Description: MSRI Director and UC Berkeley Professor of Mathematics David Eisenbud spoke to MSRI's Math Lovers Forum (mathlovers.msri.org) in November 2019. In this video recording,David Eisenbud recalls that most of us learn in high-school how to factor polynomials: for example, x2-y2 = (x+y)(x-y), and x2+2xy+y2 = (x+y)2. Some of us also learn that factoring y2-x3 is impossible.However, it is a long tradition in mathematics that one can solve more problems if one widens one's point of view. David will s
