Thank-you for the upload. I really enjoyed that. Especially as he talks of the Egyptians system being less advanced to the Babylonian's... I once taught myself the Egyptian method for basic mathematics and found it to be very 'comfortable' - it felt different... perhaps more connected to the world around us (i.e. measurement lengths)... this was some time ago though ;-)
cool - glad you like the video. I have some others for AM289 but didn't get round to uploading them. I watched these videos and found them very interesting and they don't seem to be in circulation for a while.
The video I uploaded today got my attention where the first speaker says "Maths presents a body of alternatives" - *edit* its Morris Kline - I didn't realise that at first.
