Sir William Timothy Gowers, FRS (/ ˈ ɡ aʊ. ər z /; born 20 November 1963) is a British mathematician. He is Professeur titulaire of the Combinatorics chair at the Collège de France, and director of research at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
The main ideas discussed are how we use mathematics to model the world, the process of abstraction, what proofs are, how mathematicians generalize in surprising ways (such as making sense of shapes whose dimension is not an integer) and various notions such as limits, geometry in high dimensions, and curved space.
