Ah, my dear students, unfortunately, in my time there were no cameras, quindi non ci sono foto di me. However, I can describe how I might have looked according to contemporary depictions. I am depicted as a middle-aged man with a long beard, dressed in traditional attire of those times, usually in a long tunic and cloak. I might have worn a cap or a scarf on my head. My appearance reflected a scholar of the medieval period, immerso nelle sue studi e scritture. Of course, your imagination may vary, but the most important are my mathematical works and contributions to the development of science, not how I looked. I am happy to answer any questions about my work and achievements! | |

Ah, sono felice che lo chiediate! My greatest achievements are related to my work on introducing the numerical system we now call the Arabic numeral system to Europe, and of course, my famous Fibonacci sequence. Let me tell you more about them: 1. “Liber Abaci” (The Book of Calculation)– In 1202, I wrote “Liber Abaci” or “The Book of Calculation”. In this work, I introduced the Arabic numerals (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and the decimal system, which are much easier to use than Roman numerals. This revolutionized mathematics in Europe! 2. The Fibonacci Sequence– My famous sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, \ldots, was first described in “Liber Abaci” in the context of a problem related to rabbit reproduction. 3. The Golden Ratio– The Fibonacci sequence is closely related to the golden ratio (\phi), which is approximately 1.618. The further along the sequence, the closer the ratio of successive terms approaches the golden ratio. 4. Solving Commercial Problems– In my book, I also described how to use new methods to solve commercial problems, such as calculating profits and losses, converting currencies, and calculating percentages. These methods were very practical and useful for merchants and traders. 5. Introduction of Algorithms– In my works, one can find early examples of algorithms, which are the foundation of modern computer science. I described methods for solving equations and calculating square roots, which can be considered precursors to today’s algorithms. These are just some of my achievements. I am glad that my works have had such a significant impact on the development of mathematics and science in general. Prego, if you have more questions, feel free to ask! | |

Ah, i tempi erano molto diversi da oggi! I lived at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, specifically between about 1170 and 1250. It was the Middle Ages, a time when Europe was undergoing many changes, both social and cultural. My Time and Place:– Birth: I was born around 1170 in Pisa, Italy. Pisa was an important trading city at the time, which had a significant impact on my life and work. My Works:– “Liber Abaci” (1202): My most important work, in which I introduced Arabic numerals and the decimal system to Europe, as well as many practical calculation methods. This work was groundbreaking and had a huge impact on mathematics and commerce. The Middle Ages:– Culture: It was a time of intense cultural changes, with influences from various parts of the world, including Arab countries, India, and China. My travels and studies in these places allowed me to introduce new ideas to Europe. Life in my times was full of challenges but also incredible opportunities.

Ah, capisco le vostre preoccupazioni! Indeed, the Middle Ages were a time of intense change, including religious and social tensions. However, science and mathematics had their place and were valued, especially for practical applications in trade, construction, and navigation. Some facts about science in the Middle Ages:1. Monasteries and Universities: 2. Patronage: 3. Arab Influences: Was I in danger?My work focused mainly on the practical aspects of mathematics, such as the decimal system, fractions, and commercial calculations, which were very useful and well-received. Mathematics was a tool that helped in everyday life, not seen as a threat. Of course, there were times when knowledge and innovative ideas could be controversial, but my work aimed primarily at improving daily life and trade. Perhaps that’s why I managed to avoid major conflicts. If you have more questions about my work or life in the Middle Ages, I am happy to answer! | |

Ah, carissimi studenti, I understand your doubts and I’m glad you asked! Allow me to answer honestly. The sequence we call the Fibonacci sequence today was indeed described by me in my book “Liber Abaci” in 1202. In the chapter concerning the problem of rabbit breeding under ideal conditions, I presented this sequence as a way to solve this particular problem. History of the sequence:– Liber Abaci: In my book, I described the problem leading to the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, \ldots. I didn’t give this sequence a special name; I simply used it to illustrate problem-solving. My Contribution:– My greatest achievement was introducing this sequence to Europe and showing its practical application in “Liber Abaci.” Thanks to my work, this sequence became known and widely used. Did I invent the sequence?– No, I did not invent this sequence first, but I was certainly the first to describe it in the context of European mathematics and introduce it to broader use. I hope this explanation is sufficient. I am proud to have contributed to the development of mathematics, and I am glad my works are still valued and studied. If you have any more questions, I am at your disposal! | |

Mathematical sequences, both arithmetic and geometric, have wide applications in many fields and can be very useful in various careers and life situations. Here are some examples of how sequences can be useful: 1. Finance and Investment–Savings Planning: Arithmetic sequences can be used for planning regular savings. For example, if you save a fixed amount of money each month, you can calculate how much you will save over a certain period. 2. Computer Science–Algorithms and Data Structures: In computer science, sequences are used to create and analyze algorithms. For example, Fibonacci sequences are used in sorting and searching algorithms. 3. Engineering and Natural Sciences–Signal Analysis: Engineers often use sequences to analyze signals in telecommunication and audio systems. 4. Architecture and Art–Golden Ratio: The Fibonacci sequence and the related golden ratio are used in architecture and art to create aesthetically pleasing proportions. 5. Biology–Population Growth: Sequences are used to model the population growth of organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. 6. Management and Planning–Schedules and Budgets: Arithmetic sequences can be used to plan schedules and budgets. For example, if you regularly increase your spending or savings, you can use sequences to forecast future values. 7. Problem-Solving and Analytical Thinking–Mathematical Skills: Working with sequences develops logical thinking and analytical skills, which are useful in many professions and life situations. SummaryMathematical sequences are fundamental to many fields and have wide applications in daily life, science, and work. Knowledge of sequences and the ability to apply them can open many doors and help in career development in various areas. | |

Translate the text below into English: “Wielkie twierdzenie Fermata – twierdzenie teorii liczb, które brzmi: dla liczby naturalnej 𝑛>2 nie istnieją takie liczby naturalne dodatnie 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, które spełniałyby równanie 𝑥^n+𝑦^n=𝑧^𝑛 Równanie to jest znane jako równanie Fermata. Pierre de Fermat zanotował to twierdzenie na marginesie łacińskiego tłumaczenia książki Arithmetica Diofantosa i opatrzył następującą uwagą: znalazłem zaiste zadziwiający dowód tego twierdzenia. Niestety, margines jest zbyt mały, by go pomieścić, lub w innej wersji: Jest niemożliwe rozłożyć sześcian na dwa sześciany, czwartą potęgę na dwie czwarte potęgi i ogólnie potęgę wyższą niż druga na dwie takie potęgi; znalazłem naprawdę zadziwiający dowód tego, jednak margines jest za mały, by go pomieścić.”Copy | |

Fermat’s Last Theorem – a number theory theorem which states:For any natural number n > 2 , there are no positive natural numbers x , y , and z that satisfy the equation x^n + y^n = z^nThis equation is known as Fermat’s equation. Pierre de Fermat noted this theorem in the margin of his Latin translation of the book *Arithmetica* by Diophantus and added the following remark: “I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this proposition, which this margin is too narrow to contain.” Or in another version: “It is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, a fourth power into two fourth powers, and in general, any power higher than the second into two like powers. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which, however, the margin is too narrow to contain.” | |
Finding the transcription of a YouTube video is not difficult. Just turn on subtitles, find and click on “Show transcript” in the description, and then copy the transcript text to the clipboard.
Chat GPT will translate the transcript into your language.
As an example, I used a short lecture video from YouTube.
