Latest Episodes

In this episode, we discuss we consider the periodic table as a metaphor for certain mathematical structures, and we discuss the extent to which various theorems or research fit or don't fit into that paradigm.

We welcome math professor (and our close friend) Tony Várilly-Alvarado as guest. We ask: "What is the most valuable theorem that you cover in [various courses]?" We cover second semester calculus, linear algebra, graduate algebra, and graduate number... more

In this episode, we discuss aspects of doing like what makes for a good research problem, what to do when you're stuck, and how to avoid proving false things.

In this episode, we discuss some of the best advice we've received, and how it shaped our research.

In this episode, we explore how various modern research topics in algebra and number theory stem from the fundamental desire to understand solutions to polynomial equations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mathing

What is Mathing about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two mathematicians run a thoughtful, accessibility-minded discussion about how research and teaching intersect with core mathematical ideas. Across episodes they explore how solving equations shifts when viewed as understanding structures, the act of doing research from problem selection to collaboration and proof verification, and how foundational theorems and canonical decompositions shape intuition and pedagogy. The conversations blend deep math with practical, classroom-ready insights, personal anecdotes, and humor, often tying abstract concepts to computation, teaching, and real-world problem-solving. A notable strength is the duo's ability to connect high-level theory (from Galois theory and Langlands to Hilbert's Nullstellensatz and ... more
