This is a recording of C.K.Raju's lecture on his work on history of mathematics. This is a part of decolonizing our universities initiative of Multiveristy. This talk is interesting to me because it gives all the proofs necessary to say Euclid did not actually exist. It also opens our eyes to the double standards that is prevalent in nature of accepted evidence. This is not for the faint of the heart. Also ignore the comment of the lady towards the end...

Prof. C.K.Raju's work fascinates me. I think i get a lot of things he is talking about but a long way away from understanding the math and science behind it. But if what he says is true, relearning calculus would be amazing. The essential point of is talk is science and math as we do it today is infused with a lot of metaphysics. Indian did math as number crunching only. On the face of it, it is hard to believe that the things we take for granted is not as straight forward as we think it is...

A great talk by Tim Harford. Trial and Error method is a very important emperical technique which formed basis of Indian mathematics. Western civilization ascribe more weightage to logical proof (which is believed to be more certain) than emperical.

As usual, Balu delivers an awesome lecture. I wish he uses more of "Idli - sambar" kind of examples to send the message across. It makes it easier to understand this problem which is highly abstract. The talk is in 4 parts, so press the forward arrow if the next part does not automatically load. Send me your feedback!
