Magic Numbers: Hannah Fry's Mysterious World of Maths
In this three-part series presented by Dr. Hannah Fry, we will journey through the evolution of math from its philosophical origins to its status as a universal language and the foundation for all of science. We’ll meet the great thinkers whose breakthroughs have shaped the language of math, and with it our understanding of the world. As we travel from the past into the future, we’ll discover that this language is far from complete, as we search to answer one of science’s most profound questions: Where did Math come from – was it invented or simply discovered by humans.
