Also the indians' and their contribution in the world have been underrated especially in ancient and middle ages later scholarly works declined during 750 years of foreign occupation(Turks, mughal, then british) time but still happy that some people are spreading the word now Some of the Contributions of india to the world- Mathematics, Astrology, Ayurveda, Yoga, Zero, Toilet( atleast 2500 BCE), Chess, Shampoo, Wireless Communication, Buttons, Cure of leprosy and lithiasis, Cataract surgery and cosmetic surgery (2000 BCE), Natural fibres that are used in clothes(since 5th millennium BCE) , Ink, Fiber optics, Heena, apart from these USB and Intel Chip were also invented under indians. I know other countries have also made a lot of contribution to world but just wanted to let people know about a country what some arrogant people in West termed at times as tribal, uncivilized land...So this is a tight slap on their face. Sorry if someone is hurt but that is fact west has demeaned indian culture a lot without trying to understand except few unbiased indologists and orientalists.

Also, Pythagoras didn’t discover that root 2 was irrational, but someone within the cult of Pythagoras did. As the story goes, Pythagorean principles centered around the belief that the world could be perfectly expressed through numbers and ratios, however a simple mathematical proof was discovered that contradicted that belief. It is also rumored that the man who discovered this was murdered by the cult of Pythagoras either to cover it up or for blasphemy as mathematics at the time was treated basically religiously.

I know different version of the story, slightly more "justified" - irrationality of sqrt(2) was kept as a secret in Pythagorean cult as it was hard to deal with that fact according to their beliefs, and someone blurted it out, so he got executed by them for telling secrets to outsiders rather than heresy.

It wasn't treated religiously. It was the religion of Croton during that time. It was inspirational to Plato, in helping develop his world of Forms. You see, the Pythagoreans believed that math was the fundamental building block of everything, and that math existed in a pure form. Plato took this and ran with it. Thank math that Aristotle came around to set things straight. Good thing nothing will happen to all the work he's done. No one will willingly choose to believe in Platonic ideals when reality is so important, right? Aristotle isn't gonna be lost in the West for over 1000 years, right?

This is a channel we needed but didn't deserve

When I was watching this video around the 1:29 mark, I realized that the background music was none other than the orchestral piece "Themes of the Moldau!" Besides the video being a goofy mix of humor and simplified mathematical history (along with some additional facts), I really appreciated the choice of background music here, as I performed an arrangement (specifically by Robert S. Frost) with my high school orchestra classmates just a week ago from the time of typing (12/16/2022). Nonetheless, if I hadn't known the name of the background music, it would've been nice if the description had a "music used" list; frankly, I feel that plenty of other YT channels should adopt this same practice.

I know Pi has probably been proven to definitely be irrational, but how hilarious would it be if the computers finding the digits of pi just stopped... like they reached the end and we come to find out pi isn't irrational.

I was in a math competition my junior year of high school in which we had to learn how to do math with babylonian and ancient egyptian numbering systems. I had locked that memory away, but this video brought it back. It's amazing how much we take math for granted.

why in the name of miracle whip, do you need to learn math in babylonian and ANCIENT egyptian numeral??? i know it's a math competition but why though? couldn't they just think of something else like uhhh accounting

It would be wonderful to hear you explain the Table of the Elements.

Thank you, Gruk.

At present, the root 2 value is computed to 10 trillion digits. For general use, its value is truncated and is used as 1.414 to make calculations easy. The fraction 99/70 is also sometimes used as the value of √2.

Imagine if Tom Lehrer did "ancient math" IX take V is IV, now you look at XXX, which take XXX is, ... XXX-XXX? im not sure about that one. Never mind. Ignore the Xs C take L is L, M take DCC is CCC, and an M is left over Add it all you get MCCCLIV Old math Really old math It won't do you any good to do new math It's so simple So simple That only a roman can do it

Just like no one before "Pythogoras" knew how to use the Pythogorus theorem, no one knew how to use the number 0 before Brahmagupta introduced it in a formal way. And all the other stuff credited to Greeks which no one Earth had the big brains to figure out but only the Greeks had the ability to do.

Elementary theorems of mathematics spanned throughout the ancient world, but were mostly stated without proof. The Greeks were the first to prove those same theorems because Ancient Greeks loved debates; as such Greek mathematicians made use of the elenctic method to give mathematics a rigorous and unassailable foundation. The axiomatic deductive system that we know today evolved from the Greeks. No other civilisation had come up with it because they were more conservative and reverent than the Greeks; stage debates were a foreign thing to them, especially in China. The theorem is known today as the Pythagorean theorem because the Pythagoreans were the first to prove it.

@@nihilisticboi3520 Pythagoras theorem was known in other ancient civilizations like the Babylonian, China but the emphasis there was on the numerical and not so much on the proper geometric aspect while in the Indian 'Sulbasutras', one sees depth in both aspects - especially the geometric. This is a subtle point analysed in detail by Seidenberg. From certain diagrams described in the Sulbasutras, several historians and mathematicians like Burk, Hankel, Schopenhauer, Seidenberg and Van der Waerden have concluded that the Sulba authors possessed proofs of geometrical results including the Pythagoras theorem. One of the proofs of the Pythagoras theorem, easily deducible from the Sulba verses, is later described more explicitly by Bhaskara II (1150 AD).

9:23 Complex numbers and imaginary numbers are not the same. Imaginary numbers are only made of well, imaginary numbers while you can think of complex numbers as ordered pairs where the first number represents the real part, and the second one the imaginary part (though there are lots of ways to represent them, that’s where the fun part is). To put it in a more formal way: Both the set of real numbers and the set of imaginary numbers are proper subsets of the set of complex numbers. The intersection of these 2 sets only contains the number 0, and their Cartesian product (with R first and I second) would form the set of complex numbers, in a way.

they are only proper subsets up to isomorphism ala direct product (the linear subspace where the first coordinate is 0 is isomorphic (as a field) to the real numbers, and the linear subspace where the second coordinate is 0 is isomorphic (as ring operators on a field) to the imaginary numbers)
