The joy of mathematics Lecture Transcript and Course Guidebook/ the Teaching Company
This course aims to show how mathematics - from the simplest notions of numbers and counting to the more complex ideas of calculus, imaginary numbers, and infinity - is indeed a great source of joy. This course covers the highlights of the traditional high school mathematics curriculum of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, but it also introduces surprising features of the numbers 9, pi, i, and e; the Fibonacci numbers, and the numbers in Pascal's triangle. Two lectures explore probability and applications to games of chance, and the course concludes with a lecture on the joy of mathematical magic
