“Brilliantly made, constantly fascinating.”

4 x 60’, BBC4

In this landmark series Marcus du Sautoy travels the globe to explore the history of mathematics and how mathematical ideas underpin the science, technology, and culture that shape our world. Maths is fundamental to our lives. Without it, there’s no architecture, no commerce, no accurate maps or timekeeping, therefore no navigation, aviation or astronomy.

“A fascinating four-parter.”

The Guardian

“There’s a lot to like about this breezy history.”

The Independent
