TED-Ed: The greatest mathematician that never lived | Pratik Aghor

Nicolas Bourbaki, a fictional mathematician, was created by a group of French mathematicians in the 1930s to unify mathematics. They published influential works under this pseudonym, revolutionizing the field with a systematic approach to abstract principles. Their work included defining functions and establishing logical frameworks. Despite being a prank, Bourbaki's legacy continues to influence modern mathematics, emphasizing formal proofs and rigorous methods.
