us TV at 29.97 frames per second. In North America at least. Its a comfortable 25 fps in Europe.

More on that thing I mentioned at the end of the video here:
www.patreon.com/standupmaths

Here is the spherical video I was making with Henry Segerman which made me research NTSC frame rates in the first place:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp12c3-IL-I

Yes, technically, if you divide 4,500,000 by 286 you get a horizontal frequency of 15,734.26573 lines per second. That matches a frame rate of 29.97002997002997… and so old TVs used 30/1.001 = 29.97002997002997…

CORRECTIONS:
— A lot of people pointing out that increasing the number of horizontal lines without increasing the bandwidth would be a loss of resolution. Which is a good point.

Calculating π by hand


For Pi Day 2016 I tried to calculate π by hand, using an infinite series. It goes ok.

Before you even start:
— Yes, I know π Day requites writing the date MM/DD. By objective measures: the wrong way. I dont care. My love of π is stronger.
— My opinion of Tau is a matter of public record: youtu.be/ZPv1UV0rD8U

CORRECTIONS:
— At 17:23 it should be π/4 not 1/π. That was contamination from the next graphic. (First spotted by Najeeb Sheikh and Jake Trookman.)

Paraboloids and The Building which Set Things on Fire


The building in London at 20 Fenchurch Street started to set things on fire! But it could have been worse. I use a paraboloid to set other things on fire.

Oh, and theres a maths proof.

Why is the Apple Calendar so broken?


UPDATE: I’m hearing reports of calendar apps crashing quite severely. Please only experiment on non-vital apps as you could hypothetically lose data stored in them! But apparently if the app crashes and restarts don’t fix it: a forced restart will.

Proceed with caution, at your own risk, and report any findings!

The 10,000 Domino Computer


Matt Parker and a team of Domino Computer Builders balanced over 10,000 dominoes in a carefully designed circuit. The result was a Domino Computer capable of automatically adding numbers. It can take any two four-digit binary numbers and return the five-digit binary sum.

Its a computer, made of dominoes.
