Podcast appearances and mentions of Ken Ono

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: Zacarias 4:4-10 Plano De Leitura Anual: 2 Crônicas 1–3; João 10:1-23 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Será que chego às Olimpíadas? A jovem nadadora estava preocupada com a sua baixa velocidade. Mas quando o seu professor, Ken Ono, analisou a técnica dela, descobriu como ajudá-la a melhorar o seu tempo em seis segundos, diferença importante nesse nível de disputa. Com o sensor tecnológico colocado nas costas da atleta, ele não conseguiu identificar como melhorar a performance. Em vez disso, Ono identificou pequenas correções que, se aplicadas, tornariam a atleta mais eficiente na água e fariam a diferença para ela alcançar a vitória. Em assuntos espirituais, pequenas correções também fazem uma grande diferença. O profeta Zacarias ensinou um princípio parecido ao grupo de judeus remanescente, que estava desencorajado e lutando para reconstruir o templo de Deus, após o exílio. O Senhor disse a Zorobabel, o líder da reconstrução: “Não por força, nem por poder, mas pelo meu Espírito, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos” (ZACARIAS 4:6). Como Zacarias declarou, “Não desprezem os começos humildes” (v.10). Os exilados temiam que o templo jamais atingisse a glória do templo do rei Salomão. Mas, assim como aquela atleta conseguiu ser medalhista, os construtores de Zorobabel aprenderam que seus pequenos esforços, quando glorificavam a Deus, podiam trazer a alegria da vitória com a ajuda do Senhor. Em Deus, o pequeno se torna grandioso. Por: PATRICIA RAYBON

Dr. Ken Ono says his greatest strength is his curiosity. That curiosity has taken him to the 100 year-old manuscripts of Srinivasa Ramanujan, to the US Olympic swimming team, to astronomical queries into black holes and even to Hollywood. Tune in to hear more about those adventures and why Dr. Ono says theoretical math is an art form.

Renowned number theorist Dr. Ken Ono shares his deep connection to the life and work of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Dr. Ono served as the mathematical consultant and producer of the film "The Man Who Knew Infinity" about Ramanujan's life. This episode was co-produced with the Reynold's School of Journalism and the Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science.

The Global Marking Vice President for Molsen Coors, Sofia Colucci, has done it again. This time hiring mathematician Ken Ono to dunk on Budweiser's 80 calorie beer reminding everyone that Miller64 has been around for over a decade. From gingerbread dive bars to New Balance collabs, Colucci is crushing the Beer News in a good way. Meanwhile, Campbell's Soup wants people to drink "brothtails." Alex revisits the days of the IBU wars with an old money IPA that clocks in at 100 IBUs, Michael can't tell the difference between Sublime and 311, and Stephen brings in beer brewed for the blue-collar crowd.

He got a call to consult on the Hollywood film The Man Who Knew Infinity, starring Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel. The director was so impressed with his knowledge of the life and work of Indian math prodigy Ramanujan that he invited him on set. By the time the credits rolled, he was an associate producer on the movie. But Ono’s own life would make a fascinating big-screen story: a high school dropout pushes away from an intellectually gifted family and his father’s academic legacy, only to be given a chance at college and advanced studies in the very field he avoided for so long.

This week, in honor of Pi Day on March 14, we're presenting two stories from mathematicians. Part 1: After a reluctant start, mathematician Ken Ono makes an unexpected discovery. Part 2: Mathematician Piper Harron deals with harassment after standing up for diversity in math. Ken Ono is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics at Emory University. He is the Vice President of the American Mathematical Society, and he considered to be an expert in the theory of integer partitions and modular forms. His contributions include several monographs and over 160 research and popular articles in number theory, combinatorics and algebra. He received his Ph.D. from UCLA and has received many awards for his research in number theory, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Packard Fellowship and a Sloan Fellowship. He was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering (PECASE) by Bill Clinton in 2000 and he was named the National Science Foundation’s Distinguished Teaching Scholar in 2005. He serves as Editor-in-Chief for two Springer-Nature journals and is an editor of Springer's The Ramanujan Journal. He was also an Associate Producer of the Hollywood film The Man Who Knew Infinity which starred Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel. Piper Harron received her PhD in mathematics from Princeton University in January 2016. More interestingly, she started in 2003, left in 2009, lectured at Northeastern for three semesters, then stopped working and had two children born in 2011 and 2014. Her PhD thesis received recognition for its humorous style and blunt social commentary (Spoiler: math culture is oppressive), and she has traveled to many institutions around the country and in Canada to talk about her experiences trying to survive other people's good intentions. She is currently a postdoc in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
