A Brief History of Alan Turing (Imitation Game)
In this episode, we cover the history of Alan Turing, A 20th-century English polymath, who is considered by many to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Turing was a pivotal codebreaking figure during WWII, and due to this, much of his cryptologic was unknown to the public until 2012.

NOTE: The intro screen says Lagrange, but this is indeed Cauchy! In this episode, we cover the history of Augustin-Louis Cauchy, a 19th century French mathematician, engineer, and physicist who was notable for developing a great majority of the foundations of complex analysis, and is only second to Euler in terms of mathematical productivity.

In this episode, we cover the history of the complex plane, the geometric representation of complex numbers. With many applications to areas like physics and probability, complex numbers show up quite often, and can also simplify seemingly impossible calculations. Though intuitive to us at this point, it took over 1000 years from the first sighting of a complex number to actually be accepted an...

    Its strange that Euler, who came up with the famous identity Z = a(cos(thi) + i sin (thi)) did not think of the complex plane, because the formula seems to indicate a triangle.

    There is an inaccuracy in your presentation. For Godel's incompleteness theorem only applies to axiomatic systems that contain natural number theory, or Peano's axioms. Hilbert had already shown that Euclidean geometry was complete.

    Bertrand Russell was not a "full-blown atheist". He had the same disdain for what we think of as atheist today, that Albert Einstein had and that I happen to also have. He, like Einstein and myself, recognized that a positive belief in the non-existence of things outside nature is irrational and impossible to confirm. It ends up being belief, not knowledge. Which frankly makes it a kind of religion for the hard atheists. He, like Einstein and myself again, preferred the term agnostic.

    Well, actually he was Italian, born in Turin in 1736, he became french after marring a French woman in 1792 at the age of 56. He used french names (more than one, for example "De la Grange" that he abandoned during french revolution because nobles had the tendency to die guillottined in that period). His birth name was Giuseppe Luigi Lagrangia.
