04/14/23 • 20 min

Sarah and Ifaz do math on the air in this episode to illustrate how some math problems can have many solutions, each with their own strengths. The conversation also delves into the relationship between techniques and solutions as they discuss whether they would be able to come up with the solutions if they hadn't seen the techniques before.
Disclaimer: Some of the solutions discussed aren't exactly correct, but can be adapted to correct solutions.

Letting Math Influence You

Sometimes the best way to get into a community is to build your own. In this episode, co-hosts Sarah and Ifaz talk with Jenna Race about her struggles to find other people who think Math is cool and ending up on Math Twitter.
The conversation ranges from discovering college algebra, finding out about other math communities, arranging Pi Days at work and the dark sides of online life, all while dispelling myths about slide rules and log books.
