CÉDRIC VILLANI: This... is a Fields Medal.

In a way it's the dream of mathematicians, but

様態の副詞

the best thing you have to do to get the Fields Medal

is to do some good work, and not thinking about it.

this is Professor Villani's Fields Medal — you won this.

But my name is there very discreet, you know?

We mathematicians are small in front of the mathematical accomplishment.

Maybe the greatest mathematician of antiquity.

The inscriptions here are in Greek and Latin language.

"To get above oneself and conquer the world."

Which is about mathematical accomplishment.

To really do things that you would not believe yourself are possible.

With the help of many people, this Fields Medal…

…owes so, so, so much to my collaborators.

It was award for my works in statistical physics.

Study of the qualitative properties of the gases and the plasmas.

Please look at the… What is on the other side.

It means something about the mathematicians who have come from all around the Earth,

to give this to the people who most deserve it.

And this is one thing with the Fields Medal:

It is given by the head of state of the country in which this conference is taking [place].

CÉDRIC VILLANI: President of India. In 2010. Yes.

And it's an allusion to one of the most famous theorems of Archimedes.

and of the cylinder in which you can inscribe the sphere.

BRADY HARAN: How did you find out you'd won it?

When is the first time you're told that you're gonna get the medal?

"Hello. This is László Lovász from Budapest."

…I knew László was the President of the International Mathematical Union.

So, the only person whom I knew to be on the jury of the... Fields Medal.

And then, "I have news. Good news for you."

Then you can think of me becoming all white and so on.

BRADY HARAN: What, did you shout? Or did you make noise?

CÉDRIC VILLANI: "This is extraordinary! [incomprehensible]", et cetera.

"I can't believe it! Such beautiful day! Extraordinary!", blah blah blah.

And then he explain me, "Yes, and please keep it strictly confidential.

"It's very important you keep it secret."

I shut down [the phone], then I was like, [exhales]

And then I realize, journalist was there.

Maybe he did not speak English after all.

BRADY HARAN: The Fields Medal is often described as sort of a Nobel Prize of mathematics.

Do you ever feel like you don't deserve it?

Or did you — by that point, did you think,

"Yeah, I should get the Fields Medal for this!"

We all have this feeling, at some moment, that we don't deserve it.

there are those who do such amazing work,
