Omar Khayyam was a brilliant mathematician in Iran in the 11th century. But, he was also an interdisciplinary thinker, which means that he was also an astronomer, a philosopher, a political advisor, and a poet. Even today his poems are read and revered around the world.  To read the podcast's transcripts and to see the noted math equations, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

Momentum! It's a term used in wide variety of contexts, but in Physics it is defined as "mass in motion." It is the product of an objects mass times its velocity. In this podcast I go into its history...and it's future!  To read the podcast's transcripts and to see the noted math equations, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

My brain got away from me and I found myself going down a rabbit hole. While there, I revisited the math of Evariste Galois and his foundations to Abstract Algebra. I also ventured into the game Rummikub, the Olympics and swimming. Welcome to my brain.

You know that little app you use on your phone to do your calculations? It has a fun, clunky history full of interesting inventions! The history of the calculator goes as far back as 300 CE with the Salamis Tablet. Today, we can graph in 3-D and solve even the most complex abstract algebraic equations!

During the month of Earth Day, it is justifiable and poignant that we while we honor Mother Earth, we also honor Eunice Newton Foote, the world's first female climate scientist. Foote perfectly exemplified how women contribute to more than just the places that society wants us to remain.

As Women's History Month ends, I want to introduce you to Catherine Macaulay, an eighteenth-century British historian who called for equality in education. She believed that by providing education to young girls and women, we could let go of social opinions and develop human potential.

Hypatia was one of the first female mathematicians that we know of. Her accomplishments were many. She was a valued Alexandrian teacher who taught mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. She was a government advisor and was respected by leader all across the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, her death overshadows the sum of her incredible life. In this podcast, I read the first chapter of my book titled Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life!
