    I really love working my way through these lectures. I think too many universities don't put enough emphasis on teaching the history of math. Everything is presented in a kind of haze, but knowing the chronological order of what was known when and who discovered it really increases my general understanding and appreciation of the subject.

      You are quite right, the history is very important for understanding.

    Whenever you say stuff like "And that was Archimedes talking to us, from hundreds of years ago", it sends a chill down my spine. Great stuff.

    Great videos. I love the history of mathematics. It's the subject where we can learn how mathematicians think and develop new math. These ideas don't come out of a vacuum.
