Episode 92 - Kate Stange

lundi 10 juin 2024 • Duration 29:37

Kate Stange is a number theorist who loves quadratic forms (and who doesn't, really). Her favorite theorem is the bijection between them and ideal classes. Also chocolate.

Episode 91 - Karen Saxe

mercredi 3 avril 2024 • Duration 34:17

Karen Saxe is an analyst who spends her days representing mathematics on Capitol Hill. She really likes the isoperimetric inequality and its many uses. Also tennis.

Episode 82 - Juliette Bruce

vendredi 30 décembre 2022 • Duration 29:20

Juliette Bruce is an algebraic geometer who loves to think about embedding curves in projective space. Also mountaineering.

Episode 81 - Christopher Danielson

samedi 26 novembre 2022 • Duration 33:13

Technically this is a theorem, but it seems so obvious that it's unclear that it needs a proof. In this episode Christopher Danielson points out that polygons have same number of sides as vertices. Many shapes make an appearance.

Episode 80 - Kimberly Ayers

vendredi 21 octobre 2022 • Duration 33:56

Kimberly Ayers likes dynamics and so obvs her fave theorem is Sharkovskii's result that "period 3 implies chaos." Also taffy.

Episode 79 - Philip Ording

jeudi 15 septembre 2022 • Duration 34:32

Philip Ording wrote a cool book (you should check it out) and he likes the Erlangen Program. Not really a theorem, but we're not purists around here.

Episode 78 - Daina Taimina

jeudi 11 août 2022 • Duration 27:40

Daina Taimina is famous for her adventures in mathematical crocheting, but her favorite theorem comes from Desargues. She also likes to travel.

Episode 77 - Tien Chih

mercredi 13 juillet 2022 • Duration 25:53

Tien Chih loves combinatorics, which means he really loves proving things by induction. In this episode we have a good time learning about this incredibly useful technique in mathematics.

Episode 76 - Math Students of CSULA

jeudi 9 juin 2022 • Duration 58:35

We are joined by a group of math students at Cal State University in Los Angeles for a diverse collection of theorems and pairings.

Episode 75 - Dave Kung

jeudi 17 mars 2022 • Duration 30:37

We can't believe it took 75 episodes to get to the Banach-Tarski paradox, but finally Dave Kung chose it as his favorite theorem. Also, Enigma Variations.
