I just found this; so, I'll reserve comment for now! So far, it's the best mathematics video I've seen since "Not Knot"!
-------------------------------------------------Jun15, 2012 edit---------------------------------------------------
This video concentrates on the story of mathematics from the logic viewpoint - Greek deductive reasoning to Frege, Bertrand Russel and then Godel. This is by no means everything that can be said about deductive logic; the video doesn't even mention George Boole. Still, they point out some other mathematics other than just deductive logic; for the most part, it presents as much of the story of mathematics in one hour from the progress of deductive logic viewpoint. Not a bad choice; and, the video is better than most I've seen.
A major point I'd point out that mathematicians for one don't like to point out is that the nature and origin of mathematics is not a settled issue; this is part of what I've made this blog for. It proves Jacob Bronowski's viewpoint from a James Burkian concrete example.
