What a great lecture! Thank you for posting this. Professor Dunham has an amazing talent of driving interest in his topic.
Will he be doing any other lectures?

Thank you for this great talk. I loved math in school and college, and sure wish my teachers had had the time to portrait the people behind all the theory. School mathematics depicts only the final result of theory, not how people came up with it, made mistakes, how amazing the idea was at the time, etc. We take it all for granted and talks like this make it all come to life. Thanks!

@Ciuperciuc he is the final boss of every game ever made

@jayeshsalvi i took many mathematics courses in university, and things like this humanize mathematics. You are 100 percent correct.

If math curriculums were taught with interesting historical facts like this, we will have many more mathematicians

Most entertaining, made my weekend special.

Amazing, speechless.

I point these things out just to point out that different people solve different problems no matter who you are; quantity doesn't necessarilly matter.

Euler started his careers by solving this next logical number series problem.

Leonhard Euler is the final boss of mathematics?

This was an amazing talk. Euler is my favorite mathematician (and person) in history, and Prof. Dunham explained part of his contributions in the most precise, clearest and wittiest way as possible. Despite knowing almost all of these beforehand, i enjoyed it very much. Thank you!
