      I mean... these questions don't necessarily show that she's really approached the topic in good faith But they aren't bad questions Lockhart's Lament mentions that he thinks History of Mathematics should be much more integral to the subject, like art history is to arthttps://twitter.com/KEBrightbill/status/1298748464910815233 …

      The question of "What exactly was Pythagoras trying to do with his life? What made him choose to try to answer the questions he was answering?" is a *good question* And it's one whose answer is a lot more complex and weird than most of us today would assume!

          It had a lot more to do with what we'd think of as religion and art than what we'd think of as "practical" concerns of science and engineering! (Although the ancient Greeks really didn't see them as separate the way we do now)

          I have a few of these "history of mathematics" books because, well, so there's this famous economist who wrote the textbook used in Harvard named George Stigler and his *son* is named Stephen Stigler and he writes all these cool histories about statistics

          and so yeah I have a few other history of math books as well and they absolutely answer this young woman's questions and it is TOTALLY interesting! Brits were trying to conquer the world by boat and they needed to navigate so they needed math to navigate by the stars

          I love the @numberphile videos for this reason. Sometimes, the ancients were trying to figure out how to make a square, and sometimes, they were trying to prove that radical 2 was a rational number because of their religion.

          we don't even know if the Pythagorean theorem was really deduced by Pythagoras or if it was attributed to him when one of his followers came up with it Which, I guess, makes him not totally dissimilar to Steve Jobs
