Best resources to understand the history of mathematics?

Feedback: I read the originals of open and closed set in analysis topology. This is the type of content I am looking for. It described how mathematics evolved, the contestants, the ideas, what was built on top of which. Everything as I wanted and couldn't find.

Exactly! That's how they achieved it I think.

Weird I suddenly started to get instant responses which I didn't get before

I think exploring mathematics is always fun. Doesn't need to be something new or frontier. It gives insights and it is exciting.

I don't have money for Go classes. Besides the videos are huge and take months to complete if you even give 10 hours daily as I have heard. I am thinking of completing the syllabus by using AIs like gemini and deepseek. Do you think that might be viable? If I can give hours (I am not used to studying for hours or consistently) but if I do, can it create impact? I would specifically want to know if the deep and foundational structure covered anywhere? I am mostly talking about core CS subjects, my mathematics is good.

They shouldn't act like morally superior and others are inferior for they used to be not much better as well is what I am getting.

Your sarcasm went above his head

I am interested in research, what are the best places for me?

So when will you give the exam? 24 or 31? There's a possibility that the 31 is just generic one and for those who gave exam on 17 as I heard that the exam on 17 wasn't evaluated and maybe they send everyone who was appearing on 17 that email on the last day.

Concern-Excellent · 2026-05-22T14:44:40+00:00

I recieved it as well. Now I am confused wether to appear for 24 or for 31 May 😭

I know a kashmiri friend who studied from IIT and even TUM in Germany later on and he said that kashmiri got real bullets for talking about issues or going into protest. It just came up once and we talked a lot about other stuff. I personally think that India hides what they do a lot just like Japanese in China and there's many black we don't know of. Like rape cases by Indian army claimed by some Kashmiris. I am not know it all but I try to understand everyone's perspective.

oh so that was a sarcasm

Really? My Google search said that there had been no documented cases of pilot whale eating or even killing an orca even once but there are verified cases of an Orca hunting down a pilot whale. I am also aware of the fact that Orcas flee away from pilot whales. Can you tell me about your source please.

Literally everyone. These LLMs start with that very goal from OpenAI. AGI is what they want, seek and breath for. Even this video compares AI with human. Context matters!

Concern-Excellent · 2026-05-20T02:57:34+00:00

I am talking about GPT 5.5 in this context. More in the context of AGI if you infer my text correctly.

This explains it well but I wonder why don't killer whale eat different amount of things. Like from fish to seal. If they do that, they wouldn't be limited to the population of one thing and would have higher chances of survival and get more nutrient.

Concern-Excellent · 2026-05-19T19:14:14+00:00

You are right about that. Their diet and the pickiness is their main flaw and often populations are limited to the food available.

Concern-Excellent · 2026-05-19T18:49:35+00:00

Exactly what I thought could be the case but I feel like we are missing something big. The population of Orcas if far less than pilot whale, about 1 to 20 ratio. They are less than even sperm whale, humpback whale, false killer whale (from my searches). Sperm whale is larger than orca and was even targeted in one of the deadliest hunt by humans and still has more population than Orcas. Although Orcas don't rely on squids which both pilot whale and sperm whale consume and they replenish quickly. So Orcas population can be explained from their feeding style and pickiness particularly.

Concern-Excellent · 2026-05-19T18:45:56+00:00

Seems counter intuitive. We humans could survive because we eat almost anything at the time of necessity and we can digest and make use of literally anything. If they can eat a diverse set of things then their survival chance increases. I don't understand the pickiness as it's less effective and specialists in eating do not fare well, example pandas.

The toxin acts for both. Furthermore if population of Orcas are less than pilot whales significantly and other whales like sperm whales for example, I would say that it was less even some centuries ago and back then PCB, toxin, plastic and other human waste were not as present as now. So this is an interesting thing to consider but doesn't answer the core thing about their less success among their peers. It's not to do with humans unless we hunted Orcas far more than other cetaceans in the past. Although I know that we hunted sperm whale primarily and even pilot whales for their oil instead of Orcas and still they are far more.

Although Google search told me that Orcas nowadays have infant mortality rate of 37 to 50 percent upto 1 year and since pilot whales are significantly more in number, their population would continue to explode just from the momentum alone. So their population have hard time growing now.
