Maths in Science

Description

Ages ago, a curious Greek called Eratosthenes worked out the Earth’s circumference only using geometry, and came really close! And Copernicus figured that the Sun, not Earth, was the centre of our solar system – later on, the telescope proved him right! Discover the shapes that make things strong, the number system that led to computers, the metric revolution and much more. It’s a whizz!
