Non-Euclidean Geometry [Topics in the History of Mathematics]

[@mikefuller6959]

I used to creep down stairs in the early hours of the morning in the 1980's to watch Open University. Happy days!

[@mikefuller6959]

+Mike Fuller I never understood a word of it! I just liked it and admired how clever the lecturers were! I wished to be as clever!

[@vengerer]

+Mike Fuller how cute :)

[@buckpartington7161]

what with cock in hand

[@mikefuller6959]

+Vladi Nekoloff (vengerer) Thank You, Vladi! It is nice to come across a nice person!

[@theaviary1]

+Mike Fuller Me too I used to watch it as a child - goodness knows I couldn't understand it

[@reddevil9554]

I used to watch them every weekend as a kid, because I got up early and there was no kid's TV on until later back then. If you wanted to watch TV early, only this was ever on lol.

[@maurpine]

this is fantastic! i love this timeless instructional programs

[@NorthEastTrailRunner]

We need more intellectually stimulating television programmes like this, and less X Factor.

[@PatGleeson123]

Absolutely - TV has gone downhill since those days - chasing the lowest common denominator - sad really ...

[@AvNotasian]

Can't be done. The initial audience would require skills for every new TV show the likelihood that the whole audience can watch and comprehend is very low. Someone needs to collate all stimulating programs into a youtube guide.

mind blown at 12:21

[@EdiDrums]

21:31 Oh, Jeremy!

[@hanniffydinn6019]

I miss open university programs on tv on in the early morning

[@net51cc]

Beautifully told. Thus just triggers my curiosity.

[@donaldklopper]

Brilliant videography! The shirt that changed.. The camera dollies and the 3D models. Wow.

[@billyh88uk]

I actually remember watching this - it would have been one of its last TV showings in the mid 2000s (maybe this showing?) when I was a sleep-deprived teenager. Didn't quite get all of it but interesting to watch!

[@MarsHareMarshAir]

i think i must've taped this slightly earlier than that - I remember watching it with my housemates 2000/2001/2002? Pretty impressive that these old shows had such longevity anyway

[@ronin6158]

i love when he's making a particularly noteworthy point and his voice cracks.

[@Robert-qs4th]

Anyone else procrastinating math homework to watch this?

[@frazzleface753]

Jeremy Gray is still at the OU :)

[@innertubez]

0:15 either Jethro Tull or Mick Fleetwood teaching math.

[@Spix_Weltschmerz-Pucket]

Thank you for the upload! :)

[@chopped4skin620]

Thanks for uploading ... Do you have anymore videos in the series?

[@MarsHareMarshAir]

Afraid not, I taped over a lot of subjects after I later studied them so mostly history and nature docs left.

[@chopped4skin620]

Sorry to hear that. Anyway - check this out and tell me what you think ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKbRaqWFZ795ask

[@MarsHareMarshAir]

Chopped4Skin Sorry, just saw this it was marked as spam!

[@arj123sub]

Fantastic video. Helped me get the basics

[@gpcrawford8353]

Left school with no exams ,didn't like the style of teaching , used to watch these to see what I was missing got married and worked all hours god sent bang went watching them . Much later on I was recovering from severe ear infection and surgery read a book forget title in which it claimed that time is relative and gravity is a fictitious force. This was contrary to what I learned in school,I liked science there, got into special relativity and tried to understand general relativity still trying geometry on a sphere is the key but alas the mathematics is still beyond me. Learnt a lot about Einstein the man though .

[@Herb.]

Ah yes, curved space. *straightens monocle*

[@emadal-shirbeeny4696]

How I can get the script of this lecture or video?

[@metorical]

Oh man, I remember watching this when it was on! Up way too late.

[@russellmoxham5625]

That gives me the fuckin' nostalgia horn

[@gatehanger1385]

It seems that men wore non-Euclidean clothes in the 1970's....

[@garyzod8818]

Yes Joseph I remember the 70s rather stylish.

[@wleon4068]

Well, that was clear enough. Lolol.

[@robertbrandywine]

The 5th postulate *is* intuitively obvious.

[@pickledegg1989]

"The Sum of the Angles" by Concretism brought me here.

[@stevenrogers6983]

Creepy good..

[@Holobrine]

That parallel postulate looks obvious to me.

[@fitofight8540]

i think euclid refered only to a straignt line in his parallel postulate. . a line drawn on a globe is not straight so the postulate do not apply.

[@bobbutler606]

Be honest how many of us had heard of this topic before now?

[@david-yt4oo]

blew my mind

[@BLUEGENE13]

we live in a non euclidean space

[@jamesrobinson4028]

I watched this as part of my degree course!

[@wi11ydapimp]

Good old bbc

[@Novasky2007]

looks like a non eucledian beard :D

[@raythetse]

It's actually infinitely large at the tip.

[@yugsnave1]

i'm procrastinating going to bed ;)

[@apburner1]

This is dumb. Euclid's postulates are valid IN Euclidean space. Gee, why doesn't diesel work in a gasoline engine?

[@rkent06]

This guy must have got some serious poontang

[@andrewpartington4375]

rkent06 ill bet he can't swear online what the fuck

[@garyzod8818]

Geometry hmm interesting.
