Science! History!_ Paul Tannery didn't begin his career intending to become one of the most influential historians of mathematics. He trained as an engineer at the École Polytechnique and spent much of his professional life working in France's state tobacco administration. But after work, Tannery pursued a very different passion: ancient mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and the history of science. What began as… [Listen](https://pdcn.co/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/mathsciencehistory/E227_Paul_Tannery_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=1533227) ## [MOMENTUM! Solve Your Relationship Equations](https://mathsciencehistory.libsyn.com/momentum-solve-your-relationship-equations) _2026-08-10 · Math! Science!
