I apologize if this is off topic.


I think most of his listeners would agree with me that Gian-Carlo Rota had a wonderful style of lecture delivery. I have heard him lecture, both as an undergraduate lecturer and a technical colloquium speaker.


My efforts to find any video recordings of Rota delivering a mathematical lecture have failed. Thus my question, does anyone know of any such videos? MIT Archives might have some, possibly, but I am not based in North America so contacting them has proved to be difficult.



Videos of Gian-Carlo Rota Lectures
Here is an [Introduction to Geometric Probability](https://bookstore.ams.org/video-102/) by Rota --- sold by the AMS for quite a hefty sum.


This [transcript](http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Extras/Rota_Snapshots.html) of a 1997 lecture might convey some of the flavor without the expense. And here is [one more transcript](http://www.ega-math.narod.ru/Tasks/GCRota.htm), also from 1997.


It would indeed be delightful to hear more from someone who can say things as memorable as:  

*We often hear that mathematics consists mainly of "proving theorems". Is a writer's job mainly that of "writing sentences?"*
