Been watching some of the achievements of many ancient civilizations. Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Inca, Mayans amongst many others Fascinating stuff. All the wonderful things they came to know and did! India had been practicing advanced mathematics, astronomy, astrology and abstract mathematics much before any European civilization. With colonization of India most of its intellectual property got undermined and re-attributed to European scholars. This is just one of the many many I have been watching- a video about the value of pie. it is fascinating.[url]Science of mathematics in Ancient India - YouTube[/url]

A couple of books I've read contain some interesting history on mathematics, and they're also good reads on their topics too...

Zero : The Biography of a Dangerous Idea - by Charles Seife
Fermat's Last Theorem - by Simon Singh
