Well … I'm happy to say that I finally got through to the end of this series, and I'm also happy to announce that indeed, Nicolas Bourbaki, DOES get a mention … in the very last episode !
What a great series … and what a bunch of towering giants these guys were!
I would have to say, that had they not pursued their passion for mathematics, our present day views of the infinite, what's possible and what's not, would remain completely unknown, and I seriously doubt whether any of us would have any chance of separating reality from delusion, when peering through a telescope.
A simply superb series.
Cheers
