who said ‘lets have 360degrees in a circle’? thats all i want to know, why
is it considered to be 360 degrees in a circle? does anyone have any
insight? thank you
+bxs0099 1) al kwarizmi was persian. persia was conquered by islam. this
doesn’t make his discoveries “muslim”.
2) he didn’t make algebra, he just developed the works of others, in
particular of diodone, another greek
3) to say that the discoveries of someone living under an islamic state are
muslims is like to say that galileo’s discoveries are christians lmao
4) muslims preserved nothing. aristotle was copied by the christian
nestorians in syria. then muslims conquered it, killed the nestorians and
destroyed almost all their works. what we have today is not thanks to the
muslims but despise the muslims.
5) averroe and avicenna, often the pride of the supposed “muslim science”
were actually considered heretics by the muslims of those time
so, go you to read some history book. you are just repeating the propaganda
spread by muslims over and over again, because they cannot accept the fact
that they’ve contributed nothing to the world but violence and injustice.
I like the way people fight over religious Facts… – Am halfway through (
17:32 ) when I notice religious comments on this video and am Like WTF are
those doing here?
It looks hehas no knowledge of ancient India or China.origination of
calculus, algebra, expanion of no.sTrigonometry and concept of zero and mm
imfinity no knowledge
Thanks Greece for your Mathematics!
There’s some giggling girdie in the audience who has a moist spot for Mr
Dersch.
Very well done, both the mathematics and the presentation, which held my
interest for the full program. I learned a great deal.
I would like to see Prof. Dersch speak on the topic of the square root of
2. especially the proof that the SQRT(2) is truly a random number. I copied
one of the 1 million-digit expansions of SQRT(2) and ran an FFT analysis,
and was befuddled to see a flat noise spectrum, meaning to me random data.
How can an algorithim produce random data ? Didn’t know such was possible.
What an amazing teacher!
this weird guy there talking in this video.
he said “… was the greatest mathematician, ever” at least 2 times. (i
dont want to hear more from that point)
i wonder how he got this position to talk about mathematics to young
students, who usually suck up anything they hear without understanding and
questioning it, if he himself even don’t understand the difference between
1 and 2.
If Robin Williams was a mathematician…
My apology for asking but, what was the story from function to
distribution? Which one comes first? function first or distribution first?.
I need the history of distribution (mathematical distribution) in the book
form if you could enlight me on that issue. Thank you very much. Please
accept my apology because I am not mathematician (yet). I am learning
mathematics. Thank you very much.
the sound on this sucks
what did the heckler say at 3:30?
One language speaking illiterate monkeys producing videos and spreading
garbage as history. Man your small brain isn’t enough for history. You
become a Christian or Muslim preacher and convert some people by tricks or
violence
good lecture. People clown on community college professors, but this guy
seems like a legit professor. grand rapids community college
Excellent lecture; he did an excellent job presenting what he characterized
as “fifty weeks” of information in fifty minutes. He accomplished this by
not presenting any mathematics per se, but he really had no choice and his
presentation definitely discusses mathematics; he just doesn’t show the
equations. Very interesting talk.
Very interesting! I’m starting a module in history of mathematics tomorrow
at King’s College London and this was a great crash course!
Absolutely fantastic lecture. *Very nicely done.* :)
Islam preserved the ancient greeks? man I have never heard this kind of
bullshit before,.., it was the medevil copiers et al, who preserved the
writings…Sorry,.., islam is seeking truth? LMOA what kind of political
correct crap is this? SUre there was a period of enlightenment, but it was
despite islam….,
Eastern never believed in proving anything, even in mathematics ;)

Fantastic! Are there any other lectures by this professor online?
this is great, i don’t like math but this was interesting
