The host of the evening show “Le Grand Journal” in the French premium television channel Canal+ asked on November 29th 2013 the guest of the show, Fields-medalist Cedric Villani to summarize in only one minute why he loves mathematics. In this special summary Villani described Euclid’s “Elements” (the book second only to the Bible in number of editions published) as a symbol of logical mathematical thinking. He demonstrated the practical applications of mathematics on his iPhone and he chose to illustrate the joy, beauty and mystery of mathematical discovery on a Gömböc.
