Podcasts about aperiodical

My guest is Katie Steckles, Mathematician, presenter and communicator. She has written seven books about mathematics, hosts the brilliant Mathemetical Objects podcast where she and her co presenter Peter Rowlatt discuss with their guests, very ordinary objects, and sometimes weird ones, and the mathematics behind and because of that object.The kind of podcast I would love to have made if i were cleverer and had thought of it. It's a very interesting chat about the arbelos, kalaidocycles, bringing the stories of mathematics to light, the skill of not knowing what you are doing, Euclid's brother, Pythagoras's very existence, Jeff Goldblum, and a global maths communications hub built on a submarine in Katie's long term plans.Again apologies for the aperiodical nature of these podcasts - pretend it's another era and post gets held up in winter storms. ANyway it's fitting as Katie's website is call Aperiodical.com and describes that lack of pattern in her blogposts.Things you can look up afterwards - the kaleidocycle, the tetrahedron, Andrew Wyles - the man who solved Fermat's last theorem. Tim Gowers, an expert in combinatorics, Terence Tao, childhood genius who kept getting better, and the late Maryam Mirzakhani. Jurassic Park dragon curve and chaos theory. It's all to do with fractals. And I'm going to do lots more on that.

To wrap up the year 2019 Samuel Hansen is joined by Katie Steckles and Christian Lawson-Perfect of Aperiodical.com to discuss some of the big stories from the world…

Here's something a little different. Over at Aperiodical they are running the Big Internet Math Off 2019 (https://aperiodical.com/2019/06/announcing-the-big-internet-math-off-2019/), where 16 mathematicians present pitches to compete in a tournament. We were very pleased to be nominated to take part. For this round we thought we'd do what we do best, albeit in smaller, snack sized portion. We are up against Grant Sanderson of 3Blue1Brown (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw?&ab_channel=3Blue1Brown) which is a channel that we both love. You can find both of our pitches here (https://aperiodical.com/2019/07/the-big-internet-math-off-2019-group-1-grant-sanderson-vs-alaric-stephen/), where if you like what you hear we would very much appreciate your support by voting for Alaric. Most importantly, here is the file (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SKMl1Fh6CtW2nFcSBPxSZuiuLLrMelWn) that my student Ed Ceney created so you can try to come up with the best strategy yourself. The paper outlining the original experiment can be found here (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2856963). Normal episodes will resume shortly.

Colm Mulcahy is an original Aperiodical contributor (Aperiodicontributor?) and friend of the site. He's spent the last year and a bit writing his new book, Mathematical Card Magic: Fifty-Two New Effects. It came out a few weeks ago, so we thought it was a good opportunity to talk to him and find out just what's so…

To celebrate the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, serial guest James Grime has taken on the arduous task of re-watching the original series to study the mathematics featured on the screen. He joins us for a podcast-only special to tell us all about it, with audio clips of the relevant episodes. We'll talk about cicadas, morphogenesis (or “waves on cows”), deceiving androids from first principles, and the biggest question of them all: does the redshirt always die? If you want to check James' working, he's published a series of posts over at The Aperiodical on the same themes: part I, part II, part III. Please enjoy this photograph of Gödel, which we mention towards the end of the show. Please also enjoy further information on the remarkable Valais goat. The short skirt uniform worn by both men and women in early episodes of The Next Generation is called a skant, and it was occasionally worn with trousers. JIM: Science and medics, those are the blue shirts. HOST: Where do mathematicians go? Scientists? JIM: That's right, yes, science. HOST: You're safe? JIM: Yes, I am, I'm in the blue shirt category. as quoted by Peter Rowlett in What colour shirt do mathematicians wear? Tracklist Theme from Star Trek Nerf Herder – Mr. Spock Beach House – Zebra Leonard Nimoy – The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins William Shatner – Real Valais Blackneck family by Jos James Grime with a tribble by Andrew Holding Send feedback and comments to show@scienceoffiction.co.uk.

We will delve deeper into life of one of the founders of the modern skeptics movement, Martin Gardner. American man of letters and numbers -- and logic and magic and patterns and puzzles -- Martin Gardner (1914-2010) wrote about 100 books, starting with "Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science" sixty years ago. That led to his playing a founding role in CSICOP (Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal), and the Skeptical Inquirer magazine. He was most well-known for his book The Annotated Alice (in Wonderland), the 300 columns he wrote for Scientific American, mostly on recreational mathematics, and the huge body of magic he created. We'll survey his legacy and touch on his Atlanta connections. Follow @WWMGT on Twitter to find out What Would Martin Gardner Tweet? "Card Colm" Mulcahy (@CardColm) teaches mathematics at Spelman College, Atlanta, Georgia. He knew Gardner for the last decade of his life. He blogs at Huffington Post, Aperiodical and MAA. He's the author of the upcoming book Mathematical Card Magic (AK Peters). --- Released and distributed under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 United States license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ You are free to: Share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work Remix - to adapt the work Under the following conditions: Attribution - You must attribute the work (but not in any way that suggests that the Atlanta Science Tavern nor AbruptMedia, LLC endorses you or your use of the work) to the Atlanta Science Tavern (http://www.AtlantaScienceTavern.com) and AbruptMedia, LLC (http://www.AbruptMedia.com).

In true Aperiodical fashion, we left 13 days before recording another Aperiodcast, so here's what we think about the last almost-two-weeks on the site. We talked about: “Futurama theorem” slightly improved The number line is not an intuitive concept Grow Your Own Food Puzzlebomb – May 2012 Carnival of Mathematics 86 Charlotte Hillebrand's post with…

Here's the very first edition of what we've cleverly decided to call The Aperiodcast. The plan is to record a short podcast every week or week-and-a-bit (this is the Aperiodical after all) talking about what's been happening on the site, and pointing out posts that we found particularly interesting or have generated a lot of…
