Science Sunday!
Today I thought we’d go back to maths.
Look Around you 1 – Maths from Joe Hathy on Vimeo.
(One of my cow-orkers sent me this video originally, without any context. I didn’t realize until I went looking for it again that instead of being a semi-contemporary parody of 1970s educational films, it was actually a post-2000 parody of 1970s educational films, and part of a series called “Look Around You“.)
(Give it time. It builds.)
“An Evening with Leonhard Euler”, a lecture by William Dunham. I loved Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics (affiliate link).
Short bonus, since the first video is long: from Numberphile, “e (Euler’s Number)”.
I kind of want to do some stuff with Newton, Gauss, Évariste Galois, and some other mathematicians. But I think next week I may do something with pi, and then something with i the following week.
