  • The Big Ideas in Mathematics and Writing Olympiad Problems with Daniel Griller
    Daniel Griller studied Maths at Trinity College Cambridge, has written maths problems for the British Maths Olympiad, Radio 4, The Guardian and The New Scientist, and is currently a maths teacher.
    We discuss debates in mathematics, his experiences writing olympiad problems, as well as advice and techniques to use in your own problem solving.
    He has published three books: A Ring of Cats and Dogs: and Other Curious Puzzles, Problem Solving in GCSE Mathematics, and Elastic Numbers: 108 Puzzles for the Serious Problem Solver. They contain some great problems, and we encourage you to buy one.
    This episode was cohosted with Ishaan Das.

  • Pascal's Resistors - MINDBENDING Physics Problem

    The equivalent resistance of an infinite array of resistors? Can you find the answer? Another video episode for you today, where I propose an interesting physics problem and give its step by step solution. This is a great problem to understanding circuits, especially resistors in parallel and series. Consider leaving a follow to see more content like this.

  • Intro to Ecology and how We're Destroying Our Planet

    Ecology is not only important as a way to understand our environment, but also to understand how we're damaging it. How does deforestation affect the carbon cycle? How do fertilisers affect fish? How could impurities in fossil fuels kill organisms? I answer these questions, and more, in this episode, as I go over the fundamentals of ecology, as well as the main human influences on the environment, including global warming and climate change.
