The Story of (almost) All Numbers

Have you ever wondered how we came up with all these non sense numbers? Well now you can find out. Watch along and find out the history of all numbers. (mostly)

Gruk is the most underrated mathematicians of all time

this man basically explained the math lore

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.

It's interesting how when we look back, we realize how inefficient other older number systems were, but ours seems so good. Imagine on the future our number system is looked at like we see the ancient Sumerian one

4:00 for anyone wondering, this number is 69420.

2:59 The square root of 2 is approximately 1.41421356237, and 577/408 is 1.41421568627. They're pretty close to each other and it's impressive to think how they could approximate the square root of 2 to such an extent.

For anyone wondering how you can count to 1024 on just your fingers, count in binary. Each finger can either represent a zero by being down, or a one by being up.

With ten fingers, you can count up to 2¹⁰ or 1024

It is quite amazing that many mathematician from all around the world calculated the value of pi and they never met with each other or knowing each other's work.

I knew accountants were epic but not this epic 😎

Thanks for saving the best for last! e is such a powerful constant. It also ties into complex numbers since sine and cosine can be expressed as a form of e to the x, although in engineering, we say j instead of i. I'm also a big fan of Planc's constant.

6:45 "Bengali numerals, eight for four and nine for seven, this is madness!"
as a bengali growing up learning english, I can confirm

Hey thanks for explaining the story of my great-grandfather gruk. Means a lot.

[dyanfisher]

I dont think I ever knew just how complicated math really is until watching this video

[matej_grega]

Underratedness levels are really high. We need to make more people know h0ser for he is amazing.

[isaacjacobharris]

Euler didn't actually name e after himself, he just liked to use vowels as variables and had already used a in his book

[borgiaz]

Thanks to Gruk, I fail at least one exam a year ! Thanks mate 💪

[patcam]

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 always wondered, how confusing were the big roman numbers to educated romans. is it confusing to us because we arent used to it? or was it actually that confusing. some people even today can read roman numbers just as easily.

It feels unfair that indian schools dont teach about ancient indian mathematicians, the only thing I ever learnt is that we invented zero
