Introduction to Geometry: Ancient Greece and the Pythagoreans

I have to tell you, Ancient Greece is my favorite era of history. Oh, how I wish I could have been there to philosophize with the greats! Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, plus all of the mathematicians, like Pythagoras. He loved math so much, he made a religion out of it! I mean it makes sense,

Analytic geometry and the continuum (b) | Math History | NJ Wildberger

The development of Cartesian geometry by Descartes and Fermat was one of the main accomplishments of the 17th century, giving a computational approach to Euclidean geometry. Involved are conics, cubics, Bezout's theorem, and the beginnings of a projective view to curves. This merging of nu

Non-Euclidean geometry | Math History | NJ Wildberger

The development of non-Euclidean geometry is often presented as a high point of 19th century mathematics. The real story is more complicated, tinged with sadness, confusion and orthodoxy, that is reflected even the geometry studied today. The important insights of Gauss, Lobachevsky and Bo

Geometry for Kids - Introduction

This is a series of videos on Geometry, with kids in mind (~ 9 or 10 years old). We will start from some basic definitions, and then work on some elementary plane geometry: lines, angles, polygons, triangles, etc, and work our way up to proving some theorems! In this first video, we introd

Mechanics and the solar system | Math History | NJ Wildberger

The main historical problem in the history of science is: to explain what is going on with the night sky, in particular what the planets are doing. The resolution of this was the greatest achievement of the 17th century. The key figures were Copernicus, Galileo, Brahe, Kepler and most fa
