Great episode. I am glad that you were able to get the perspective of an actual professor who has direct experience with the ramifications of these decisions. Not everyone can play professional sports so why is it so difficult to understand that not everyone can be a high level mathematician? It’s the same thing.
It is lowkey great to listen to in the background while doing things and stuff. :P
Enjoy listening to intelligent people discuss their passions but discouraged by lack of concern about the energy used to find prime numbers and the impact on everyone else’s environment - just to have fun and get bragging rights.
I barely passed business calc and stats at a State school, but love math. Thanks for making this content available to everyone!
It's interesting listening to this episode some years after the event, with Covid 19 in the rear window, or rather we try to think it's gone when it's actively hanging around.

The emphasis is as much on people and how they think as on technical explanations. Guests range from leading academic mathematicians to educators and creators, sharing personal stories alongside insights into their fields. The accessible, curious interview style suits listeners who enjoy mathematics and science whether or n... more
