Episode 3 - Eureka! The Mathematics of the Hellenistic Age - Part 1

In this episode, we continue our journey through the history of ancient Greece into the Hellenistic Age. We start with a history lesson about Alexander the Great and his military campaign that spread Greek influence and culture across most the ancient world. After his death, Greece would experience its golden age, known as the Hellenistic Period. During this period, Greek mathematicians laid the foundation for modern mathematics and utilized the mathematical principles they developed to create new inventions and gain a better understanding of their world.

In this first episode of a two part series, I discuss Alexander the Great's conquests and the intellectual contributions of Euclid and Archimedes.
