Samuel Hansen's fantastic math podcast is everything a technical program should be deep but accessible, thoughtful but funny, and free for all; the new season is on Kickstarter for a few more hours! I put in $35.
Series one of Relatively Prime was released in 2012 and had stories about checkers, survival housing, swine flu, juggling, a Spanish basilica, and an alien civilization in England. Now the creator, Samuel Hansen, wants to produce a brand new series of 8 episodes that will feature yet more amazing mathematical stories. Stories like these:
*
Can the complexity of cities be measured, and is it possible that a computer game is the secret?*
Why is modular arithmetic a clock? Can we really not compare apples and oranges? A study of mathematical metaphors.*
Is it possible to know all things in mathematics?*
If you can't, just what are mathematicians doing all day?*
Where do you end up if you start with a single mathematical paper and follow it to the end of the line?*
How can mathematics help you make better everyday decisions and do your chores with more ease?Relatively Prime is a small show with huge ambitions, and as good as the first series was the second one will be exponentially better. Please help us tell these wonderful mathematical stories.
