  • Not my favorite anymore

    This show has gone downhill. Maybe they’ve done episodes on all the interesting theorems or interviewed all the interesting guests they could get.

    And that percussion piece’s welcome wore out long ago. We get it, your kid is musically gifted. Get something relevant or interesting. And short. Nobody wants a long intro/outgrow anymore. Get to the content.

  • Very cool but for audio levels

    Just listening to this podcast for the first time; super cool, and a great premise! I just wish the audio was done with a little more care: in particular, keeping the levels of the speakers the same and mastering to be loud enough. Also it would be helpful to write the name of the theorem into the show notes. Otherwise, I can tell I am going to enjoy listening to this podcast, thanks for doing it!

  • A chill half-an-hour of chatting about math with all kinds of mathematicians. Discussion is not very technical, and every episode only scratches the surface. This is the human side of mathematics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 95 - Kyne Santos
Q: Do you want to talk about how you decided to write it?
I started making videos online to be funny and campy, and realized there was a huge intersection of queer people and math enthusiasts.
Episode 95 - Kyne Santos
Q: So you have a favorite theorem. Why don't you tell us what it is?
My favorite theorem is the fundamental theorem of calculus, which was introduced to me in school as a tool for solving integrals.
Episode 91 - Karen Saxe
Q: How can a mathematician get involved with what's happening in Congress?
They can check the AMS government relations page for various opportunities to engage and learn about legislative policy.
Episode 91 - Karen Saxe
Q: What pairs well with the isoperimetric inequality?
I play tennis a lot, so I'll pair it with tennis as the shape of the ball abides by the theorem.
Episode 91 - Karen Saxe
Q: Can you explain a little more about what your office does?
We communicate to Congress why mathematics is important to everything from national security to healthcare, and advise on funding for research.
