Blazing a literal trail while talking about a trailblazer is genius
not really, since "trailblazing" is mapping uncharted lands. I mean I know, but still
I don't know if it's by design by her but some of her videos are replete with double entendres.
@@yousarrname3051 Could be laying out a trail as well but nothing else in english could have worked for the pun
not to be blunt here, but how was she blazing?
As a CS student who likes exploring outdoor, I love the concept of this video
Same and I thought I was the only one who likes the outside as well
BREAKING: CS major reveals they WILLINGLY go OUTSIDE
Impossible.
If i ever get a terminal disease, please let it be Tibees to break the news to me. I don't think I'd get upset with that sweet voice
tibees manages to describe existential crises in a very sweet and calm voice.
Honestly, there is such a thing as having too soft a voice. I find I have to crank the volume excessively high just to make out what she is saying.
@@sevenpenceLOLZ It comes in through my ears as a calm, sultry voice.. then my inner monologue translates the existential nightmare into panicked screaming
Amazing view over that valley, NZ's landscapes are freaking magical.
Of course it's magical with all the dwarves, elves and hobbits. 😃
And deadly hoho
Integration while trekking- that is quite me! Also, Marie Curie and Ada Lovelace are my inspiration.
Perhaps each generation of scholars, at any level, is blessed by having better tools for learning but as with all improvement things never get easier because that which must be achieved (learned) also increases. I stagger to think how difficult learning via letter must be and maybe in a hundred years scholars will stagger to think how difficult it was to learn in the 20th and 21st centuries. Wonderful NZ ! My favourite landscape in the world of countries I have visited. Like a more accessible Switzerland with more variety.
There are so many captivating things happening in this video. An amazing intellectual, great revelation of historic figures, amazing scenery, hiking, mathematical equations, excellent information, and a most soothing vocal cadence. Thanks for your content, T!❤
What a wonderful "article" about Ada Lovelace. She was definitely a woman ahead of her time. And also, how wonderful that all these learned and historically significant male mathematicians took her and her work seriously. Thanks for a great trip down history's lane.
As a software developer since the late 80's, Lovelace has always been close to my heart. To perceive a problem, and find a solution to it, and then develop upon it, it's an approach that speaks to me. No, I don't make websites, I'm more involved in low-level stuff on the processor level, and translating runtime things to bridge programming languages. The mathematics with its roots in Turing (and Ada, at least in terms of implementation) is something that makes my blood flow. Anyway, I named one of my cats after Ada Lovelace, Ada. My other cat is named Curie after Marie Curie, but that's only because Cecilia (Payne Gaposchkin) didn't really translate well in cat-ish, sounding very hissy and hostile. There's so many great women historically, and I find them utterly uncelebrated.
My computers are named Ada, Margaret, and Hypatia.
Fun Fact: Marie Curie was the first person ever to win TWO Nobel Prizes - one for physics in 1903, the other for chemistry in 1911 for her work on radioactivity.
I also have a cat named Marie Curie
Why? As a software developer? She never had any part in software, just translation work and did propose using loom design cards as a means of entering data - that's it. Everything else is made up in the name of female empowerment, like so many things since the 90s.
Grace or Hopper might be another good option for a cat name. :)
Ada mentioned the idea that computers might be used to make music - it would be quite something for someone over 100 hundred years ago such as her to time travel to now and observe (and hear!) audio synthesis, recordings, and generative AI to make music!
Ada's Bernoulli Numbers program was the first published piece of software. Babbage had obviously already written a few programs (though not as complex) while designing the Analytical Engine and we can now see his notebooks, but it is fair to say Ada started the Open Source movement.
You're kidding, right?
THANKS FOR YOU BEAUTIFUL VIDEO TIBEES!!🙏🙏😊👍😊
its good to walk, the spine doesnt have circulation all the way to the core so depends on the pumping action when we walk to give it circulation. Be kind to your back and walk.
Few people know that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byron's daughter. That Lord George Gordon Byron :)
Interesting they both died aged 36 years.
Great video! Walking through the mountains and going through math must be a wonderful experience
Beautiful video Tibees. A lovely voice describing math with a beautiful background. 🙂
So glad we have those letters of correspondence. A glimpse into the past of these incredible mathematicians is so rewarding to hear about. Great video
Wow! This is what you call content. I recently found your channel and I'm in love with your content and your personality. Also, explaining this while trekking is the coolest idea ever! Your voice is so soothing and the video editing is awesome!
A new genre of videos is born... Great hiking and thoughtful science! Plus that relaxing asmr-ish voice (on purpose?) And of course, pretty on the eyes (but this is last in the list, a bonus)
Beautiful mountains 🗻 , clear water and blue skies ☁. I want it.
I took a course on complex number theory in college as an undergrad. It was definitely an interesting course and has some interesting use cases in science and engineering.
Welcome Back!!! Much love and respect from the USA!!!
I really enjoy this video format! It reminds me of how I like to take an afternoon off from software development to go hiking and reflect. It's a wonderful way to recharge.
Amazing story and great trail. Thank you.
OMG That is a beautiful place. I have added it to my bucket list.
A beautiful hike, and mathematics! You are living my dream!
I work in a computer store and there is a little computer museum and its nice learning more about the first software engineer. Cool video.
She had nothing to do with software engineering.
ada’s rush to get to the good stuff is something i am going through as well as a middle schooler. so to solve this problem of mine i downloaded khan academy, and swore that i would complete all the math courses in order. (like first early maths-kindergarten-1st grade…) so by the time i DO get to the good stuff, i’d be prepared. there is something in math that i love so much about it. and i wanna explore more of it. i just *feel* that there is more to know. i hope to achieve my milestone one day.
Serendipitous for me in the extreme! I'm just starting Walter Isaacson's best seller, The Innovators. Chapter 1 is on Ada and Babbage! Thank you. I'm very excited to read this book. I just finished his Code Breaker about Jennifer Doudna and gene splicing. He must have a great editor because every sentence was worth reading.
So beautiful!! Your explanation, you, the scenery, your content. Ahh! Love to you, Tibees!!
Casually returns after two months talking about the origins of computer science from the top of a mountain
What a beautiful video. Lovely presentation! Bravo! ❤❤❤❤
yes!!! what an incredible video idea i feel so relaxed AND i've learned a lot! thank you :)
Fascinating and intriguing, as well as educational, very informative
So glad to see a new video :DD
Wow Tibees thank you, this is both informative and quite wonderful 😊
Mount Cook looks gorgeous and I'm looking forward to learning more about Ada Lovelace :)
Thank you for such a Brilliant video :) I found this to be the motivation I needed to push through finals !
Thank you so much for valuable contents
Great view of a New Zealand landscape! Each of mountains and rivers can be represented with mathematical functions.
I could watch your vids and listen to your dulcet voice all day! Oh, and Ada Lovelace is awesome also! Love your detailed explanations.
That was really interesting. Thank you 😊
Lovely to see you back home :)
Beautiful nature!
Beautiful view, and calm place to do math, Lovely!!.
thank you for the math history!
Thank you 👍❤️
Ada Lovelace was an incredible mind! Thank you for sharing her story with us. It would take me forever to finish hiking the trail you were on. I'd have to stop continuously to gaze in wonder of that incredible landscape! Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us.
This is lovely ❤
I ❤this video. Will go back to the math when I’m done with unit testing.
What a beautiful place!
Thanks that was really nice.
Sooo interesting!! Thanks!
I think that she’s one of the most interesting personalities in the history of math!
Cutest and calmest voice
Linda Lovelace was mentioned in an episode of QI with Stephen Fry, where they talked about the first computer program, written on “punchcards” for looms. Apparently the new technology was too much for French textile weavers, and fearing loss of livelihood, they threw their wooden shoes into the looms to damage/destroy them. The shoes are called sabots… and this is where the word “sabotage” originated. The more you know.
how beautiful, Tibees!
Your voice is divine
we love you toby tibees
Great video.
The math is all over my head, but I love the beautiful scenery.
excellent Tibee
Love to see her learning path. We usualy only see the end resuls. But its much more interesting to learn how someone struggled to learn and see its not always a straight path. Just like walking. 😅
It was really nice seeing you on Jet Lag recently!
Thanks
What a nice video! 😀
You're my new favourite youtuber
One of the many brilliant minds taken from the world far too young.
always interesting history
Got a CS degree from a good university and we didn't once learn of this matriach. What a shame.
I paused the video at 4:11, proved the expression in 30 seconds, thought I was a genius, unpaused the video, and realised I wasn't so smart after all. I envy Ada Lovelace so much, as I'm always yearning for the deepest secrets that maths, logic, and physics have to offer, but still can't understand elementary stuff like Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation or integration by parts.
What Majestic views. thanks for the story of Ada Lovelace. I am going to reward you with a special women and a quote from her. "Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond" (Hypatia of Alexandria. Mathematician, Astronomy, Philosophy) there is a cool movie made about Hypatia it's called Agora played by Rachel Weisz.
Amezing
She was a real genius and the first computer programmer. Makes you wonder how far developed the world of today would be if men and misogyny didn’t hinder women and girls from higher education for thousands of years.
Right Misogynists are the real problem. Men ☕🤡☕
I can't believe you tricked me into watching a calculus video. See, this is how you get a computer science student to pay attention to calculus.
Good morning 🌞 ❤
ur da BEST
Is this New Zealand? Wow it's very pretty! Interesting talk.
i like your voice
Very calming and peaceful. Thank you.
Im hypnotized 😂❤🎉 I wish I could hold a conversation with you but I would need to study 😂😢
Nice
beautiful video as always.
It's really no mystery how Ada developed her interest in maths. Her mother Anne Isabella Noel Byron had an life long interest in the subject--Lord Byron disparaged her as "the Princess of the Parallelogram") Indeed during the Regency period maths was consider a suitable subject for young ladies. It was thought to order the mind
Hi Toby, I’m a big Gordon Lord Byron poetry fan.
Thank you soo much for sharing this.. 🤓🤓🧠🧠🔥🔥🌟🌟
I can't imagine learning Calculus by mail! Though I guess it's not that different from our modern asynchronous online courses.
Always great channel- down and dirty
Zen proverb, do one thing at one time. While you hike enjoy hiking and when you study then enjoy studying. By the way, this is not rule and depends on individual.
Nice views.
Ah New Zealand how I miss thee...
Just reminded of De Morgan's therum, which lions have never used.
Another reason to move to New Zealand.
4:17 For that equation, some use ratio and proportions.
"Everything is connected," that is this Analog Universe, but the realisation that this connection is Absolute Zero-infinity reference-framing containment/positioning, tells us not to assume we know anything solid in a hyperfluid in/of probabilistic projection-drawing vertices in vortices. Not surprising the Babbage Calculator was a strange difference "Engine". I agree Calculus is there up front, but without Mathologer's presentations, the nothingness I know is without the vector-values of time-timing sync-duration Calculus. Euler's Unit Circle derivivation indicates how life is the continuous rediscovery of absolutely nothing, the default POV in the functional Totality of pure-math relative-timing condensation modulation, made-of-making Analog Quantum-fields. Brilliant stuff.
Your writing seems to be filled with knowledge too incoherent for me to understand.
Your voice is so sweet you are like the Luna Lovegood of math and physics
Its so nice to learn about these name, after QI dropping their names but not really telling a whole lot about them. (except for talking about a pet lobster)
its nice to see how all accredited people weren't just geniuses and like the average person were confused by complex math and supposedly common place terminology.
I think in the future all explanations of integrals should be presented on a rock 🪨 in a national park 🏞️
Mt Cook/Aoraki ... I thought that looked familiar!
It is rumoured that ada lovelace saw a dung beetle carrying a portion of dung to it's home, observed it's handling of the portion and derived the concept of algorithm and programming.
