How Greek Maths Changed the World
Δημοσιεύθηκε στις 14 Μαΐ 2014
Professor Alan Davies presents a
series of groundbreaking experiments pioneered by the Ancient Greeks.
Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded
numerous advances in philosophy, science, engineering and mathematics
which have shaped our understanding of the modern world.
Assisted
by Ri demo technician, Andy Marmery, Professor Davies demonstrates the
key discoveries and experiments of many Greek thinkers -- from Thales
and Pythagoras to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria.
This video was created as part of the Greek Legacy series of events, generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (http://www.snf.org).
The
conference for sixth form students, held on Friday 6th March 2014, was a
day of interaction and discovery - from exploring the astrolabe and the
steam engine to exclaiming "Eureka!" and asking "How did they do
that?". Alongside Professor Davies' demonstrations, talks were presented
on Euclid and Hypatia. The audience discovered how the Greek
Philosophers established the foundation of modern mathematics through
the concept of proof, and students from Imperial College presented
Greeks: The Musical!
Plus, there was the first ever public-screening of the Ri animation, The Greek Legacy.
