I only understood that the board is moving up and down.

[meero]

YouTube is overestimating me putting this in my recommendations

[voules]

Do I speak fluent English?
No.
Do I understand math on this level?
No.
Do I like to way she explain this?
Of course.

[hadierturk]

Isn't anybody going to appreciate how good a lecturer she is?

[trblemker]

Why did I voluntarily click on this video.

[wiseowl]

Maths is a wonderful subject!

The key to learning maths is mastering the basics before you move on higher up.
Most folk get intimated by maths simply because they don't master foundation topics which more advance levels rely on.

Vicky Neale has a very charismatic way of talking about maths.

[denissssss]

I think oxford students have a easier life because their professors r way more fascinated about their module and they r able to explain it better

R.I.P. Vicky. [This bubbly lady deeply passionate about mathematics was sadly taken from us way too early, at the age of only 39, due to cancer. But her videos stay on, hopefully to inspire others for many years to come.]

[HarrietLizzie]

I’m halfway through the lecture and I’ll have to say this is amazing! You deduced so much from a very simple equation. Unbelievable.

[deeprecce]

Absolutely a con job!!! She puts so much grace into otherwise a really mentally chanllenging subject!!! Hats off to her presentation, wish i had her as my lecturer!!

[gopalashetty]

[rbdel]

With algebra 1 you can reach 3 mins into this video.

[BilalRaza-tgmw]

Hey
I think it is the good activity to show all the world about the true skills of mathematicians working at oxford university.I want to suggest that mathematicians at oxford should make a video lectures on the specific topics of mathematics which are delivering in the class.I hope you will uploads more videos about mathematical world.
Thanks

[elijaprice]

So sad that she died so young, I'd encourage anybody watching this video to look up her appearances on 'In Our Time' on BBC Radio (free to download), as a guest she was really wonderful at explaining complex things concisely for a wider audience.

[pranavdubey]

She says the lecture is for 30 minutes
Run time 27:41
That's how the mafia works
