So whether it's GPS and Dr. Gladys West, who did the maths on the geostatic satellites, whether it's Hedy Lamarr, who was a Hollywood actress and was an incredibly keen physicist and ended up co-inventing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, Catherine Johnson, who was a mathematician in the 1960s at NASA, did the maths by hand on early space travel or space flights.

And in fact, it wasn't until two years later when Herman Minkowski, who was a mathematician, who had been one of Einstein's professors, said, you know, the right way to think about Einstein's theory is to say that space and time aren't separate anymore.
All you have to do is entirely rejigger your thoughts about what space and time are."

If you ask a mathematician what this symbol means, he'll say, that's pi, it's the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
If you ask a mathematician what this symbol means, he'll say, "That's π.
I would like to understand how this model works?" There's this great quote, uh, great German mathematician Georg Cantor, uh, said, "The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom." But I would a-augment this with the following, where there is no mathematics, there is no freedom.
There's this great quote by a great German mathematician Georg Cantor, said "The essence
So you're the mathematician.

another German mathematician named Hermann Minkowski, who pointed out that Einstein's theory could be thought of as a theory of a single, four-dimensional spacetime.
And Einstein, when he first heard this idea, said, "Well, that's just a mathematician talking.
