وطبيعة الفهم،
and the nature of understanding,
we aim for, everyone.
your perspective.
you don't have understanding.
فليست لديكم الكمية الكافية من الفهم.
as addition, subtraction,
عن الجمع والطرح
algebra -- all that stuff.
وعلم الجبر ... كل هذه الأشياء.
about the essence of mathematics as well.
عن جوهر الرياضيات
has to do with patterns.
just from drawing circles
of mathematics that I use every day
a structure, some regularity,
وهيكلًا وبعض التناسق،
بواسطة لغة.
these patterns with a language.
and just seeing what happens.
to do so many things.
بالكثير من الأشياء.
the mathematics of tie knots.
لعقد ربطة العنق.
center-out and tie.
المركز خارجاً واربط
left-in, center-out and tie.
اليسار خارجاً، المركز خارجاً واربط.
for the patterns of tie knots,
لأنماط عقد ربطة العنق،
about tying shoelaces
في رباط الحذاء.
are all over mathematics.
for patterns in nature.
بواسطة الرياضيات في نمط.
this with mathematics in a pattern.
for dancing, for tap dancing.
للرقص النقري.
to do cool stuff, to do new things,
من عمل أشياء رائعة، من عمل أشياء جديدة،
representing something actually is.
represent the word?
the word and the concept.
أن يمثل الكلمة والمبدأ.
going on about representing stuff.
that magic that happens
with different widths.
for a particular book.
this book, it's a very nice book.
إنه كتاب رائع جداً.
with some straight lines.
we move one down and one across,
نتحرك مرة للأسفل ومرة للجانب،
a little bit. I can rotate it.
أستطيع أن أديرها.
and look for the true pattern.
وأبحث عن حقيقة النمط.
the lines like this,
and change our perspective again.
what started out as just straight lines
كخطوط مستقيمة وحسب
يدعى القطع المكافئ.
بواسطة معادلة بسيطة،
day-to-day definition.
a little bit deeper,
what the nature of this is.
that's a little bit deeper,
to change your perspective.
you change your perspective,
about what you are watching
thing that we do all the time.
وأمر نقوم به طوال الوقت.
this simple equation,
and it's true,
and we represent it like this.
is equal to something else,
that every equation is like this,
أن كل معادلة هي بهذا الشكل،
where you use that equality sign
and taking two different points of view,
beautiful equations.
and the other one is.
ونفس الشيء على الجانب الآخر.
of the essential parts
different points of view.
We know what four-thirds is.
نحن نعلم ما تمثله.
those three dots,
على هذه النقاط الثلاث،
we use 10 digits.
نحن نستخدم النظام العشري.
and only use two digits,
change the number of digits,
of the same number.
like 1.3 or 1.6.
مثل 1.3 أو 1.6.
how many digits you have.
and write it like this.
وكتابته على هذه الصورة.
four divided by three.
لأنها تقول أربعة مقسومة على ثلاثة.
a relation between two numbers.
and three on the other.
وثلاثة على الجانب الآخر.
from different perspectives.
من وجهات مختلفة.
how we view something,
this line equals five, always.
فهذا الخط يساوي خمسة دائماً.
This is a beautiful pattern.
and just play more with this number.
وألعب أكثر بهذا العدد.
I'm going to rotate them like this.
four-thirds as fast.
around four times,
this dot where the lines meet.
ونرسم هذه النقطة عند التقاء الخطين.
is the image of four-thirds.
for a long time, but --
it sounds like this.
شغل نفس صوت (أ).
a sound, play the same A.
by four-thirds. (Beep)
فإن هذا الصوت هو (ث).
I'm changing my perspective.
from another perspective.
three beats at one time (Drumbeats)
مرة واحدة (أصوات قرع الطبول)
four times in that same space.
أربع مرات في نفس المجال.
but listen to them together.
and play games with this number.
وألعب بهذا العدد.
I love four-thirds!
أنا أحب عدد الأربعة أثلاث!
ونظرتم إلى حجم الكرة،
at the volume of the sphere,
of some particular cylinder.
حجم أسطوانة معينة.
It's the volume of the sphere.
إنه حجم الكرة.
to understand something
عن ماذا يعني أن تفهم شيئاً
by understanding something.
you understand something
from different perspectives.
من منظورات مختلفة.
إنه حرف الراء الجميل، صحيح؟
It's a beautiful R, right?
you've seen a bunch of R's,
لقد رأيتم حزمة كم حروف الراء،
and found a pattern.
is saying something
and changing your perspective
to teach something,
another story, a metaphor, an analogy,
استعارة، أو مشابهة،
from a different point of view,
over everything you see and hear,
that will become easier for you.
This is four triangles.
هذه هي أربعة مثلثات.
we're going to fold it up
and put them together.
change our perspective,
around all of the axes
from another point of view,
but it looks a little different.
something else appears,
more about the object
for creating understanding.
and put them together like this
like the octahedron.
it around like this.
join them together and spin it around,
ووصلتها معاً وأدرتها،
of an octahedron.
around the octahedron,
حول ثماني الأوجه،
is related to the octahedron.
مرتبطة بثماني الأوجه.
and just pump it up,
a little bit like the octahedron.
يبدو كثماني أوجه.
a metaphor, stepping back --
with perspectives and analogies.
I'm making several narratives.
make understanding possible.
تجعل الفهم ممكنًا.
of understanding something.
your perspective --
have a look at the ocean.
ألقوا نظرة على المحيط.
and view it up close.
from another perspective.
a little bit more about the ocean.
نتعلم شيئاً آخر حول المحيط.
we can kind of smell it, right?
يمكننا أن نشم رائحة المحيط، صحيح؟
are different perspectives.
in mathematics and computer science.
a structure from the inside,
and we've taken this journey
for changing your perspective.
and that you're sitting here.
from the outside.
are the most imaginative art forms ever.
هي أقصى أشكال الفن التخيلي.
from your perspective,
like from your perspective,
and this is all over computer science,
وهذا كله موجود في علم الحاسوب
between empathy and these sciences.
بين التعاطف وهذه العلوم.
to change your perspective.
try to change your perspective.
makes your mind more flexible.
able to understand things.

Why you should listen
Roger Antonsen is a logician, mathematician, computer scientist, researcher, inventor, author, lecturer, science communicator and public speaker. He teaches logical methods as an associate professor at the Department of Informatics in the research group Logic and Intelligent Data (LogID) at the University of Oslo.
Antonsen is also engaged in various forms of science communication and outreach. His academic interests are logical calculi, proof theory, mathematical logic, complexity theory, automata, combinatorics, philosophy of mathematics, but he is interested in most topics related to mathematics, computer science and philosophy. His vision is to communicate science differently, to inspire creative thinking and to remove the common misconceptions about mathematics and computer science.
