euclid algorithm wasn't first appear in the form that you proposed. Alexander Stepanov summarized history of greatest command divisor very well in "Greatest Common Measure: the Last 2500 Years" amazing talk that mathematician who enjoy algorithm will enjoy.
@CJT While the Romans did not make any notable contributions to pure mathematics, they were very competent engineers and builders and administrators, and also during their dominance mathematics still progressed, in Alexandria for example, which was under their control. But that was more a continuation of the Greek tradition, not a Roman one.
Among the best professor out there, and among the best lecture ever.
Excellent professor wildberger

No 1 is not a prime number. If it were, then we wouldn't have uniqueness of prime factorization, which would be a nuisance. For example, 18=3x6=1x3x6.
Wildberger, excellent work as usual.
Thank you! I was good in math at school but at a more superficial level. This goes deeper and is very interesting!
Awesome!!
Very good lecture and the drawings are, also, very helpful. Thank you very much.
love your videos . keep them coming.
This is very good exposition. Thanks for posting
Thank you sir
Good stuff for mathmatics and philosophy.
thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Time for my regular visit to the University of New South Wales
Thanks it's a privilege to watch you teach. Did the Romans have much of a contribution to mathematics? After the Greeks you skipped to the Arabs.

@@njwildberger You're absolutely right!
