74: Lights, Camera, Action! (3D Computer Graphics: Part I)
The world around us is a four-dimensional world; there are three spatial dimensions, and one temporal dimension. Many of these objects emit an almost unfathomable number of photons. As we developed as creatures on this planet, we gathered the ability...
73: Materialism: a Material Science Podcast Podcast Episode (Interview with Taylor Sparks)
Physical objects are everywhere, and they're all made out of molecules, and atoms. However, the arrangement and refinement of these atoms can be the difference between a computer and sand, or between a tree and paper. For a species as reliant on tool...
72: The Lifestyles of the Mathematical and Famous (an Interview with Author Robert Black)
Robert Black is an author who has written a six-book series about seven influential mathematicians, their lives, and their work. We interview him and his books, and take a peek into the lives of these influential mathematicians. Addendum: Hey...
71: What's the Matter? An Interview with Chris Cogswell of the Mad Scientist Podcast (Material Science)
Matter is that which takes up space, and has mass. It is what we interact with, and what we are. Imagining a world without matter is to imagine light particles drifting aimlessly in space. Gasses, liquids, solids, and plasmas are all states of matter....
70.1: Episode 70.1 of Breaking Math Podcast (Self-Reference)
Seldom do we think about self-reference, but it is a huge part of the world we live in. Every time that we say 'myself', for instance, we are engaging in self-reference. Long ago, the Liar Paradox and the Golden Ratio were among the first formal...

Season 4 Announcement (and a Rerun of Forbidden Formulas)
Hello, listeners! This is Sofia with an announcement. Season 4 is about to start, and we have some great episodes planned. The last few weeks have been busy for us in our personal lives, and we apologize for our spotty release schedule lately. We're...
Rerun of P1: Peano Addition
On this problem episode, join Sofía and guest Diane Baca to learn about what an early attempt to formalize the natural numbers has to say about whether or not m+n equals n+m. [Featuring: Sofía Baca; Diane Baca] --- This episode is sponsored by ·...
69: An Interview with Michael Brooks, Author of "The Art of More: How Mathematics Created Civilization"
Michael Brooks is a science writer who specializes in making difficult concepts easier to grasp. In his latest book, Brooks goes through several mathematical concepts and discusses their motivation, history, and discovery. So how do stories make it...
P12: O My God (Big O Notation)
There are times in mathematics when we are generalizing the behavior of many different, but similar, entities. One such time that this happens is the use cases of Big O notation, which include describing the long-term behavior of functions, and...
