On this episode, we talk about cults, numerology, and the man that has those things in common, Pythagoras.  We discuss the impact his cult had on the world, irrational numbers, and the implications of trying to quantify everything.  

On this episode, we talk about the man who made everyone hate high school geometry- Thales.  He is why we have the concept of proof. We will go over what he did and what proof means.  

The opening episode of season 2 is here! On this episode, we discuss how the number system of the Greeks worked. What it means to have a geometric conception of number, both it's pros and cons.  

On this episode, I took clips from several different interviews with professors that I did for another podcast that I host.  You will hear from 4 different professors who come from different mathematical perspectives all talking about the nature of math, the difference between pure and applied math, and some applications that most people would not think a mathematician doing.  Hope you enjoy it. 

On this final episode of Season 1, we go over the history of calculators from ancient Egypt, Rome, China and Japan, and finally the Hindi calculator.  

On this episode, we end our discussion about Egypt with the pyramids.  We also explore the golden ratio, a number that can be found in a multitude of seemingly unrelated things from sunflowers, the human body, and the milky way galaxy.  Does this mean a universal number implies the existence of a God? Listen and Find out.  

On this episode, we move from Mesopotamia to Egypt.  We begin with their counting system and compare it to the US monetary system.  We also discuss, potentially, the very first algorithms.  

One this episode we continue our journey into Ancient Mesopotamia and see what more mathematical knowledge that they had.  We will discuss the basics of arithmetic, some of the earliest algorithms and maybe even get to the earliest notion of infinity.  

On this episode of the podcast we begin our journey into ancient Mesopotamia and see what the earliest human settlements knew.  We give them credit for knowledge that is beyond most of us today and maybe their knowledge can give us insight into the nature of mathematics itself.
