[Maths-Education] The Zero Project / public outreach

[Ernest, Paul]

A very interesting project exploring the origins and significance of Zero is resulting in scholarly presentations first on the ZerOrigIndia site and then on YouTube. The presentations are only about 15 mins long followed by a small discussion. My own presentation is the second in Session #1 Nought Matters: The History and Philosophy of Zero.

Future participants include George G Joseph, Beatrice Lumpkin and Brian Rotman and a host of other historians of mathematics and other experts

Dear Friends,

Meanwhile the joint promotional video produced by Dr Robert Lawrence Kuhn in collaboration with the Zero Project has also come online and is posted on our website as well: (www.TheZeroProject.nl<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thezeroproject.nl%2F&data=04%7C01%7CP.Ernest%40exeter.ac.uk%7Cef8056e9a66540f8c8a908d98e20e345%7C912a5d77fb984eeeaf321334d8f04a53%7C0%7C0%7C637697094170641573%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=bWAwIVTmqtz6RmVw35aNMXSMZYZ%2FR5%2Bqs8sscT3aaMw%3D&reserved=0>).
