This week we take an exhaustive look at the mathematician that invented calculus... arguably. We can certainly have that argument. So let us enjoy the good life, by taking pleasure in the pursuit of knowledge with Eudoxus.

Today we introduce the titular character from Plato's 7th greatest dialogue and discover the contributions he made to the 'Platonic' solids and more.

This episode is modelled on the the form of the good, or at least the good podcast. Step out from the shadows of your caves and enjoy a dialogue on Plato. Sadly, there is nothing in this episode that you didn't already know, from before you were born - but perhaps I can help you to recollect it.

In today's episode we have a special treat as I sit down with Professor Peter Adamson to ask all of the questions that have been brewing over the past 10 weeks. Be prepared for significantly more expertise from a professional of philosophy and a podcast ledged himself.

You can find Peter's work at: https://historyofphilosophy.net/ , and I highly recommend that you do.

Today we learn about the man who invented the wooden pigeon, along with some slightly more serious contributions. We've learnt already about how the Pythagoreans thought everything was made up of numbers, now it is time to meet the guy that said 'Well why don't we use numbers to describe stuff then?'

Today I plan to share with you the smallest possible unit of information, and I will do this an infinite number of times. Are we talking about the introduction of calculus? A theory of atoms? Both? Who can say, well hopefully I can in this episode.

This week we explore beauty, in the form of some more very old maths. Theodorus, one of the leading figures in the Pythagorean movement, will move you to joy, I am sure.

This week, let me draw you into a story about an ancient curve-ist, as we meet the first non-circular curve that is formally defined - and the mand who first drew it.
