The two Greeκ mathematicians that changed the world of math’s

It is widely accepted that Greeks played a major role in the development of mathematics in ancient times. Although more contemporary Greek mathematicians may not be as famous as Pythagoras, Archimedes and Euclid, their contributions have nevertheless been profound. Dr Anastasios Panagiotelis, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash University, will discuss the lives and achievements of two great Greek mathematicians of the 20th Century, in a lecture he will give at the Greek Centre, Constantin Caratheodory and Nicholas Metropolis. Dr Panagiotelis spoke to Odysseas Kripotos about the contribution of the two mathematicians.
