Hermann Minkowski (/mɪŋˈkɔːfski, -ˈkɒf-/; German: [mɪŋˈkɔfski]; 22 June 1864 – 12 January 1909) was a German mathematician and professor at Königsberg, Zürich and Göttingen. He created and developed the geometry of numbers and used geometrical methods to solve problems in number theory, mathematical physics, and the theory of relativity. Minkowski is perhaps best known for his foundational work describing space and time as a four-dimensional space, now known as "Minkowski spacetime", which facilitated geometric interpretations of Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity (1905). (Wikipedia).
This is a basic introduction to Minkowski's inequality, which has many applications in mathematics. A simple case in the Euclidean space R^n is discussed with a proof provided.

Einstein (and his friends) came to some pretty crazy conclusions about gravity. By the end of this video, you'll have no choice but to come to the same conclusions. We'll start with a little background though: From Galileo in 1632 all the way to Einstein in 1905 and 1915. _________________
