From the seventeenth century, Europe overpowered the Middle East when it comes to mathematical ideas. An Oxford professor, Marcus Du Sautoy traveled to Urbino to show the as the use of mathematics and artist. We were fascinated by the works of Piero della Francesca "The Flagellation of Christ" . Also known as a mathematician and geometer. As of now Piero della Francesca is chiefly appreciated for his art. His painting was characterized by its serene humanism, that uses geometric forms and perspective. He shoes hoe Fermat's theorems becomne the basis for the codes that protect our credit card transactions on the internet.
Du Sautoy tackled René Descartes realization that it was possible to describe curved lines as equations and linked algebra and geometry.His influence to mathematics is the Cartesian coordinate system — to a point in space as a set of numbers, algebraic aexpressions to geometric space system (and conversely, shapes to be described as equations)that was named after him, he is also credited as the father of analytic geometry that lead to the crucial discovery of of infinitesimal calculus and analysis.
He describes Isaac Newton’s development of math and physics crucial to understanding the behavior of moving objects in engineering. Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalized the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, and develop the the roots of a function.
He also covers theLeibniz and Newton calculus controversy .The calculus controversy was an argument between 17th-century mathematicians Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz over who had first invented calculus. It is a question that had been the cause of a major intellectual controversy, one that began simmering in 1699 and broke out in full force in 1711.He showed the great Bernoulli family , that probably overpowered others in terms of both the number of mathematicians it produced and their influence on the development of mathematics. The most outstanding three Bernoulli mathematicians are Jacob I Bernoulli , Johann I Bernoulli , and Daniel Bernoulli , all three of them are one of the most influencial scholars in the history. Their family structure and jealousy toward each other might have fueled their massive contributions to mathematics. Further covers Gauss' invention of a new way of handling equations, modular arithmetic The further contribution of Gauss to our understanding of how prime numbers are distributed that provided the platform for Bernhard Riemann's theories on prime numbers. In addition, Riemann worked on the properties of objects, which he saw as manifolds that could exist in multi-dimensional space.
He also mentioned Leonhard Euler, the father of topology.
The movie is great for math students and aspiring mathematicians, you will be able to appreciate math better than before. Mr. Sautory is a greatly shared his wonderful knowledge to his viewers. I recommend this movie to those people who hates and loves math. I assure you that after viewing this movie your expectations to math will change, it's either you will learn to love math or you will deeply fall in love again with math.
