This year, February 28 is not the last day of the month! Happy Leap Year! If you aren't familiar with the origins of Leap Year, have I got a story for you!! I also explain how Leap Year is organized!  If you are interested in reading stories about the history of math and science, please feel free to visit me at my blog at www.MathScienceHistory.com !  Thank you so much for listening! Until next week, carpe diem!  Gabrielle Birchak

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE, it destroyed yet preserved the ancient world of Herculaneum, along with the Villa de Papyri. In 1752, excavators discovered almost 1,800 scrolls, that today we are finally able to "unwrap" and read thanks to Artificial Intelligence. You can find more video, images, and more details about these ancient papyri at my Website www.MathScienceHistory.com   Thanks for listening! - Gabrielle Birchak

Euclid's Elements is considered one of the most foundational bodies of work in the field of mathematics. Written around 300 BCE (over 2,000 YEARS AGO!), it was a textbook that provided students the opportunity to learn most of the theories and propositions written at that time. However, even though it was groundbreaking, there was already a history of math that preceded this book, as you will find out. If you are interested in learning more about the history of math and science, please feel free to visit me at my website, www.mathsciencehistory.com! Until next week, carpe diem! Gabrielle Birchak 

Happy 11-11! t's Nigel Tufnel Day! If you've seen Spinal Tap, you know that D-minor is the saddest of all keys. You also know that Nigel didn't know the difference between inches and feet, much like the ancient Delians didn't know the difference between length and volume. The Delian Problem, also known as Doubling the Cube, provides a problem that is impossible to solve. This fun problem is definitely worth tackling and learning more about! If you want to learn more about the Delian Problem, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com where I provide links to a more thorough explanation, as well as to the infamous Stonehenge scene that I'm talking about.  Until next week, Happy Nigel Tufnel Day! Thanks for listening! - Gabrielle Birchak

If you think that you need a telescope to enjoy our gorgeous November night skies, think again! In 300 BCE Hipparchus invented the astrolabe. It was an all-purpose handy tool used to find the constellations in the night sky, as well as to measure rivers and buildings.  If you are interested in learning more about the astrolabe, please come visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com. I'll have links to resources that can even assist you in building your own astrolabe! Thanks for listening! - Gabrielle Birchak

On October 29, 1969 two letters were sent from UCLA to Stanford, and Lo! The Internet was Born! From there, the information freeway evolved into a speedway, and now, here we are! Downloading podcasts, watching movies, watching cat videos!  If you are interested in reading about its history and seeing photos of 3420 Boelter Hall, where it all began, come visit me at www.mathsciencehistory.com !  Thanks for listening!  Gabrielle Birchak

John Dalton helped to usher in atomic research. Our current subatomic research has evolved from his very beginnings when he began to identify his elemental theories in chemical reactions in his first five elements. These five simple notations opened up a whole world of elemental calculations for future generations to discover.  If you are interested in reading more about his work and theories, you can visit my blog at https://www.mathsciencehistory.com  Thanks for listening!  - Gabrielle Birchak
