A (very) Brief History of Henri Lebesgue

In this episode, I run through the life of Henri Lebesgue, known almost solely for his PhD thesis on integration. Thought that would overshadow much of the work did during his lifetime, he researched in many areas of mathematics.

Apologies ahead of time for my poor accents when trying to pronounce names. My French pronunciation needs work...

On sets of measure zero, always bet on Lebesgue

Really enjoy your videos.
Also, using Ravel’s Sonatine and Debussy’s Clair de Lune for background is quite appropriate for the Lebesgue video, which could not be integrated in any other way.

Wow this channel is an undiscovered gem

Awesome video man :D Keep them coming! It is pretty amazing how many great mathematicians France and Germany have been able to produce.

Your french pronounciations made be laugh - but still, great presentation on the man and his work.

[gucker]

Thank you for this video! I really enjoy your series on the great mathematicians!

Suggestion: add words on the screen when you are putting forward a quote. Great video

[davidherrera]

Interesting.
Also, three words: Clair de Lune

Informative good video, highly academic that's all, philosophy is good think but common sense works, we respect great men but rarely we follow them. Sky

Your pronunciation is distracting. Is it purposely hammy because you're afraid of sounding bad? (Hence the exaggeration?) Try to learn IPA and write the symbols in your script. That failing, check the audio on Wikipedia and transcribe it as you hear it.
