Mathematics Hall of Fame

The Mathematics Hall of Fame is a series of podcasts about the life and times of eight famous mathematicians. These podcasts will be delivered over the course of eight weeks - the length of my Algebra 1A course. The mathematicians that we'll look at are: Rene Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Carl Gauss, Sir Isaac Newton, Euclid, Archimedes, Leonhard Euler, and Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann.

The first episode features information about Rene Desacartes who is credited for developing Analytic Geometry which we use today every time we graph an equation on the 2-D Cartesian Coordinate system.
