Amateur historian here.

The Pythagorean Theorem most likely had it's first time on paper (or clay) in ancient Mesopotamia, where it was seemingly a part of everyday life at the time.

We can find some compelling evidence in the cuniform tablet Plimpton 322, which is essentially an answer card for a teacher after assigning his students problems to solve. It includes trigonometric functions on it, along with other mathematical functions that we can recognise today.

What are your favourite projects that you have worked on?

Because I can totally imagine your voice reading the Harry Potter books lmao

Stephen Fry is awesome, but I think you could do the books justice too.

Firstly thank you for your contributions to society, and your service, for which you underwent some terrible things.

Have you ever considered putting your memories down on paper, to be recorded in the annals of our history? There are scant records of people who were POWs in Russia.
