Status Updates From An Introduction to the Hist...

I am finishing my time reading this book through, as it is still perplexing me further. I have finished reading on the development of ever increasingly accurate values for pi until modern times.

Still quite dull, but I have just reached a new chapter. It is currently going over briefly the history of diplomatic and combative affairs of Greece with neighboring nations, especially the war with the Persian empire.

The book at this point currently discusses the feats of the Pythagoreans. Most recently that I recall, they discovered the existence of highly controversial (and nowadays trivial) irrational numbers. I have begun to lost interest, though, as a lot of this book transcends my understanding.
