Debunking myths and legends: Pythagoras, Bhaskara, and Descartes (SciCast #671) (2025x47)
Data di messa in onda: Dic 03, 2025
In this partnership between SciCast and JMCast, we delve into the stories, myths, and misconceptions behind three names that everyone encountered in school: Pythagoras, Bhaskara, and Descartes. From a theorem that isn't exactly "his," to a formula that Brazil named in a unique way, to a philosopher who never drew the Cartesian plane—but changed mathematics forever—we reveal what is legend, what is history, and what really transformed science. If you've always wanted to understand what lies beyond textbooks, this episode is for you.
