Picking up where we left off from the last episode, Harry joins Rafe to discuss further the Mathematics Genealogy Project and how one can show, for example, that Rafe is related to Nicolas Copernicus. Along the way, Euler and the number e are discussed further, we pick up tips on tessellations, and we wonder how things would have been different had Liebniz's father had not married his third wife or if Steinhaus had not successfully hid from the Nazis in Poland during WWII.
Learning your history is a most humbling experience but it provides you with an opportunity to contemplate what might have been, to make the most of how things actually are, to show eternal gratitude for those who blazed trails before us, and to show similar Grace to those who follow us.
