Show Me the Maths - Petra
Mathematics and mathematicians are not immune to the culture and politics of their times as Oxford Mathematician Petra explains in our latest 'Show Me the Maths' film.

An interesting topic in the history of Mathematics. All the best in your work, Petra!
it's funny cuz the title says show me the maths but zero maths have been shown

Hmm, it might be a NP hard problem to take the mathematician out of the maths and I believe that the International Mathematical Union (IMU) is about those mathematicians.
I want to be like her 😭
This is more a study of history than maths…… Unless her knowledge is on the technical level. Then its both.
Edward Frenkel will have some stories to tell if you can get to him. He writes about the discrimination he faced in the USSR trying to get into school there.
The title looks like from a meme lol
Are you give me admission for the M. Phil and mathematics plz help me
Sooo, what about inversion math, and physics???
❤
I wish I could understand and appreciate mathematics at the level mathematicians do. Like I have read about Euler's identity and it seems incredible to me that these numbers arranged in that way could produce such a result, but it's been said that to a high level mathematician the reason is obvious.

I don't think it's obvious but there's a very comprehensible proof for that identity. the proof I know, and I guess it's the most simple one, involves pretty much nothing but Taylor Series(it's a way to make a polinomial that approaches functions, in this case e^x, sinx and cosx. this is probably how you calculator computes them. if you wanna know also why is that true, there's a nice proof on wikipedia), and highschool level trigonometry and complex numbers. the core of the proof is using the taylor series of e^x, plugging ix instead of x, extracting the i with algebra and observing it's the taylor series of cosx, plus i times the taylor series of sinx. now you have the formula e^ix=cosx + isinx, plug π instead of x and you get -1.
Where was Herzl in 1897? hmm,
my medal in box
this is not even about history of maths, it's just history which IMU and Soviet mathematicians got involved
Hi mam
I need all kinds of help
I love math but I'can not studding now

why not?
I was waiting for the maths to be shown, disappointed 🤔
sorry, but this has nothing to do with oxford mathematics. please post maths content instead of this.

The Oxford Maths department do research in the history of mathematics. It may not be a big part of the department, but it is a part of the department. That makes it valid enough research to me.

@@senorgooba7360wrong. There’s zero mathematical content in this. Sorry toots! I quite enjoy history of mathematics but only if ACTUAL MATHEMATICAL IDEAS are included. This is probably for the best. You should leave actually difficult challenging math to the experts at Cambridge.
