Check out the history of history. In the XII century significant events take place, as described in the Gospels: the coming of Jesus Christ, his life and crucifixion, although the existing text of the Gospels was edited and most likely dates to the XIV-XV cc. In the mid XII century, in the year 1152, Jesus Christ is born. In secular Byzantine history he is known as Emperor Andronicus and St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called in Russian history he was portrayed as the Great Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky. To be more specific, Andrey Bogolyubsky is a chronicler counterpart of Andronicus-Christ during his stay in Vladimir-Suzdal Rus’ of the XII century, where he spent most of his life. In fact, the Star of Bethlehem blazed in the middle of the XII century. This gives us an absolute astronomical dating of Christ’s Life. [ЦРС], ch.1. ‘Star of Bethlehem’ - is an explosion of a supernova, which at present is incorrectly dated to the middle of the XI century. The present-day Crab Nebula in the Taurus Constellation is the remnant of this explosion. Enigmatic timber scarcity in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages as first recognized by dender-pioneer Ernest Hollstein (1918-1988) "No sites exist anywhere with uninterrupted timber specimen from about 1000 CE backwards to Imperial Antiquity(1st-3rd c.). which is why the dendro-chronologies for Ancient Rome and, thereby the entire first millennium are in disarray. Since the very existence of the chronology periods without wood samples was never doubted by the researchers, nobody started to question our textbook chronology. Instead, out of stratigraphic context, scholars searched for wood samples in wells or moors to fill the irritating gaps. In addition, identical reign sequences were used twice in a row to gamer more years. Therefor, "all dendrochronological datings done on West Roman time wood is wrong by some unknown number of years"(") kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWxrmM6JipC7irg.html&ab_channel=PlanetAmnesia

With the help of these Pandits Alfazari, perhaps also Yaqūb ibn Tāriq, translated them. Both works have been largely used, and have exercised a great influence.

@@tokesalotta1521 While it's understandable to be skeptical of claims about historical inventions or discoveries, it's important to avoid making baseless accusations or assumptions about the motives behind the film or the people involved. Mathematics is a field that has been studied and advanced by people all over the world, and it is well-known that many important mathematical concepts were first developed in ancient China. To dismiss these achievements as "fabricated nonsense" without any evidence or research undermines the contributions and efforts of countless mathematicians and scholars throughout history. Additionally, it's important to recognize that films about historical topics often aim to educate and inform viewers, rather than promote a specific political agenda. While it's true that some governments may use propaganda to promote certain ideas or beliefs, it's important to approach any claims or information with a critical eye and seek out multiple sources of information to verify their accuracy. Ultimately, the study of mathematics has contributed immensely to our understanding of the world, and films that explore the history of mathematics can provide valuable insights into the creativity and ingenuity of the people who have advanced this field. Rather than dismissing such films out of hand, we should strive to approach them with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

The problem (in recent history) is so many people think that getting all their information and facts from the Internet is a smart way to do it because they've been taught that the computer has the answer to everything. The benefit of going and finding multiple books written by different authors with different perspectives and people with a historical knowledge of something is completely lost when to say society and if we don't find it again we're in for a rude awakening

Agreed. Whole I appreciate the documentary itself, it appears to me that this was posted by an outside channel using additional music over the top (public domain) to avoid getting copyright claimed by the people that actually made it (or at least I would guess as much). The most annoying part is when you hear music in the background of the documentary (Indian music, for example) behind the narrator talking, and then Tchaikovsky plays over the top of that, creating three layers of sound that conflict with each other. I do appreciate the documentary itself, but the background music is either a creative choice I don’t quite understand, or it’s a way to repost from another channel (in which case, I want to find that channel instead).

@ 1:30 & just prior, ( a^2 -1 ) = ( a + 1 ) ( a - 1) is illuminated without the equation itself being presented

Excellent video. Two corrections: 1. The Library of Alexandria was not burnt by the Arabs. It was burned when the fanatic Christian monks led by Cyril during the great fire of Alexandria in 391 AD (see British Encyclopedia). Cyril was the nephew of Pope Theophilus of Alexandria who extracted an edict from Emperor Theodosius (called the Great) in 389 AD to burn everything pagans including the Serapeum, the temple for the god Serapis and where all the books from the Library were transferred after the fire in the port of Alexandria in 48 BC resulting from Julius Ceasar battle with Ptolemeus IX brother of Cleopatra. The same monks attacked the great lady philosopher and mathematician Hypatia in 415 AD marking the total ending of the Library 2. The first person to calculate the earth circumference was the Greek Alexandrian mathematician/astronomer Erastotheses (276-195 BC) who used basic trigonometry by calculating the shadow of a stick at noon both in Alexandria and Syene (Aswan). His calculation is 90 Km different from current estimates This was long before the Indian mathematicians of Kerala (India) made their calculations in the 15 the century Otherwise the video is excellent !!

Between 270 and 275 AD, the city of Alexandria saw a Palmyrene invasion and an imperial counterattack that probably destroyed whatever remained of the Library, if it still existed at that time. The daughter library in the Serapeum may have survived after the main Library's destruction. The Serapeum was vandalized and demolished in 391 AD under a decree issued by bishop Theophilus of Alexandria, but it does not seem to have housed books at the time, and was mainly used as a gathering place for Neoplatonist philosophers following the teachings of Iamblichus.

Thank you for bringing up the work of Hemchandra and his discoveries regarding number sequences in the natural world. It is true that Hemchandra was an accomplished Indian mathematician who made important contributions to the study of numbers and sequences. Hemchandra's work on number sequences, specifically his discovery of the Hemachandra numbers (which are related to the Fibonacci sequence), is a significant achievement in the field of mathematics. His observations of patterns in the arrangement of flower petals and the development of mathematical models to explain these patterns was an innovative approach to the study of mathematics and the natural world. It is important to recognize that the development of mathematical knowledge and techniques is a collaborative effort, with contributions from mathematicians and scholars from a variety of cultures and regions. While the Fibonacci sequence is often associated with Western mathematics, it is important to acknowledge the important contributions of mathematicians like Hemchandra from other regions of the world, whose discoveries and insights have helped to shape the field of mathematics as we know it today.

You bring up some excellent points! It's crucial to recognize the significant contributions of Arabic mathematics, which have indeed had a lasting impact on the field. Arabic mathematicians have introduced numerous advancements, such as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system (including the concept of zero), the decimal system, algebra, and algorithms, which continue to be used and taught today. As for ancient Greek and Roman mathematicians, they developed their mathematical theories using their respective numeral systems, which, although less efficient than the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, still allowed for various calculations and problem-solving. They made great strides in areas like geometry, number theory, and mathematical proofs. The history of mathematics is a testament to the collective efforts and knowledge-sharing between different cultures and civilizations. We should celebrate these diverse contributions and appreciate the advancements made by various groups throughout history. Thank you for highlighting the importance of Arabic mathematics in this context!

According to another video there's some more details in the Tartaglia saga. Fior got a solution to a cubic equation from Del Ferro who shared it with Fior on his (Del Ferro's) death bed. Later, Cardan or Cardano swore an oath of secrecy to Tartaglia. But, Cardano found a copy of the original solver work: Del Ferro. So, Cardano figured it wasn't so secret. ("Imaginary Numbers Are Real Part 2") Moreover, while trying to solve Cardano's problem (x^2 = cx + d) another of Cardano's students, Bombelli, came up with i (the square root of -1). If you like this documentary I really recommend "Imaginary Numbers Are Real". They are short 10 min. videos or so & are very well made

The documentary "History of Mathematics" is a comprehensive exploration of the development of mathematical concepts and their significance in shaping the course of human history. The film effectively showcases the advancements made in mathematical understanding by various civilizations, including the invention of decimal systems and the number zero, the concept of infinity, the development of algebra, and the exchange of mathematical knowledge between the East and West. The blend of historical footage, insightful expert interviews, and visually appealing representations of mathematical concepts make this film a valuable educational resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of mathematics.

The documentary "History of Mathematics" provides a comprehensive overview of the development of mathematics from ancient times to the present day. It covers various mathematical concepts and discoveries, including geometry, algebra, calculus, and number theory. The film also features interviews with mathematicians and historians who discuss the significance of these mathematical breakthroughs and their impact on society. However, while the content of the documentary is informative and engaging, the video editing leaves much to be desired. The frequent sharp cuts between clips can be jarring and disrupt the flow of the narrative, making it difficult to follow the chronological sequence of events. Additionally, the fluctuating volume of the main vocal and inconsistent background music levels can be distracting and detract from the overall viewing experience. Furthermore, the overlay of two main vocals at certain points is a major flaw that could make it difficult for viewers to comprehend the information being presented. The audio production is an essential aspect of a documentary, and it is important to ensure that it is of high quality to ensure that the audience can fully engage with the content. In conclusion, the "History of Mathematics" documentary provides valuable insights into the evolution of mathematics, but the poor video editing detracts from its overall quality. A more polished audio-visual production would enhance the viewing experience and make it easier for viewers to engage with the material.
