just found this channel. Never had a nose for geometry so I really appreciate these high quality explorations of this fundamental text.

Thank you. The goal is to give the picture of the works and pave a path for the proofs to make the traversal of the proofs easier. So hopefully this is a good resource for you.

As a math teacher I’ve often wondered why Tom Lehrer wrote this song about Nikolai Lobachevsky, did he have proof of something? What do we know? ======== Lobachevsky (by Tom Lehrer) ======== Who made me the genius I am today The mathematician that others all quote? Who's the professor that made me that way The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat? One man deserves the credit One man deserves the blame And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name Oy! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach... I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics: Plagiarize Plagiarize! Let no one else's work evade your eyes Remember why the good Lord made your eyes So don't shade your eyes But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize Only be sure always to call it please "research" And ever since I meet this man My life is not the same And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name Oy! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach...

I haven't heard that song, I'll check it out. Here's a quote I found attributed to Lehrer 'The author would like to make it clear that. although Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1793-1856) was a genuine, and indeed eminent, mathematician, the peccadillos attributed to him herein are not substantiated by history.' found at the following website www.plagiarismtoday.com/2020/10/22/plagiarism-in-pop-culture-lobachevsky/ I guess since Lobachevsky figured out hyperbolic geometry concurrently with Bolyai (and Gauss) he had some plagarism questions during his time.

@@colinrubow3493 what’s weird is that I knew Lehrer when I was an undergrad at UC Santa Cruz. One of my heroes (from Harvard no less), turns up at my coastal redwood forest university doing another of my favorite things: musical drama! Life is so weird like that-i.e. serendipitous regression to the mean looks a lot like good karma, blessings from Zeus (or maybe Aphrodite), underlying meaning & design and/or cause and effect!

@@colinrubow3493 Yes, it is! I’m glad I’m subscribed to MWW. I wish I had time to learn Manim (and really master Python). Burkard Polster (Mathologer) says he uses a lot of Keynote animations. I’m huge Geogebra fan & user and fluent enough in Pascal, C, C++ and Java to have taught them (BASIC too). I have not done much Python. My coworker is a big Desmos pusher. (I’m still most excited by pencils, compasses, straight edges and kraft paper.)

Cool... i enjoyed the philosophical discussion... I wonder if at some point you'll draw some analogies or equivalences with hilbert axiomatization of geometry... or how the axioms as we see them today are different from how Euclid wrote them... in any case, it is interesting to see this type of math!

Thank you. A video on that subject would be really cool. Start from Euclid and move up the train through Gauss and Lobachevsky then Reimann and up to what we have today, portrayed as a story. I read a book by Bertrand Russel that might be interesting to feature on the subject but his is now outdated with the addition of Topology. I have a lot more to read before I have enough of a picture to make such a video.
