The Nevalinna Prize (now renamed the Abacus Medal) is awarded by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) every 4 years for outstanding contributions in Mathematical Aspects of Information Sciences. Daniel received his prize in 2010 "for smoothed analysis of Linear Programming, algorithms for graph-based codes and applications of graph theory to Numerical Computing."

If more knowledge doesn't make you more humble then it's unworth knowing in the first place. Kudos for both of you, lovely humans!
I am excited . i am from Nepal , and i am in class 12 . I wanna go so deep inside mathematics and computer science
You will,but just don't let your opportunity go away
@@denishclarke4470 💙
leave the country brother, you'll get way better opportunities in the west
(Mathematics and computer science are two elementary school children btw)
There are so many good resources online like 3b1b, khans academy, MIT open courseware, etc. which you could use. That's how i study
Amazing as always. Thank you for your hard work.
Hey tom just wanna say I really enjoy this series been binge listening to these on a sunday while I clean ❤
Amazing Stuff
Very quotable man.

29:00 since we can store information on SSDs or HDDs, storing it in our brain became a bit less important, so I can understand why probably the majority of people have a less trained memory-skill nowadays. Also there is so much information out there nowadays, it's hard to keep it all stored in our heads
I’ve thought of a better/more accurate answer to the question asked in the live chat. I believe my strength is determination ❤️
often times it's better to try to fail than failing to try
What's the relationship between Discrepancy Theory and Information Theory? Kolmogorov Complexity calculations seem particularly applicable.
My son often asks me my favourite number, and he's learned to specify it has to be an integer, or else I'll go for one of e, i, Phi, and Pi. 😂
could be like I using AI developed black-box analysis and just hmm went to test (sent to) it was good (python) but idea was why i focused on eliminating false negatives, idea came why not false positives my only idea answer now is because maybe it is test based on binary cases true/false. They said it is not clear but my system should be usable on all systems pc/mac/ios/android.idea is from beginning a self generating self explaining self ----- structure that gives a shadow but is it real in the world? I love people challenging why and how!
because I need the job
math
Using computers to find counter-examples should have been an obvious first step in considering any proof.
Lots of stuff in modern math are not computable.
now Iam sleeping forever I like help me please
why .. never because every one like my body for me man...my color is pink
why speak every one is my body man is hard
