One wonders what is more enjoyable the proofs of mathemetics or the musical notes on voilin. Extraordinary rendition and wonderful composition.

I was nominated late last year but I later discovered that the deadline as passed. Will sure be nominated again this year. My research breakthrough are Truck and Trailer- Quadratic Inequality New Solution Method and Trigonometric Equation.
WATCH OUT GUYS!!

What a classy production. Mathematics is a subset of music and music is a subset of mathematics so they are equal in a point-set topological fashion… maybe in heaven we will hear the prize winners sing their mathematics… i know mathematics sings in my heart. Mathematics is the syntax of the possible… our Queen. Pls defend the Soundness and Completeness Theorems as they are under attack by many trying to destroy logic and rational thought.

Hello from the country Venezuela. In my city Valencia there was an electrical failure that did not let me see the award ceremony. Is there an opportunity to see an already recorded video of the ceremony? What are the steps to watch that replay video of the awards ceremony?
Thank you very much for your attention !

Interesting to watch the effect of such a show. Most of people believe that math can help to solve problems like for the 5G but in fact this is not the case.
