Difficult: I didn't really find anything difficult about this presentation, because it wasn't really about any concepts in math, just about the history of numbers as an idea. It was a really interesting to think about how numbers and counting came about. The information was very well presented, and everything was explained well so I was able to understand it all.
Reflective: I thought it was really interesting that so many words that we use today that don't even necessarily have much to do with math now came from mathematics, such as the word "stockholder." It was interesting to see how the first form of written language was to record mathematics, and I loved how he related this to everything else that we learn about every day, such as language and business.
