Is Norman Wildberger the greatest mathematical mind of this century?

>> No.6574577

No, we still have 86 years left.
Wait until the information age stabilizes and produces something or someone not seen before.

Someone should fuck with the Rational Trigonometry page. I'm too lazy.

>> No.6574620

No. His ideas are firstly trivial, secondly stupid and thirdly limited. Besides, like the other cunt said, it's 2014. It's too early to say who will be the greatest mathematical mind of this century.

He looks like a shitty porn star. Always thought so. Especially with his facial hair.
And his accent is the worst. Fucking Moose fucker

>> No.6574676

At least he teaches his shit to everyone using the most accessible and practical channel (youtube).

Seriously, you have to respect that.

>> No.6574681

isn't that the guy from youtube who compared the idea of pi with santa clause and teaches these typical american lessons, were you draw some figures on the blackboard, babble for 60 minutes about some ideas and don't give any proper definitions, theorems or proofs

>> No.6574685

>>6574681
He's not American nor does he teach in America.
Nice attempt to bash Americans though.

>> No.6574690

he has given me better intuition about math than anyone else. but he likes geometry too much. seriously, there is nothing wrong with algebra, I think he just has beef with numbers.

Wildasperger pls go

Wildberger is basically exactly this but in non-sarcastic form:

Still better than hiding yourself in overpriced Springer publication and orally explaining your stuff to ten people in total.
