パンサー尾形貴弘が数学の難問を大真面目に解説する「笑わない数学」。テーマは「非ユークリッド幾何学」。図形の分野で数学者が始めた奇妙な空想が数学に大革命を起こす！
古代ギリシャ時代、あのユークリッド幾何学が誕生した。どんな図形の性質も、たった５つの当たり前の事実、すなわち「公理」から導かれるという偉大な学問だ。その後２千年間、幾何学は完全無欠の絶対真理と信じられてきた。しかし１９世紀、その地位は突然揺らぎだす。２千年の常識を疑う天才数学者たちの奇妙な空想と、それがもたらした知の世界の大変革。学校では教わらない「非ユークリッド幾何学」のドラマに迫る。
"Mathematics without laughing" in which Takahiro Ogata explains the difficult problems of mathematics seriously. The theme is "non-Euclidean geometry." Strange fantasies started by mathematicians in the field of shapes, and they revolutionize mathematics!
In ancient Greece, Euclidean geometry was born. The nature of any figure is a great learning to be derived from only five common facts, namely, axioms. For the next two thousand years, geometry was believed to be a perfect absolute truth. But in the 19th century, its status suddenly faltered. The strange fantasies of genius mathematicians who doubt the common sense of two thousand years, and the great transformation of the world of knowledge brought about. We approach the drama of "non-Euclidean geometry" that is not taught at school.
