The show was called Infinite Secrets . I caught the last part of it where they talked about a document written by Archimedes that they only recently were able to read and they discovered that he understood some concepts of calculus 2000 years ago. If this document would have been known of earlier, it would have advanced western mathematics greatly. Fascinating stuff.

Who is least math adept?  

I nominate me.  I have broad shoulders, I can take the abuse.  

that's crap! i'm far more ignorant of math than you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) i possess an infinite supply of mathematical ignorance.


HAH! As both a girl and an English major, it's clear that I am the least mathematically inclined person here.
