Yes, currently working on part 3. It is about the historical motivation for calculus. i.e. why were mathematicians keen on studying and analysing curves and subsequently discovering calculus. I hope you'll like it
I'm a huge fan of you. I didn't want to finish watching. I wanted it to go on. So I kept watching in bits and pieces. I would love to meet you in real life and get my 12th math book I had used a decade ago autographed by you !!!
Even with only 3 videos up so far, you're already one of my favorite math youtubers. The explanations and animations are clear and elegant, and the historical perspective gives another dimension to these ideas that makes understanding them much more intuitive. Really looking forward to part 3, and to more videos in the future
Thanks, I really appreciate your comment and I am so glad you found the explanations and animations clear and elegant. I must say, I do ask myself at times whether it is worth spending all the time working on a minute detail. But comments like yours help me keep doing what I am doing. I am planning to put part 3 in April. I hope you will like it. P.S. cool name btw :)
please never stop! i love gathering knowledge of any discipline (from engineering to spiritality to art) and connect all areas to one big thing. everything is one.
Thanks for the encouragement Neil, I really appreciate it. I am like you, I like engineering, mathematics, art, philosophy and science and I enjoy exploring the connections between them.
Tarek, you are the most important mathematician on TH-cam after 3b1b. Your videos are so beautiful and helped me understand what calculus really is FINALLY. thank you so much. Please consider starting a Patreon for your channel so that we can support you in creating more of these wonderful videos. Thank you my friend
John, this really touched me. Thanks a lot for your kind words and support. It really means a lot. I am considering starting a patreon before launching my next video. Thanks for believing in me and btw comparing me to 3b1b is an honour. He was a massive inspiration for this channel :)
I can't explain in words how lucky i felt to find your videos. This history behind the mathematics that you explain are some of the most valuable ones. My heartly thanks for your videos and your selflessness.
Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me. I am glad you liked this channel and I hope you will like future videos too. Part 3 is coming soon :)
Keep the videos coming my friend. I'm currently working my way towards calculus in school, and your historical method of teaching how we came to understand the mathematics of curves is making me feel a lot more prepared to do well in it.
Thanks Graham and I am glad you are finding this approach helpful and that is helping you be more prepared for school. If I can help in any other way just let me know pease
I once tried to explain calculus to my friend who was so shafted by the school system that he didn't even know what a variable was. And the two videos you posted to your channel about the history of calculus helped him understand more about calculus in just a few minutes than any of my efforts. He's very proud of himself right now and appreciates your videos right. Please keep it up. The series is amazing
That's really great and I am glad that your friend found this explanation helpful. Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate and it motivates me to keep going :) I will be releasing parts 3 and 4 together asap. I hope you and your friend will like them
Wow. Thanks a lot for the generous support. I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me. I am currently working on part 3, which I just decided to separate into two parts to keep it easier to follow and I will be releasing both parts soon. Thanks a lot again :)
Beautiful. Thinking about your videos, one of the attributes I appreciate most is your pacing. The content is just right (not too dense not too superficial), and the pace at which you deliver it matches my brain’s ability to absorb it.
Thanks Gregg, I am glad you found the videos are at the right pace as this is something I keep asking myself all the time: is it too much? is too basic? I really appreciate your feedback :)
Just watched parts 1 and 2. I am a math teacher and I wish that when I was studying calculus in hs, our course had included such a discussion! Thanks for doing these and looking forward to the next episodes.
I am so glad and that you found the videos useful especially as a math teacher :) I have been working on part 3 for a while, it is taking longer than usual as it is a long video and I believe it is the most important episode in the whole series. The good news is that I am now in rehearsal phase. I hope you will find it useful too!
Love how u linked the 5 essential ideas together in summary form, although u could've done a full tutorial on each! Think it's high time we Math buffs got a Math History Channel! U got your work ahead cut out for u Tarek! 😄😄
Thanks.. the main aim is to build intuition about mathematical concepts. I find that going into too much detail can be counterproductive sometimes. Ha ha.. I must say I thought that by now I would have finished the calculus series and already started with the next one :)
You are a genius - brother. I wish you teach or launch maths courses especially for the Ummah who are left behind from the STEM subjects. I am so happy to find you on youtube
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m passionate about teaching and making mathematics accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. I'm glad to know my work resonates with you and I hope it continues to reach as many people as possible :)
Another amazing video that opened up a new horizon for me to understand one of maths most complicated field and its evolution. Again, can’t wait to see your next video 👍
Thanks for your support Moula, I really appreciate it. In those early days of the channel I have doubts whether my videos are worth all the effort and then I see your comments and I feel I am on the right track. Thanks a lot
Thanks for the encouragement. My hope that more school students get to learn about the history of calculus as I really think it is the easier, more intuitive way of learning it. And yes, I will definitely continue with the videos. I am currently working on part 3. It is taking longer than usual as it is a long and convoluted part of the history of calculus. I hope you will like it :)
I watch a lot of maths and science videos on youtube. Usually I get to a point where I Iose understanding. With your videos, so far, I can understand till the end. Great diagrams also. Thank you! I look forward to the next video.
Thanks David, I really appreciate your comment. My goal is to present ideas in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, so I'm thrilled to hear that it's working. Thank you again for your kind words, and I hope that you will find future videos easy to understand too :)
Thanks. I really appreciate your comment and I’m currently working on part 3. It is a longer video so it’s taking longer than usual to make. I hope you will Ike it
Definitely. I’ve been working on part 3 and it is in my opinion the most important part, hence the reason it is taking so long. It will be titled the motivation for calculus. I hope you will like it
Thanks Serhat, I really appreciate your comment and I will be releasing parts 3 and 4 together soon as part 3 will be a short one. I hope you will like them

Thanks Anderson, I am currently working on the next one. It is slightly longer so it is taking more time. I'm planning to release it in April. I hope you will like it
I had to use google translate to understand this. And I used it to write this.. I hope it is correct: Gracias, estoy trabajando en ello y espero que les guste :)
Thanks. I’m currently working on the third part of calculus. It will be about the historical motivation of calculus. It will answer the question: why were the mathematicians of the 17th century interested in studying curves and subsequently discovered calculus? I hope you’ll like it
Thanks Adam, I really appreciate your support. It did take a lot of research indeed. I asked initially whether you were still in TransGrid, but I just checked, Say hi :)
Hello, brother... You are doing a great job really and it helps me a lot to teach my younger students. Just go ahead. Everyone interested in mathematics can have better understanding from these videos. Wish you all the best... Thank you
Thanks for your support and kind words. I really appreciate and I am glad that the videos are helping you teach the younger students. Currently working on part 3 of calculus. I hope you would like it
Thanks Peiyi, I am working on it. It will be about the historical motivation for calculus to give a better understanding as to why mathematicians and scientists became interested in studying curves in the 17th century that led eventually to the discovery of calculus
Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I am working on part 3 now. It is about what happened in the 2000 year gap between Archimedes and Newton and the motivation for calculus. I hope you will like it
You seem very knowledgeable about the history of mathematics. May I know your credentials? Or at least, what your interests are that align so good for these videos?
My background is in electrical engineering and I am very interested in reading history, particularly the history of mathematics and science as I believe it is the best way to deeply understand a topic. I am also a communication skills coach. I hope this helps :)
Thank you Tarek for the historical perspective of Calculus. I like the Quadrature methods. A modern rendering is the Algebraic Calculus. I have a video series on this topic, which is based on the invariant properties of areas and slopes, instead of the limit. Check it out.
Thanks Ted, I am working on it and planning to publish it next month. I use Powerpoint. Not sure whether it is the best choice but it is something I already knew how to use and thought that learning Manim may be very time consuming. Having said that, in the video I am working on (calculus part 3) I am using After Effects as well
@@tareksaid81 Very cool you can do all that with just Powerpoint. I have some math video content I'm planning out, using Keynote (Powerpoint for Mac) - thanks for the inspiration.
Hi! I understand how much time and energy you have to put so to prepare videos of such high quality...its a service to all....I just humbly ask you to keep doing them...again thanks.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am currently in the process of working on part 3 of the project, which will be longer than the previous two parts. The focus of this video will be on the 2000-year gap between the Ancient Greeks and the 17th century, and will discuss the historical reasons that ultimately led to the development of calculus. I am planning to release it this month, I hop you will like it
Thanks for these videos! I have a question. If we look at the area of a hexagon, it is smaller than the actual area of a circle, when we double the sides of the polygon, it will still be smaller than that of the circle. Even the area of a polygon of infinite sides will be still just smaller than that of the circle. Why do we settle for something that is 'a little bit' inaccurate?
You are absolutely right, we shouldn’t settle for this method. Your question goes to the heart of the problem with infinities and infinitesimals and it was the reason the Ancient Greek mathematicians refused to use infinitesimals. They argued: How do we know what happens at an infinite sided polygon? They used a more rigorous method precisely to avoid such potential inaccuracies. I will talk about that method in a later video in the series: The Rigorisation of Calculus
Thanks Bassim I really appreciate your encouragement. This video is part of a series on the history of calculus that will go through the development of calculus step by step. So from that perspective we can consider it a course on calculus. Albeit one filled with stories and background information
@@tareksaid81 you are welcome , tracing history of things is a very effective way in introducing these types of topics, that's how it should be.. I am very excited for the next video🙂
Thanks for considering supporting me. It really means a lot. I don't have a patreon yet as I need to set up offers and categories which I don't have atm, but I will be putting something together soon. In the meantime I do have a "buy me a coffee" option.

@@tareksaid81 my bad🙃 , sorry I didn't see them. May I ask u Mr. Tarek about your major? mother country ? I believe you live in Australia. I loved your videos and I like to know you better 🙂
No worries :) I studied electrical engineering and then studied philosophy and I have a passion for mathematics, physics and history. Originally I’m from Syria, but I grew up in UAE and have been living in Australia for 18 years. What about you?
@@tareksaid81 Mashallah fascinating..wish u all the best .. I have a major in physics and minor in math I am a jordanian, originally from Palestine, most of my studies were in Kuwait, now I am working as a teacher in KSA for about 21 years, and you are welcome to visit me here it will be my pleasure to have you

Hi Vijay, it's interesting that you are taking Newtonian mechanics as part of a medical exam! I am working on parts 3 and 4 and will release them together asap. When is your exam?
@@tareksaid81Thanks for response Sir. It's a pre medical entrance exam called NEET held annually in India on first Sunday of May. It's like a Scholership to Govt Funded Medical colleges, About 2 millions students gives this exam with selection rate of 7 % Physics makes up 25% of portion, and without understanding of calculus it's impossible, other options is remember formulas and hope for the best, I can't afford chances, I need those numbers. I really like the way you explain thing, it helps me visualise bigger picture. 👍👍
@@VijayThakurMD That's very interesting. I now want to Google it and find more about it. I am glad you like how I explain things and that they help you visualise the bigger picture. I believe the upcoming few videos will help with this even further. Part 3 will be a short video to explain why curves were overlooked for nearly 2000 years and then part 4 will be a discussion about the practical motivation for calculus. I hope you will find them useful
Sure Jitender, I am working on it. It takes a lot of time especially when juggling a number of other things at the same time. I promise I will release it very asap though. I hope you will like it :)
What about the length of the perimeter of an ellipse? There are very good estimates but they are never correct.You cannot calculate the exact perimeter of a circle,the most common ellipse since you don't know the exact value of pi.Numerical methods can give very accurate approximations where the error tends to zero after an infinite number of iterations.You interfere with infinity at your own peril.Good video which I have learned a lot.Keep them coming.
Good point, yes there is no general formula for the perimeter of the ellipse and Archimedes only managed to find its area. And yes, dealing with infinity is filled with problems, that's why the Ancient greeks avoided it at all costs and they wrote the formulas for pi and for the area of the circle in terms of ratios between the perimeter and diameter of the circle. So for them pi = c/d and Area=1/2 r c
There are people who claim that calculus is a complex science, while others say that it is a simple and easy science. Is this related to its uses? For example, in physics, it is only arithmetic, but in mathematics, it is complicated and requires high analysis skills. Lately, this science has seemed interesting to me, and my curiosity to learn more about it has begun to increase
In my opinion calculus’ complexity is not related to its uses but to the way it’s taught. The way it is currently taught in most textbooks makes it really difficult to understand but I really believe that understanding calculus through its history is easy. Calculus evolved and changed over the years, it went from being based on infinitesimals to being based on limits. Infinitesimals are intuitive and easy to understand but they are not logically sound. Limits are the other way around. Almost all textbooks today teach calculus via limits, which I believe is the harder route to understanding calculus. I believe that it is much easier to start learning calculus via infinitesimals, and only study limits after developing a good understanding of what calculus is and what it does. My aim in this series is to make calculus more accessible. Hopefully it will help in your journey of learning it.
Thanks :) I am currently working on part 3 of calculus. It includes an intricate idea and I really want it to be as clear as possible as it is in the core of the practical applications of calculus. Hence the reason it is taking so much time. It would be great if you can give me feedback once I upload it!
I’m displeased with my school for having me memorize pir^2 as area of a circle when it turns out the derivation is far more interesting and not that difficult to understand.
Hahaha. Ouch!! You are totally right. I have written and rewritten the upcoming video many times as I think it is the most important video in the series hence all the delay. It will be titled the motivation for calculus, I hope you will like it
Hey Tarek, I take it that you don't know that the Greeks got there education after studying 20 years in Kemet(Egypt), such as Archimedes, Plato and Pythagoras to name a few. Even they themselves give this account, it's really easy to be honest. The Greeks appropriated Egyptian mathematics. Even when they appropriated the advance mathematics from Kemet it was clear no other civilization were able to use this knowledge better than the Egyptians. The Great Pyramids speaks for themselves, the Art, The Statues etc. It's just a shame the length Ancient historians were willing to go to falsify history after knowing the truth. Despite the desperate attempt by certain Europeans to commit these dishonesty, we have a few honest scholars who let the evidence that has escaped the ravaging speak for itself.
Indeed, I do mention in the video that Herodotus attributed the birth of geometry to the ancient Egyptians! I also mention in the description how Democritus wanted to boast about his geometric abilities, so he claimed that not even the "rope stretchers" excelled him. Which is a sign of the reverence the ancient greek geometers had for the ancient Egyptian ones
Please continue with great videos like these buddy. It's a privilege to know stuffs through a historical perspective.
Yes, currently working on part 3. It is about the historical motivation for calculus. i.e. why were mathematicians keen on studying and analysing curves and subsequently discovering calculus. I hope you'll like it

Thanks. I’m currently working on the third part of calculus. It will be about the historical motivation of calculus. It will answer the question: why were the mathematicians of the 17th century interested in studying curves and subsequently discovered calculus? I hope you’ll like it
👍 Really well researched and animated as usual Tarek. We'll done.
Thanks Adam, I really appreciate your support. It did take a lot of research indeed. I asked initially whether you were still in TransGrid, but I just checked, Say hi :)
Hello, brother...
You are doing a great job really and it helps me a lot to teach my younger students. Just go ahead. Everyone interested in mathematics can have better understanding from these videos. Wish you all the best...
Thank you
Thanks for your support and kind words. I really appreciate and I am glad that the videos are helping you teach the younger students. Currently working on part 3 of calculus. I hope you would like it
Yes! Please more!!
Thanks.. coming soon :)
great work, can't wait the next one
Thanks Peiyi, I am working on it. It will be about the historical motivation for calculus to give a better understanding as to why mathematicians and scientists became interested in studying curves in the 17th century that led eventually to the discovery of calculus
Superb !!!!!!!!!! Please do continue wiTH mORe VIDEO . Best of Luck......
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I am now working on part 3 and will release it in the coming weeks. I hope you will like it
@Tarek Said Many Many thanks......
just perfect.
Great video again.. interestingly agricultural fields in India are called Khet and farming is called kheti
wow... I didn't know that. I wonder if it is just a coincidence or it has some historic connection.
Super interesting thank you
Thanks Simon
Please keep making more videos thanks
Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I am working on part 3 now. It is about what happened in the 2000 year gap between Archimedes and Newton and the motivation for calculus. I hope you will like it
I loved this video. Thank you, really!
Thanks for your support Raul. Comments like yours keep me going. Much appreciated :)
You seem very knowledgeable about the history of mathematics. May I know your credentials? Or at least, what your interests are that align so good for these videos?
My background is in electrical engineering and I am very interested in reading history, particularly the history of mathematics and science as I believe it is the best way to deeply understand a topic. I am also a communication skills coach. I hope this helps :)
Waiting for part 3 🙏
Thanks, I am working on it. I will be releasing parts 3 and 4 together soon. I hope you will like them :)
Thank you Tarek for the historical perspective of Calculus. I like the Quadrature methods. A modern rendering is the Algebraic Calculus. I have a video series on this topic, which is based on the invariant properties of areas and slopes, instead of the limit. Check it out.
Thanks and your idea sounds interesting, I’ll check it your channel out
@@tareksaid81 My playlist is sequentially organized. Start with the intro. 🏁
Looking forward to the next video. (Are you using Manim?)
Thanks Ted, I am working on it and planning to publish it next month.
I use Powerpoint. Not sure whether it is the best choice but it is something I already knew how to use and thought that learning Manim may be very time consuming. Having said that, in the video I am working on (calculus part 3) I am using After Effects as well
@@tareksaid81 Very cool you can do all that with just Powerpoint. I have some math video content I'm planning out, using Keynote (Powerpoint for Mac) - thanks for the inspiration.
@@tedsheridan8725 That's great. All the best with it and if you publish it on youtube just let me know please, I am keen to watch it
Exelente amigo, siga así, saludos desde peru
Thanks.. Greetings back to Peru :)
Well explained
Thanks I also have a channel:

Thank you!
Hi! I understand how much time and energy you have to put so to prepare videos of such high quality...its a service to all....I just humbly ask you to keep doing them...again thanks.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am currently in the process of working on part 3 of the project, which will be longer than the previous two parts. The focus of this video will be on the 2000-year gap between the Ancient Greeks and the 17th century, and will discuss the historical reasons that ultimately led to the development of calculus. I am planning to release it this month, I hop you will like it
thanks man
Amazing please go on
Thanks Jorge, and thanks for you donation. It means a lot to me :)
Thanks for these videos! I have a question. If we look at the area of a hexagon, it is smaller than the actual area of a circle, when we double the sides of the polygon, it will still be smaller than that of the circle. Even the area of a polygon of infinite sides will be still just smaller than that of the circle. Why do we settle for something that is 'a little bit' inaccurate?
You are absolutely right, we shouldn’t settle for this method. Your question goes to the heart of the problem with infinities and infinitesimals and it was the reason the Ancient Greek mathematicians refused to use infinitesimals. They argued: How do we know what happens at an infinite sided polygon? They used a more rigorous method precisely to avoid such potential inaccuracies. I will talk about that method in a later video in the series: The Rigorisation of Calculus
Hats off , keep up the good work .. but i am asking if there is a plan for a calculus course or it is just some topics you are picking up ?
Thanks Bassim I really appreciate your encouragement.
This video is part of a series on the history of calculus that will go through the development of calculus step by step. So from that perspective we can consider it a course on calculus. Albeit one filled with stories and background information
@@tareksaid81 you are welcome , tracing history of things is a very effective way in introducing these types of topics, that's how it should be.. I am very excited for the next video🙂
Do you have a patreon?
Thanks for considering supporting me. It really means a lot. I don't have a patreon yet as I need to set up offers and categories which I don't have atm, but I will be putting something together soon. In the meantime I do have a "buy me a coffee" option. Here is the link if you are interested: www.buymeacoffee.com/tareksaid
Thanks a lot :)
This is amazing ..would you please write us the resources in the description .. thanks a lot
Thanks Nasser :)
The resources are already written in the description at the bottom. Is there a specific resource that I have missed?
@@tareksaid81 my bad🙃 , sorry I didn't see them. May I ask u Mr. Tarek about your major? mother country ? I believe you live in Australia. I loved your videos and I like to know you better 🙂
No worries :)
I studied electrical engineering and then studied philosophy and I have a passion for mathematics, physics and history. Originally I’m from Syria, but I grew up in UAE and have been living in Australia for 18 years. What about you?
@@tareksaid81 Mashallah fascinating..wish u all the best .. I have a major in physics and minor in math I am a jordanian, originally from Palestine, most of my studies were in Kuwait, now I am working as a teacher in KSA for about 21 years, and you are welcome to visit me here it will be my pleasure to have you
Thanks Nasser and I will definitely be in touch if I ever come to KSA. And it would be my pleasure to have you if you ever come to Australia. Until then!
When will next video come out
I'm about to start Newtonian mechanics for my pre medical exam
I really need it
Hi Vijay, it's interesting that you are taking Newtonian mechanics as part of a medical exam!
I am working on parts 3 and 4 and will release them together asap. When is your exam?
@@tareksaid81Thanks for response Sir. It's a pre medical entrance exam called NEET held annually in India on first Sunday of May. It's like a Scholership to Govt Funded Medical colleges, About 2 millions students gives this exam with selection rate of 7 %
Physics makes up 25% of portion, and without understanding of calculus it's impossible, other options is remember formulas and hope for the best, I can't afford chances, I need those numbers.
I really like the way you explain thing, it helps me visualise bigger picture.
👍👍
@@VijayThakurMD That's very interesting. I now want to Google it and find more about it.
I am glad you like how I explain things and that they help you visualise the bigger picture. I believe the upcoming few videos will help with this even further. Part 3 will be a short video to explain why curves were overlooked for nearly 2000 years and then part 4 will be a discussion about the practical motivation for calculus.
I hope you will find them useful
Please, I am waiting for the fourth part already 😭😭
Sure Jitender, I am working on it. It takes a lot of time especially when juggling a number of other things at the same time. I promise I will release it very asap though. I hope you will like it :)
Amazing video ✨
Thanks Akash. I am glad you liked it
When is your next video coming
I’ll be recording on the weekend, so probably sometime next week
more video , please
I am working on it and will publish asap
@@tareksaid81 definitely I will watch and enjoy , and more importantly will understand whats going on , thanks a lot
What about the length of the perimeter of an ellipse? There are very good estimates but they are never correct.You cannot calculate the exact perimeter of a circle,the most common ellipse since you don't know the exact value of pi.Numerical methods can give very accurate approximations where the error tends to zero after an infinite number of iterations.You interfere with infinity at your own peril.Good video which I have learned a lot.Keep them coming.
Good point, yes there is no general formula for the perimeter of the ellipse and Archimedes only managed to find its area. And yes, dealing with infinity is filled with problems, that's why the Ancient greeks avoided it at all costs and they wrote the formulas for pi and for the area of the circle in terms of ratios between the perimeter and diameter of the circle. So for them pi = c/d and Area=1/2 r c
more videos on calculus asap
working on it Syed :)
nice
There are people who claim that calculus is a complex science, while others say that it is a simple and easy science. Is this related to its uses? For example, in physics, it is only arithmetic, but in mathematics, it is complicated and requires high analysis skills.
Lately, this science has seemed interesting to me, and my curiosity to learn more about it has begun to increase
In my opinion calculus’ complexity is not related to its uses but to the way it’s taught. The way it is currently taught in most textbooks makes it really difficult to understand but I really believe that understanding calculus through its history is easy.
Calculus evolved and changed over the years, it went from being based on infinitesimals to being based on limits.
Infinitesimals are intuitive and easy to understand but they are not logically sound. Limits are the other way around.
Almost all textbooks today teach calculus via limits, which I believe is the harder route to understanding calculus.
I believe that it is much easier to start learning calculus via infinitesimals, and only study limits after developing a good understanding of what calculus is and what it does.
My aim in this series is to make calculus more accessible. Hopefully it will help in your journey of learning it.
please continue. you were sent by gods.
ha ha. Thanks :)
Yes I am working on it. Will release part 3 asap
i'm sad to even start watching this vid as i've seen all 3 you have posted 😭
Thanks :)
I am currently working on part 3 of calculus. It includes an intricate idea and I really want it to be as clear as possible as it is in the core of the practical applications of calculus. Hence the reason it is taking so much time. It would be great if you can give me feedback once I upload it!
👍

@@tareksaid81 that is so cool!! greetings from tunisia!! ✨🌟
@@tunistick8044 Thanks, greetings back to Tunisia :)
I’m displeased with my school for having me memorize pir^2 as area of a circle when it turns out the derivation is far more interesting and not that difficult to understand.
I agree, learning how theories came to be makes learning much more fun and easy
1:05 undertale reference!!!
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Everything okay??? 😬 I'm going to plot video releases on a curve. 🤔😉
Hahaha. Ouch!! You are totally right. I have written and rewritten the upcoming video many times as I think it is the most important video in the series hence all the delay. It will be titled the motivation for calculus, I hope you will like it
Hey Tarek, I take it that you don't know that the Greeks got there education after studying 20 years in Kemet(Egypt), such as Archimedes, Plato and Pythagoras to name a few. Even they themselves give this account, it's really easy to be honest. The Greeks appropriated Egyptian mathematics. Even when they appropriated the advance mathematics from Kemet it was clear no other civilization were able to use this knowledge better than the Egyptians. The Great Pyramids speaks for themselves, the Art, The Statues etc. It's just a shame the length Ancient historians were willing to go to falsify history after knowing the truth. Despite the desperate attempt by certain Europeans to commit these dishonesty, we have a few honest scholars who let the evidence that has escaped the ravaging speak for itself.
Indeed, I do mention in the video that Herodotus attributed the birth of geometry to the ancient Egyptians! I also mention in the description how Democritus wanted to boast about his geometric abilities, so he claimed that not even the "rope stretchers" excelled him. Which is a sign of the reverence the ancient greek geometers had for the ancient Egyptian ones
I LOVE your historical approach. And the clarity of your explanation. Graphics are excellent too.
Thanks, I am really glad you liked the videos and graphics and I hope you will like future ones too :)
