In this episode, I travel back nearly 1,800 years to meet Diophantus of Alexandria and explore how his approach to mathematics still shapes modern problem-solving, from Fermat's Last Theorem to today's AI-assisted research. Along the way, we discover why the real value of mathematics isn't finding answers. it's learning how to think. ๐ŸŒ Website: https://www.MathScienceHistory.com โ˜• Support the show: https://paypal.com/ncp/payment/PR7F7ST49GDNA โ€ข Discover why Diophantus is considered one of history's most influential mathematicians. โ€ข Learn how his work inspired Fermat's Last Theorem centuries later. โ€ข Explore whether AI is changing mathematics. or simply giving mathematicians better tools.
