Boa noite, gostaria de rece­ber mais arti­gos vos­sos sobre matemáti­ca.

I am very impressed! Thank you so much!!!

I real­ly enjoyed the video and the con­nec­tions made with­in the realm of math.

I did notice an error about the ear­li­est note of “zero.” Here’s a ref­er­ence for the Maya who lived in Cen­tral Amer­i­ca

“…Per­haps we should note at this point that there was anoth­er civil­i­sa­tion which devel­oped a place-val­ue num­ber sys­tem with a zero. This was the Maya peo­ple who lived in cen­tral Amer­i­ca, occu­py­ing the area which today is south­ern Mex­i­co, Guatemala, and north­ern Belize. This was an old civil­i­sa­tion but flour­ished par­tic­u­lar­ly between 250 and 900. We know that by 665 they used a place-val­ue num­ber sys­tem to base 20 with a sym­bol for zero. How­ev­er their use of zero goes back fur­ther than this and was in use before they intro­duced the place-val­ued num­ber sys­tem. This is a remark­able achieve­ment but sad­ly did not influ­ence oth­er peo­ples.”

“Almost cer­tain­ly the rea­son for base 20 arose from ancient peo­ple who count­ed on both their fin­gers and their toes. Although it was a base 20 sys­tem, called a viges­i­mal sys­tem, one can see how five plays a major role, again clear­ly relat­ing to five fin­gers and toes. In fact it is worth not­ing that although the sys­tem is base 20 it only has three num­ber sym­bols (per­haps the unit sym­bol aris­ing from a peb­ble and the line sym­bol from a stick used in count­ing). Often peo­ple say how impos­si­ble it would be to have a num­ber sys­tem to a large base since it would involve remem­ber­ing so many spe­cial sym­bols. This shows how peo­ple are con­di­tioned by the sys­tem they use and can only see vari­ants of the num­ber sys­tem in close anal­o­gy with the one with which they are famil­iar. Sur­pris­ing and advanced fea­tures of the Mayan num­ber sys­tem are the zero, denot­ed by a shell for rea­sons we can­not explain, and the posi­tion­al nature of the sys­tem. How­ev­er, the sys­tem was not a tru­ly posi­tion­al sys­tem as we shall now explain…”

Thank you for time and inter­est.

This is impres­sive. Thanks for mak­ing a good overview of math­e­mat­ics uni­verse.
