I know a lot of people consider this guy a meme, or a god, depending on who you talk to, but I started checking out his videos and I really enjoy his lectures on the history of math. I like how instead of just explaining the concepts of certain civilizations he actually provides proofs and delves into the roots of the concepts. Anyone else watch this? What are your thoughts? I highly recommend checking this out, whether you like the man or not.
I watched a plenty of them. In one of the videos he compares himself to Fibonacci: when Fibonacci tried to popularize Hindu numerals in Europe showing everyone how much of a better system it was, nobody really paid attention at the time. He sees his rational trigonometry as a similar thing.
