Показать описание
Explore the relationship between genius, madness, obsession, and creativity with bestselling author, journalist, and TV personality Paul Hoffman. During this Math Encounter, Hoffman discusses the legendarily eccentric Paul Erdős, who, for more than two decades, lived out of two tattered bags, crisscrossing four continents and chasing mathematical problems in pursuit of lasting beauty and ultimate truth.

Hoffman received a special introduction by Science House founder and prolific inventor (400+ patents), James Jorasch. Jorasch was recently named "Father of Invention" by Psychology Today.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting the video.

I agree...boring and what seems to amount to self-aggrandizement; but, in light of all the greats who came before all of them, too, of course, pave the way, in turn, for all of these folks, and so on, ad infinitum...

Presentation at the beginning is way too long. BORING.
Keep it within 1 to 2 minutes. It was as interesting as poking my own eye with a chinese pick.
