Mathematically Speaking Podcast

On this episode we start with our historical approach to mathematics where it all began, the calendar.  I break down how it was made, why it was made, and some of the hidden mathematical secrets that it holds.  Also find out which animals can count!! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/support

On this episode we finish our 3 part mini series on infinity with a historical and future look of what infinity has done and can do for us. Also I announce some changes coming to the show --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/support

On this episode we continue the discussion of the concept of infinity.  We discuss how infinity changed from the 17th century to today, how Georg Cantor shook the mathematical  and religious worlds, and how infinity can help give us a meaning to a seemingly meaningless life. 

On this episode, we begin our discussion on Infinity by defining what it means to exist. Existence is a massive aspect to formal mathematics, yet it is never defined what kind of existence is meant in mathematics.  We break down three kinds of existence and show their effect on mathematics through the history of calculus and how it evolved.  Calculus done by Leibniz and calculus done by students today look very different, and the idea of existence may give us an insight as to why...

On this episode, we finish the discussion on Richardson's Theory of War and with his proposed causes and pacifiers of war.  Also we have a discussion on the massive importance of cause vs. correlation

On this episode we begin our discussion of Lewis F Richardson and his mathematical theory of war. This mathematicians perfectly encapsulates the thesis of this show: math is human --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/support

In today's episode we discuss the final perspective in our mini series. And I go on a rant about the education system and how this perspective can potentially change that --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/support

On this episode we explore 1 point of view to the question "what is math?" And how that could impact math education today and moving forward. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mathematically-speaking/support
