POPULARITY
We are joined this week by Dr. Po-Shen Loh, professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, social entrepreneur, and innovator, to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities the rise of AI will pose to work, education, and democracy. Throughout our conversation, we analyze how humans can--and must--remain supreme in an AI world.
Yes, you CAN be a “math person” — as long as you follow these learning techniques. Po-Shen Loh is an International Mathematical Olympiad coach, and he challenges the notion that some people are inherently “not math people.” He believes that every one has the potential to understand mathematics, as long as they start with the desire to learn. A unique aspect of mathematics is its reliance on a sequence of dependent concepts. Unlike subjects such as history, where concepts are broader and less interdependent, math involves a deeper chain of connected ideas. This makes the learning process fragile; missing a single concept can disrupt comprehension due to the interlinked nature of mathematical ideas. Loh draws a comparison with a train journey: If there is a gap in the track (a missing concept), the train cannot proceed. He suggests a personalized learning approach, allowing individuals to learn at their own pace in order to fill gaps in understanding. With this approach, anyone can excel in math — and even find it easier than other subjects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ❍ About The Well ❍ Do we inhabit a multiverse? Do we have free will? What is love? Is evolution directional? There are no simple answers to life's biggest questions, and that's why they're the questions occupying the world's brightest minds. So what do they think? How is the power of science advancing understanding? How are philosophers and theologians tackling these fascinating questions? Let's dive into The Well.
After travelling extensively to Havana, Po-Shen Loh joins Lexman and the rest of the crew to discuss the city's changing aesthetic and the increasing influence of algorithms and technology on society. They also explore the city's once-stereotyped neighbourhoods, and examine their potential as hubs of creativity and prosperity.

We talk with Po-Shen Loh, the founder of the Novid app. We talk about how Novid uses a network effect theory mixed with ultrasonic sound to communicate with other users to provide anonymous contact tracing for Covid-19 contact notifications. We talk about the technology as it compares to the Android and iOS Covid-19 API, new features to add points of relation to "forecast" Coronavirus outbreaks, and how the app may only need 10% adoption to be effective. Find out more and download the app at www.novid.org.

As the world continues to focus on slowing the spread of COVID-19 and determining how to safely restart the world economy, Expii Founder/Carnegie Mellon University Professor Po-Shen Loh has developed an innovative new contact tracing app that uses ultrasound technology to more accurately follow people’s exposure to COVID-19 than other apps that use Bluetooth alone. Join us to hear from Po and this exciting new app. https://www.cmu.edu/mcs/news-events/2020/0626_most-accurate-contact-tracing-app.html
Expii's Po-Shen Loh gives all of the details on developing the NOVID app -- an anonymous contact tracing app for COVID-19. NOVID is the first completely anonymous COVID-19 contact tracing app published in the USA which uses no personal information: no GPS, no phone number and no e-mail.

Today’s guest is Po-Shen Loh: Associate Professor of Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, founder and CEO of Expii, and team leader of the United States International Math Olympiad (IMO) team. A self-proclaimed math enthusiast and evangelist, Po sits down with Richard to share the lessons he’s learned, his thoughts on his many accomplishments, and how he strives to bring math to the world.
Po Shen Loh, Founder of Expii, wants to improve mathematics across the country. But like a true No BSer, Po Shen Loh adapts to his audience and customers by changing content to meet their wants and needs. Expii seeks to educate its students through relatable scenarios, such as life experiences, and engaging content. That way, students think they can do math, too.What's the biggest takeaway? The way you can learn any topic is not by seeing a single lesson, but by doing problems in that topic until you get stuck. If you practice problems and you do them correctly, Expii automatically challenges you with harder problems. If you do those incorrectly, you get some easier topics. When you're stuck, all you have to do is click a button and learn the reason behind the lesson. That sounds a lot like "Understanding the Why" to us at MASSolutions!Are you signed up for the No BS Marketing weekly update? You'll receive timely, valuable ideas to improve your marketing and transform your message. It's light, intended to be read in 2 minutes or less and it just might trigger bright ideas for you.

Po Shen Loh is the National Coach for the USA International Math Olympiad team. He's not focused on training students for tests. He's focused on taking the top mathematician high school students in the country and teaching them how to be successful for the rest of their lives. He is also the Founder of Expii, which brings math to life through personalized learning, videos, and creative puzzles.On this episode of the No BS Marketing Show, Po tells us what it's like to win a mathematics olympiad medal, as well becoming the team's coach. Additionally, Po walks us through his career path which took him to England and then ultimately to Carnegie Mellon University.Po's goal was to lift the interest and ability in math across America. But there was a problem: there was no money, he was one person, and he had no government connections. Listen to this episode to learn how Po overcame these obstacles to create Expii, the place where students are given resources to become a new generation of creative and analytical thinkers.
Po-Shen Loh @poshenloh, National Math Coach and Carnegie Mellon Professor gives us a refreshing take on teaching math. From giving kids problems with the right level of difficulty to solving problems with students, learn how to take any math student to the next level.

Po Shen Loh, mathematics professor at Carnegie Mellon University and founder of expii.com joins The Big Trade series. Peter and Po start the conversation by talking about the concept of inquiry based learning. The pair then delves into the current state of the education system… touching on inequality in the system, testing and cognitive approaches toward learning. Next, Po introduces Expii – an app that encourages inquiry based learning. He explains how he designed the user interface, sequence of questions and the app’s navigation structure. Po concludes the conversation by giving advice on how math and rational thought concepts can be applied to business and finance.
Po Shen Loh took an hour out of his day to sit down with the Going Deep podcast and discuss his company Expii that helps students learn difficult STEM topics. He represented the USA Math team at the International Mathematical Olympiad as a high schooler in 1999, where he won a silver medal. He came back to the team as a deputy leader (assistant coach) in 2004 and 2010-2013. He took over the Head Lead role in 2014 and led the US to its first championship in 21 years in 2015. Po founded Expii Inc. in January of 2014 as a learning tool to help replicate the most effective methods of teaching students all over the world. Expii's mission is as follows; "We believe that high-quality educational resources should be available to anyone, no matter where they are or what they can afford. We also believe that students and teachers are the best at explaining things. We build the tools ordinary people need to educate one another. So far, we've designed an approachable markup language that enthusiasts have used to create thousands of lessons. We've also created a free platform to interconnect these lessons." Po got his PHD in Mathematics from Princeton in 2010, where his thesis discussed combinatorics (the study of discrete systems) and probability theory. Prior to his work at Princeton, Po-Shen received the equivalent of a masters degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2005, where he was supported by a Winston Churchill Foundation Scholarship. He received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Caltech in 2004, graduating first in his class, and his undergraduate thesis later received the Honorable Mention for the 2004 AMS-MAA-SIAM Morgan Prize. After getting his PHD, he went on to immediately begin an assistant professorship in mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University.
