An Inside View of the Institute for Advanced Study

IAS produced this short film about its multifaceted community of scholars to capture the passion and enthusiasm on campus and reflect firsthand how the IAS environment supports and influences researchers' work. The film bridges the Institute’s history with the present day, conveying the timelessness and necessity of supporting curiosity-driven research in the sciences and humanities.

have been doing research for my life, just realised that i have been actually doing mathematics...
what a joy!

[Dixitkushagra]

Just imagine Freeman Dyson chilling in the lawn.

[rajitharanasinghe]

My ultimate dream destination as a mathematician. :)

[chandrapandey]

Dream place for any academian and intellectual. I'm in awe...

[sahanglpi-]

This place is truly like a dream ... Just Think ... No Other. I hope someday, there will be a place like this in my country. 🥺

[AllChannels]

Wow, that was a really inspiring clip.

[siddharthsingh]

Freeman Dyson is the literal representation of "Like a Boss" meme. A Master's amongst the Postdoctorates. A Legend. <3

[SophiaNasr]

why are there two "thumbs-down" on this video?! this place is awesome!!

[habib.bhatti]

This place is magical!! Wow, would love to be there

I used to wander the intitute woods as I played hooky from my art classes at Pratt. I was trying to escape the nonsensical pretension that was enforced in my classes. I really feel that mathematics and science are the true educators of art. It is too bad that the Institute does not have an artist residency that integrates science and mathematics into art. Why do you only have an artists residency for musicians?

I create algorithmic art and I have so many questions that I wish could be answered.

Thank you for doing this for Humanity.

I fucking love science. And, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Freeman Dyson was still among us! I want to move to Princeton just to socialize with him.

Was that that Iranian mathematician woman on the footage? She just solved his problem, she was very good indeed. She will be sadly missed

Always play sport against a better player, if they like teaching and you like learning.

If "only 5% of the Universe is known".., 5% of infinity is still infinity. Knowing the Principle by which function becomes a modality of form, is most of 100% of the value in this quality.

[shudhanshushekharmishra]

Looks like i finally found the location of where i want & especially need to be...

[clydecessna]

I think these people should pay no taxes. Why are we making life difficult for them?

[MS-odje]

Mandelbrot never really knew what he had discovered. William Rowan Hamilton was close. They missed each other by 140 years.

[jessnepherdominic]

Can a student who has complete a Vocational School attempt to work there?

[양익서-gj]

우리 모두가 같은 원자 분자로 이루어져있다는 사실을 생각하면 우리를 만든 양자정보가 있다는 생각은 놀랍지 않다

[fractalnomics]

I'm working on all they are but on my own. I think I will solve it, or at least add to it, on my own too.
