What goes on inside the mind of a mathematician? Where does inspiration come from? Fields Medal winner Cédric Villani combines passion and imagination to take us on a fantastical adventure through the beautiful, mysterious world of mathematics.
Cédric Villani is a French Mathematician who was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal in 2010 – an award often viewed as the highest honour a mathematician can receive.
He is also a member of the Science and Technology Advisory Council and stands out for his sense of fashion.

His talk on Nash at Ri is also great.
niveau 4° en Anglais…tis a bouffon, with ridiculous voice of tapette !
little friend of macron……………..;
One cool dude who knows what he's talking about.
Who ordered the fish course?
Cedric Villani will inspire to be one of the great masters of mathematics of his time, no doubt. Easy to understand the organization of the thought process to contemplate the physical reasoning of simplicity. Of course most of science today and into the future picks up where others have theorized with added knowledge of interests and better tools of invention applied toward future possibilities. Yet all too often within collaboration recognizing either a problem of shared concerns or argument of point of observation that of abstract or concrete, Euclidean or non-Euclidean ; Newtonian or damping of acoustic plasma, whatever! There is always some knot that has to be untied and the rope used again to tie another knot. So let's try to recognize another problem within encryption and its freedom of privacy or number sequences to protect against hacking in P and NP computer logic and revamp without destructive interference of changing all the 0's to 1's. And simply consider the possibility that WITH IN NATURE the solution can be found. Either in fractals or particle physics that protons are being looked at as 1 quark "up" and two quarks "down", while a cast color of green NP 2 quarks up and hadron down. Intertwined ideas once over again encrypted around the electron; to preserve inherent freedom in respect to liberty. Those calculated random chaotic uncertainties can be used in an advantageous way and perhaps they are already modified. Being out of those loops of think tanks within science, how would I know, yet just thinking of what news we hear about cyber economical warfare, mathematicians and physicist at large must settle credit card fraud or electronic banking robberies before fear brings a world to unrest. Damping is still some form of 12 sheets of Pb throwing nickels at a steam roller, yet have we really found the infinite symbol applied in relationship to diatomic hydrogen?
Listening all the time to prof. Villani that spider knows more than an average people!!

Good summary. I'm turning sixty and I want to review my old math books now.
two economic questions: 1 is it right or wrong to plate Platin tips onto automobile's spark-plugs? 2 : knowing the contents of this: arXiv:1801.02658v2 astro-ph.EP 13.Jan.2018 1I/2017 ’OUMUAMUA-LIKE INTERSTELLAR ASTEROIDS AS POSSIBLE MESSENGERS FROM THE DEAD STARS (white-dwarf stars)
Roman R. Rafikov —
-?= is it favourable and still possible to send space-probe(s) to this exeptional and seldom(st) "refractory" comet, just to regain its location and keep track of it, so that in the future, some centuries later it can be captured and will be brought back to the solar system? This very unique WD-TDE-comet is refractory metallic, (iron and others), maybe Platin-Group-metals.
i am convinced, that this 'Oumuamua in 2017 was a very rare astronomical find!
in a couple of centuries, the planet-Earth's superpowers (if they don't go into military-economic fight) would have potent fusion-powered submarines and space-stations.
He always dresses like this …he is one of the greatest living Mathematicians and a lovely man
HIS FCKING SPIDER HAS 10 LEGS
Le plaisir que vous ressentez, en entendant son accent, prouve qu'il est important de combattre l’hégémonie culturelle mono-linguiste que certain tentent d'imposer. Pour avoir une planète seine et agréable, plusieurs cultures individuelles doivent pouvoir dominer en différents endroits. C'est justement pour ça que se crée les entités nationales.
Erdos was odd.
Watch that posture. It is going to set in as you get older.
Sorry Villani , You Might be a Good Mathematician, but certainly not a Good Talker…
Such a cool guy, though he looks like he just stepped out of the late-19th century.
The spider is just the fancy touch.
I respect the man for his knowledge but he has a funny voice
My english isn't very good, I would like to this video was translated :c
Tiny Tim's French cousin.
This guy is straight out of a Tim Burton cartoon.
I am definitely right away start improving my piano playing skills. Thanks Cedric for motivation.

Villani is GOD!
What a character
I'm glad people like Cedric still exist.
