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?

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.

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.

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)

2:20 obviously, they didn't use this formula. Actually, it is really simple math (I was never taught that this was the way they do it, but I made this method it makes perfect sense). I'm a math teacher, btw Imagine you want to compare a long stick to a brick. You see that the lenght of the stick is equal to 2 whole bricks "and a bit more". That means the lenght of the brick is a bit more than a third (because if it was a third, it would fit exactly 3). So it is 1/3 + error. You measure this "bit more"(error) and see how many times it can fit the whole stick. If the error length fits exactly 20 times in the stick length, that means this error is 1/20. If it doesn't fit perfectly, you can repeat the proccess and get even more acurste answers. So instead of trying to find a numerator and denominator for this fraction, they used this simple method to say it was 1/3 +1/20 instead of 23/60. If you were an engineer, how would you know that you had to divide by 60? The way we approach is divide always by ten equal parts (decimals). But the Egyptian way is also very interesting and cool and it is cool to show how numbers can be written in a way completely different from ours. We can see their behaviour in many different ways.

@@nihilisticboi3520 Pythagoras theorem was known in other ancient civilizations like the Babylonian, China but the emphasis there was on the numerical and not so much on the proper geometric aspect while in the Indian 'Sulbasutras', one sees depth in both aspects - especially the geometric. This is a subtle point analysed in detail by Seidenberg. From certain diagrams described in the Sulbasutras, several historians and mathematicians like Burk, Hankel, Schopenhauer, Seidenberg and Van der Waerden have concluded that the Sulba authors possessed proofs of geometrical results including the Pythagoras theorem. One of the proofs of the Pythagoras theorem, easily deducible from the Sulba verses, is later described more explicitly by Bhaskara II (1150 AD).

I always love explaining to younger students the concept of complex numbers, but I always call them imaginary numbers because it's funnier to present it to them as a number that literally doesn't exist. Great thing is, as long as they know what a square root is and how it works, they can actually follow along with what an imaginary number is, at least at its most basic. I also like telling students that my favourite number is e, that always throws them through a loop.

complex and imaginary numbers are actually different. Complex numbers are any numbers that have a real part and an imaginary part in the form a+bi, like for example 4+2i.

[@JonathanMandrake]

@@Justwannaswim Yes, complex numbers are defined to be the extension of the real numbers that also includes the number i, such that if you add or multiply two complex numbers, you get another complex number. Imaginary numbers are a real number multiplied with i, so they are a subset of the complex numbers. Just like any rational number is a real number, an imaginary number is, just like any real number, a complex number.
