| 6/11/25 | Episode 25 - Philo of Byzantium - | Grab your ventriloquist dummies and your gimbles, as we catapult ourselves into a story about the worlds first mathematical engineer. If you thought Leonardo Da Vinci was pretty metal, well you're about to meet the 'wood and papyrus' version. It's Philo of Byzantium. In an exciting new segment of the 'Episode Show Notes', may I present an unappealing list of hashtags for the Search Engine Optimisation: #MathHistory #MathsHistory#AncientMath #AncientMaths#PhiloOfByzantium#GreekMathematics#HistoryOfMath #HistoryOfMaths#AncientScience#EngineeringHistory#ByzantineScience#MathematicalHeritage#SciencePodcast#MathPodcast #MathsPodcast#AncientEngineers#PhiloTheEngineer#MechanicsHistory#HellenisticScience#InventionHistory#MathAndMachines #MathsAndMachines#GreekInventors#MathematicsThroughTime#FromPhiloToPhysics The music was: "Danse Macabre - Finale"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ | 21m 46s | ||||||
| 6/4/25 | Episode 24 -Archimedes of Syracuse | In this week's episode we look at the life an works of the Great Archimedes. A man who was so much more than what we all think, and we all think quite highly of him. But let's look behind the claw, the screw and the lever and find out who was the mathematician behind the engineer.

| 5/28/25 | Episode 23 - Aristarchus of Samos - Got The Measure of Things | This week we look at a man who looked at the moon whilst it looked at the sun and thought: "Gosh, that looks far away". But how far away is the sun, really. Or the better question would be: "How far away are we?" Let's find out as we measure the life and works of Aristarchus of Samos. The second greatest Samos-ian that we have covered so far.
