Merton College, Oxford - Henry Briggs

Henry Briggs was the first Savilian Professor of Geometry at Merton College, Oxford (1619-1630). He is buried in Merton's chapel. This video covers a bit about the life and work of Briggs, including his time at Gresham College and also a mentiond of his collaboration with John Napier. Dozens of pictures of Merton's beautiful campus are included, a campus which seems not to have changed in 400 years. Visiting there was like traveling in time, in the best possible way.
