  • Brief history of Mathematics

    This brief history of mathematics was well done. However, I would have liked it a little bit longer to get into the minds of these great mathematical minds. My daughter was excited about all these mathematicians. Are we going to hear from you about other mathematicians.

    Thank you very much indeed for the podcast.
