SHOW NOTES:
Unfortunately our show notes are too big for Acast's margins to contain... head to the episode page to see everything.
Corrections and clarifications:
- Every time Matt mentions the "Lagrange constant" please change it in your head to "Legendre constant" in your head. He was close, but not close enough! See the show notes to find out more about both Legendre and Lagrange.
- The audio for this episode was updated on 1st June after some changes were made to the lyrics on the song recording. Everything else about the episode is the same.
