Euclidean geometry was the first thing I learned in school that totally excited me, amazed me, elicited reverence and passion. I am old now. I have returned to studying maths after a life spent in their absence. I am once again excited and amazed.

Hey guys, if you're wondering, I checked and the Tchaikovsky music isn't another tab running. It's really part of this video.

I saw this on BBC about 14 years ago and I am still mesmerized by and very appreciative of this documentary. I am impressed that this eminent professor had the humility to acknowledge the significant mathematical contributions and discoveries of the eastern civilizations! Many westerners are ignorant of these facts and many wouldn’t even believe these facts even if they are made aware!

I think the Indus valley civilization had mathematics, because their city planning and system of weighs and measurements require some mathematics.

This is one of the most interesting documentaries.

Another important early treatise that publicized decimal numbers was the Iranian mathematician and astronomer Kushyar ibn Labban's leading arithmetic book Kitab fi usul hisab al-hind (principals of Hindu reckoning).

love the content. y'all could stand to hire someone with a bit more experience to do the sound mixing. Just a bit clunky for modern speaker systems. I think it would greatly help your audience retention

If this doc didn’t start in Egypt I would’ve stopped watching immediately.😂 Good Documentary 👍

I was involved with the production of this doc. At least give credit for it.

And please stop thanking commenters as if you had any hand in making this. You merely copied and pasted a documentary. It's not your work.

Just listened to a few minutes to get a taste of this documentary. Some things i have to take in small amounts and repeat n order toprocess all the information...and enjoy it. So, keeping this documentary in mind...and quite interested in listening to it entirely

Another famous monk was I-tsing.He spent ten years in Nalanda and returned to China with 4, 000 Sanskrit manuscripts containing more than 50, 000 slokhas. He compiled a Sanskrit-Chinese dictionary.

Thank you for keeping knowledge alive!

I wanted to review History of Mathematics and I was tired of watching drills and reading concise reviewers. So I decided to find a documentary instead to learn the history of mathematics in a different way and this video did not disappoint me. I learned History of Mathematics in an entertaining manner
