    Wonderful and captivating lecture on the Story of Calculus. Interesting to learn how Calculus grew out of the principle of infinitely small divisions and Geometry especially the geometry of curved spaces and how it depicts reality especially any kind of change in location or motion. Whets our apetite to learn more on Fourier Transformation ( Helped in unravelling the structure of DNA), Vector Calculus ( On light and Maxwell's equations) , Differential equations ( innumerable phenomena) and other applications of calculus in Pi, Graphics, Surgery , Sports, etc..The Q &A session - not to be missed. Excellent questions and great answers by Steven Strogatz.
