TATETitre : | The importance of mathematics : a lecture by Timothy Gowers | Type de document : | document projeté ou vidéo | Auteurs : | Timothy GOWERS, Auteur ; Konrad POLTHIER, Editeur scientifique | Editeur : | Berlin : Springer-Verlag | Année de publication : | 2002 | Collection : | Springer VideoMATH, ISSN 1613-1053 | Présentation : | 1 cassette vidéo (VHS) (60 min) : coul. (PAL), sonore | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-3-540-92651-1 | Note générale : | Clay mathematics Institute, Millennium meeting, Collège de France, Paris, may 24-25, 2000 | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Résumé : | The Importance of Mathematics is a lucid, dynamic presentation of the deep and important question of the relevance of mathematics to society, delivered by one of the best mathematicians of the modern age. Timothy Gowers is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambirdge (UK) and a recipient of the prestigious Fields Medal.
This lecture is a treasure trove of mathematical intuition and insight into the relationship between mathematics and its applications. Using historical and present-day examples, the speaker makes a convincing argument that mathematics plays a crucial role in the advancement of science.
Gowers gave the Keynote Address at the historic Millennium Meeting of the Clay Mathematics Institute — the very same meeting at which the Millennium Prize Problems were announced. Gowers spoke about the relevance of mathematics to diverse applications citing examples in computer science, finance, and engineering. His theme underscores the unity of different apparently diverse sub-fields of mathematics. His exposition is exceptionally clear and easy to follow, making mathematics accessible to non-experts. | En ligne : | http://claymath.msri.org/gowers2000.mov |
