Also the indians' and their contribution in the world have been underrated especially in ancient and middle ages later scholarly works declined during 750 years of foreign occupation(Turks, mughal, then british) time but still happy that some people are spreading the word now Some of the Contributions of india to the world- Mathematics, Astrology, Ayurveda, Yoga, Zero, Toilet( atleast 2500 BCE), Chess, Shampoo, Wireless Communication, Buttons, Cure of leprosy and lithiasis, Cataract surgery and cosmetic surgery (2000 BCE), Natural fibres that are used in clothes(since 5th millennium BCE) , Ink, Fiber optics, Heena, apart from these USB and Intel Chip were also invented under indians. I know other countries have also made a lot of contribution to world but just wanted to let people know about a country what some arrogant people in West termed at times as tribal, uncivilized land...So this is a tight slap on their face. Sorry if someone is hurt but that is fact west has demeaned indian culture a lot without trying to understand except few unbiased indologists and orientalists.

[@MynameisS_A]

@@gyanprakashrai9412 Indians have contributed way too much, but as told in the video, Arabs liked to tell that it was their discovery instead that of Indians. This tells a lot about how Arabs and the outside forces were in the Middle Ages and before that. They only wanted their own fulfilment and the idea that someone would do such a thing is absolutely disgusting and heart-wrenching… As a maths student, I can say that this is equivalent to disrespecting someone’s grave after they have died…

Also, Pythagoras didn’t discover that root 2 was irrational, but someone within the cult of Pythagoras did. As the story goes, Pythagorean principles centered around the belief that the world could be perfectly expressed through numbers and ratios, however a simple mathematical proof was discovered that contradicted that belief. It is also rumored that the man who discovered this was murdered by the cult of Pythagoras either to cover it up or for blasphemy as mathematics at the time was treated basically religiously.

[@baltofarlander2618]

I know different version of the story, slightly more "justified" - irrationality of sqrt(2) was kept as a secret in Pythagorean cult as it was hard to deal with that fact according to their beliefs, and someone blurted it out, so he got executed by them for telling secrets to outsiders rather than heresy.

[@brutusthebear9050]

It wasn't treated religiously. It was the religion of Croton during that time. It was inspirational to Plato, in helping develop his world of Forms. You see, the Pythagoreans believed that math was the fundamental building block of everything, and that math existed in a pure form. Plato took this and ran with it. Thank math that Aristotle came around to set things straight. Good thing nothing will happen to all the work he's done. No one will willingly choose to believe in Platonic ideals when reality is so important, right? Aristotle isn't gonna be lost in the West for over 1000 years, right?

When I was watching this video around the 1:29 mark, I realized that the background music was none other than the orchestral piece "Themes of the Moldau!" Besides the video being a goofy mix of humor and simplified mathematical history (along with some additional facts), I really appreciated the choice of background music here, as I performed an arrangement (specifically by Robert S. Frost) with my high school orchestra classmates just a week ago from the time of typing (12/16/2022). Nonetheless, if I hadn't known the name of the background music, it would've been nice if the description had a "music used" list; frankly, I feel that plenty of other YT channels should adopt this same practice.

Imagine if Tom Lehrer did "ancient math" IX take V is IV, now you look at XXX, which take XXX is, ... XXX-XXX? im not sure about that one. Never mind. Ignore the Xs C take L is L, M take DCC is CCC, and an M is left over Add it all you get MCCCLIV Old math Really old math It won't do you any good to do new math It's so simple So simple That only a roman can do it

Just like no one before "Pythogoras" knew how to use the Pythogorus theorem, no one knew how to use the number 0 before Brahmagupta introduced it in a formal way. And all the other stuff credited to Greeks which no one Earth had the big brains to figure out but only the Greeks had the ability to do.

[@mygills3050]

@@rlpn6710 there are some geometric proofs, most of which use rearranging various similar triangles to form negative space.

[@alternateperson6600]

Elementary theorems of mathematics spanned throughout the ancient world, but were mostly stated without proof. The Greeks were the first to prove those same theorems because Ancient Greeks loved debates; as such Greek mathematicians made use of the elenctic method to give mathematics a rigorous and unassailable foundation. The axiomatic deductive system that we know today evolved from the Greeks. No other civilisation had come up with it because they were more conservative and reverent than the Greeks; stage debates were a foreign thing to them, especially in China. The theorem is known today as the Pythagorean theorem because the Pythagoreans were the first to prove it.

[@ishanbajpai6940]

@@alternateperson6600 Offcourse buddy and because you are saying this that means you have read all the proofs of theorems given by Greeks and other civilizations with conclusive evidence that Greeks were less conservative and had more open debates than others civilizations. I would trust that you wouldn't just make shit up on the internet without definitive proofs for your claims about Greek supremacy

Nah he should stop making videos if they're gonna have misinformation. Arabic numerals came from Arabia first and taught to the Indians. Modern day Arabic uses old Indian numerals, and India made new numerals. Now Arabic numerals are used in English. Had Arabs just kept the Arabic numerals both English and Arabic would have the same numbers and hindi would have something else. Teaching Indians these new numerals was a mistake by the Arabs, because now they lose all credit. These numbers have been engraved in stone long before they taught them to other groups.

At present, the root 2 value is computed to 10 trillion digits. For general use, its value is truncated and is used as 1.414 to make calculations easy. The fraction 99/70 is also sometimes used as the value of √2.

Roman numerals were actually super efficient for basic algebra. I’ve since forgotten how it works but I remember that much.

[@Solitaire001]

From what I understand, people wouldn't do calculations using roman numerals. Instead, they would do the calculations on a counting board and then write down the results in roman numerals.

9:23 Complex numbers and imaginary numbers are not the same. Imaginary numbers are only made of well, imaginary numbers while you can think of complex numbers as ordered pairs where the first number represents the real part, and the second one the imaginary part (though there are lots of ways to represent them, that’s where the fun part is). To put it in a more formal way: Both the set of real numbers and the set of imaginary numbers are proper subsets of the set of complex numbers. The intersection of these 2 sets only contains the number 0, and their Cartesian product (with R first and I second) would form the set of complex numbers, in a way.

[@MagicGonads]

they are only proper subsets up to isomorphism ala direct product (the linear subspace where the first coordinate is 0 is isomorphic (as a field) to the real numbers, and the linear subspace where the second coordinate is 0 is isomorphic (as ring operators on a field) to the imaginary numbers)
