A lecture by Professor Milton Mermikides, Gresham Professor of Music.

Despite being cited as one of the most creative and influential guitarists of all time, and his tragically short life, Jimi Hendrix’s playing and composing are yet to be fully analysed.

This lecture demystifies his diverse influences and reveals the full range of his extraordinary invention in terms of sonic sculpting, rhythmic feel, fretboard navigation, harmony and composition. We explore this dazzling creativity from his early playing as a sideman to the Isley Brothers, the Experience albums, the iconic Band of Gypsys project, to the tantalising promise of his ‘Electric Church’ musical vision.

$How to Prove 1=0, And Other Maths Illusions - Sarah Hart In this lecture I will show you some mathematical illusions: “proofs” that 1=0, that fractions don’t exist, and more. There are curious and important implications behind what’s going on. These “proofs” reveal some very common logical slips that can go unnoticed when we are trying to prove more plausible statements. And the stakes are high. As I’ll show you, once you have “proved” one false claim, you can prove absolutely any statement at all. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:35 1=0 04:12 The smallest positive number is 1 06:04 All triangles are isosceles 10:45 What is proof? 14:13 1p=£1 15:15 Real-world impacts of mathematical mistakes 19:15 Solving 1p = £1 20:14 More proofs that 1=0 22:42 Everything is true 24:58 0 is greater than 0 27:26 Explaining infinite series 40:04 Riemann series theorem and 1/2 = 1/3 48:00 Spotting the errors 53:52 Conclusion 55:55 Q&A session This lecture was recorded by Sarah Hart on 14th May 2024 at Barnards Inn Hall, London Sarah is Gresham Professor of Geometry.
