BBC Radio 4: Mathematics Program Collection
- JonnieCache 16y agoRadio 4 is perhaps Britain's greatest pop-cultural output of the 20th century. Allow me to direct you to the rest of the In Our Time archive, with programmes on Science, Religion, Culture, History and Philosophy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/in-our-time/archive/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/in-our-time/archive/ In particular the recent celebratory 500th edition, on free will, was very interesting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00z5y9z http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00z5y9z
- shii 16y agoThe first series listed - Marcus du Sautoy's A Brief history of Mathematics - if just fantastic. I highly recommend everyone to get all the episodes from the podcast on iTunes. Already knowing some of the history of the mathematicians was not a downer at all; du Sautoy's great way of narrating with the BBC-quality production really makes this a fabulous and interesting series to listen to. As JonnieCache said, Radio 4 is an just such an amazing treasure to be able to experience.
