Alexander Hamilton was a U.S founding father who has been growing in popularity due to the popular musical Hamilton, by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

He is featured on the US Ten Dollar Bill and is one of the most famous Founding Fathers who never held elected office.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Fra Mauro Medieval World Map

Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world. 

It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before. 

It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography. 

Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand. 

Learn more about the Fra Mauro map, how it was created, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Tim Harford speaks to Carter to understand how he calculated his figures and what they really mean.
