Nicolas Bourbaki
Episodio en A Brief History of Mathematics
This ten part history of mathematics from Newton to the present day, reveals the personalities behind the calculations: the ions and rivalries of mathematicians struggling to get their ideas heard. Professor Marcus du Sautoy shows how these masters of abstraction find a role in the real world and proves that mathematics is the driving force behind modern science. Today, the mathematician that never was, Nicolas Bourbaki. A group of French mathematicians, working between the two world wars and writing under the pseudonym Nicolas Bourbaki transformed their discipline and paved the way for several mathematical breakthroughs in the 21st century. Producer: Anna Buckley.

Professor Marcus du Sautoy shows how these masters of abstraction find a role in the real world and proves that mathematics is the driving force behind modern science. It was the German scientist and mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gauss, who said mathematics was the Queen of Science. One of his many mathematical breakthroughs, the Gaussian or normal distribution, is the lifeblood of statistics. It underpins modern medicine and is a valuable tool in the fight against prejudice. Producer: Anna Buckley.

Documentales Sonoros Este podcast está pensado para las personas como yo, que nuestros ojos ya no nos permiten ver lo que uno desea o le interesa y tienen curiosidad de aprender y conocer, también para aquellas que constantemente están fuera de casa por su trabajo o viajan asiduamente y aquellos que se desplazan en metro, en autobús o en cualquier otro medio porque su trabajo así lo requiere. Todos son Audios de documentales. Todo mi trabajo está realizado de manera altruista y no busco ninguna compensación, solo la satisfacción de saber que ayudo a otras personas. Un gran abrazo a tod@s.
