Following on from last year, this series of lectures traces the historical development of mathematics in the thousand years from Islamic Baghdad.
With the invention of printing, mathematical writings became widely available for the first time. What influence did this have? We discuss this question in the context of 16th-century navigation and astronomy, the solving of equations, and some breakthroughs in geometry and algebra, and ask: is this a record?
