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. Robert
Excellent & entertaining

Great podcast on the history of mathematics. Brief and not at all comprehensive yet informative and entertaining nonetheless.

If this podcast were called “A selection of biographies of European mathematicians” I would not hesitate to give it five stars. Unfortunately it’s actual title is a poor fit for its Euro centric content. Even in the episode of Indian prodigy Ramanujan, the spotlight is clearly on Hardy, not on Ramanujan. Really?!
