The Nature of Causation: The Counterfactual Theory of Causation
In this second lecture in this series on the nature of causation, Marianne Talbot discusses the counterfactual theory of causation. We have causal theories of reference, perception, knowledge, content and numerous other things. If it were to turn out that causation doesn’t exist, we would

The idea of ‘atonement’ sounds very old-fashioned and is deeply rooted in religious tradition. To atone means, in essence, to acknowledge one’s capacity for wrongness and one’s readiness for apology and desire for change. It’s a concept that every society needs at its center. For gifts and

How an Equilibrium Constant varies with Temperature - Thermodynamics - Physical Chemistry
Deriving a quantitative relationship to show how an equilibrium constant varies with temperature and so showing were Le Chatelier's Principle comes from in this context. Along the way, the Gibbs-Helmholtz van't Hoff equations are derived and used. My video for deriving the thermodynamics

Haowen Zhang - Brauer-Manin and cohomological obstructions to rational points
In the problem of deciding integer or rational solutions of polynomial equations (i.e. finding integer/rational points of a variety), we often first look at the “local” solutions over all the Q_p. When does a collection of local solutions give rise to an honest global solution over Q? Ther

Minhyong Kim: Recent progress on the effective Mordell problem
SMRI Algebra and Geometry Online: Minhyong Kim (University of Warwick) Abstract: In 1983, Gerd Faltings proved the Mordell conjecture stating that curves of genus at least two have only finitely many rational points. This can be understood as the statement that most polynomial equations

The Problem With Perfectionism
We aim for perfection without a correct idea of what perfection might demand from us. To strengthen our resolve, we need to improve our picture of what sacrifices any achievement will demand. If you like our films, take a look at our shop (we ship worldwide): https://goo.gl/p8kdj3 Join ou
