50 Centuries in 50 minutes (A Brief History of Mathematics) 

It is impossible to master no matter how much you try

Its essential to learn

Well said my dear friend

Couldn’t agree more

The older I get, the more pain of an ass it becomes to try to study math 🙃

It is videos like this that tip the scales to great for the use of YT. Here's a concise and entertaining view of people who shaped our world. I can't think of better lecture to introduce young minds to mathematics. Well Done!

veritasium has it

Compared to who?

​@@eddykohlmann471 WHY AND HOW GRAVITY AND TWO DIMENSIONAL SPACE ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS E=MC2: E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!! The TRANSLUCENT blue sky is manifest as (or consistent with/as) what is BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE. Accordingly, ON BALANCE, the TRANSLUCENT blue sky is true/real QUANTUM GRAVITY !!!! THINK !!! ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Accordingly, ON BALANCE, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Importantly, what is GRAVITY is an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded (or blocked) ON BALANCE. Great. You didn't forget to consider what is the orange (AND setting) Sun ON BALANCE, did you !!!!? Magnificent. I have FUNDAMENTALLY and truly revolutionized physics. (Lava is orange, AND it is even blood red.) GREAT !!!! Obviously, carefully and CLEARLY consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE, as it ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!! (BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.). Fantastic !!! The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. What is E=MC2 IS dimensionally consistent !!! The density of what is THE SUN is then necessarily about ONE QUARTER of that of what is THE EARTH !!! INDEED, notice what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON ON BALANCE !!!! What is E=MC2 IS dimensionally consistent !!!! Indeed, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!! CLEAR water comes from what is THE EYE ON BALANCE !!! Excellent. Think. By Frank Martin DiMeglio

Interesting one to know

even probably much earlier.

That's a teachers pet

Didn't the Muslims simply catalogue earlier Greek and near East scientific discoveries in their libraries, and after the dark ages, with Europe reinvigorated, the knowledge was re-learnt? After all, why nothing of any consequence from the Islamic world once Europe started back on the road to enlightenment? Why did all the great work take place in Europe, and also later by European Americans, while Muslim nations did little of note? Surely, if they had done so much previously it would have continued? Or, is it the case that Muslim scholars reached the peak of their abilities, and had benefited greatly from the work of others, and when they couldn't catalogue and observe the work of others they fell behind...rapidly? Seems like there's a direct correlation between Muslim decline and their access to the work of others. No question, the Islamic preservation of that knowledge was vital, but keep it must be kept in perspective. Or do you disagree?

@andrew ansyon You didn't address my point.

@andrew ansyon That Muslim scholars catalogued the work done by others, preserved it, definitely built upon it, but wouldn't have been anywhere without the knowledge of others, and as soon as Europe pulled itself together we had the Renaissance and Enlightenment, we had Newton and Darwin, we had the industrial revolution, then the age of standardisation and production lines, the combustion engine, advances in medicine and vaccination, surgery and pharmaceuticals, the microchip etc...centuries of progress and innovation, whilst Islam declined as an intellectual and military force. Seems a bit of coincidence, no? Why didn't they invent the steam engine in Tehran, or discover penicillin in Baghdad, or the lightbulb in Damascus? My point, was if Islamic scholars (and the general populace obviously) were anywhere near as capable and intelligent as you make out, by rights, it should have be Muslim world which built upon such solid foundations and became the epicenter of technological development. Instead, it floundered. I say, because once it could not rely on the work of others, coupled with, I'm sure, a less open and enquiring approach to the world, it fell behind very quickly. This enquiring approach is something which, by its very nature, must question the big themes of life and the universe, which invariably means tackling the subject of God, and this is where Islam becomes inflexible and finds itself at an impasse. You could not, and still cannot, as Muslim scholars in the Muslim world, broach the subject of God as being fallible or attribute things to anything other than God. It just isn't allowed. To them, the Qu'ran is the perfect, unalterable, infallible, word of God. The merest suggestion it might have mistakes is sacrilege and will see your head removed from your shoulders. This isn't a mentality or a place where the rigours of modern science can flourish. You couldn't have had a Darwin arguing natural selection in the Islamic world, could you? Surely, the response would be, God created all things and they are perfect. Anyway, I think I've made my point and I'm veering into territory that I'm not sufficiently well read in to make assertions. I am speaking broadly, within the bigger picture. I'm glad we kept it civil and I'd be interested to see if you agree somewhat with my general point.

@andrew ansyon So, your answer is "the Mongols"? Didn't Europe, the Soviets, and America go through hell and half obliterate itself in WW2 and within 20 years was mapping the genome and put men into orbit? Didn't Japan get nearly wiped from the face of earth by two atomic bombs and within decades were producing the most advanced electronic devices on earth? All empires and nations fall...it's how quickly they rise. Why didn't Islamic scholarship revive and rebuild, and continue its work? Was it because, when it required fresh thinking and not building on much that was already done by others, they couldn't really achieve much? You say Europe took the work of Muslims, as if that validates Islamic scholarship, but don't acknowledge the same thing when Muslims took the work of others themselves and try to invalidate the work of Europeans by saying they wouldn't have gotten anywhere without Islamic works. Isn't that a bit of a double standard? My original assertion was that much of the work, and therefore the advances, made by Islamic scholars was because they collected, catalogued, and preserved the work of other civilisations - and that those civilisations deserve the credit for much of what followed as Europe fell into darkness. Do you agree or disagree? Did Muslims build on the work of others, as you claim Europeans did? I feel like you are contradicting yourself somewhat.

Good Will Hunting

I was thinking the same thing. All that Dr. Dersch needed was about 27 cups of coffee to master Robin Williams.

If you havent read it in the original Persian, you are just an orientalist. I note that Persian polymaths were much better poets than modern scientists.

Wayne Isaacs - True. I studied information theory ca. 1970. I don’t recall coming across Shannon’s name since, until this.

Bayes worked in the 18th century. That's not really recent thinking.
