Video day: You're getting math in my history!

(Because I managed to forget that Friday was Friday once again, you get a video this morning. Happy Monday!) 

Did you know that a number of historical patterns, unfolding over centuries and across the globe, fit into mathematical patterns? I knew a few of these, but not all of them, and I find the ideas of the underlying patterns and structures fascinating.

In six minutes, learn about how math reveals and explains trends in the size and frequency of wars, the changes in the English language, or the focus on a particular idea, trend, or event.
