Where we explore the historical figures that count. An in-depth look at the history of mathematics, in chronological order, looking at the people, the theories, the ideas - with as fewer gaps as possible. Each episode we focus in on a single character or contribution to the history of maths and explore why it is significant, and how it evolved.

Episode 11 - Injectives - Peter Adamson on The Early Philosophers
Q: Have you considered what mathematics really is and how it's different from philosophy?
