Adam Savage and Numberphile's Matt Parker discuss math-love and Matt's latest book, Humble Pi

Adam Savage Book Club: Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World

I love when poly-nerds (their term) get together to enthusiastically jam on ideas and share their mutual love of playing brain tennis.

In this Tested video, Adam Savage sits down with mathematician and educator Matt Parker for a wide ranging discussion of Matt’s book, Humble Pi, Numberphile, the YouTube channel Matt is part of, the difficulties of teaching math to kids, the creativity of computer programming, how his “semi-magic” “Parker Square” became a meme (and a t-shirt), and much more.
