Measure like an Egyptian │ The History of Mathematics with Luc de Brabandère

How did the ancient Egyptians measure the #earth? Some 4000 years ago - and without any of our modern equipment.

Find out how applying basic logic to the rays of the Sun gave birth to geometry.

Philosopher Luc de Branbandère guides us through the history of mathematics, from Egyptians measuring with the Sun to modern algorithms for self-driving cars.
