YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We've cut together our 3-part series on the etymology of "Average" from 2017 into one full-length episode. This takes us from the history of maritime insurance and its connection to Islamic science to the origins of coffee, from the development of the mathematics of probability, early astronomy, to the first property insurance, and from the development of statistics to the first life insurance, and Beowulf!
