In which John Green teaches you about the European Renaissance. European learning changed the world in the 15th and 16th century, but was it a cultural revolution, or an evolution? We'd argue that any cultural shift that occurs over a couple of hundred years isn't too overwhelming to the people who live through it. In retrospect though, the cultural bloom in Europe during this time was pretty impressive. In addition to investigating what caused the Renaissance and who benefitted from the changes that occurred, John will tell you just how the Ninja Turtles got mixed up in all this.

    Archimedes wasn't really "doing calculus". What he was doing was using limit arguments to reach mathematical conclusions. However, his limit arguments were ad hoc and required extraordinary cleverness.

    Calculus on the other hand provided a systematic method for reaching such results.

    The difference is that what Archimedes considered his single greatest mathematical accomplishment is now routinely assigned as a homework problem to high school students.

    That is the power of Calculus.
