Showing titles in Mathematics

Everyone wants to see children and young adults succeed in math, but it can be difficult to sort myths from facts in education. Join math professor, Anna Stokke, for conversations with leading educators about the importance of math, effective teaching methods, and debunking common myths about math and teaching. Chalk and Talk is a podcast for anyone interested in education, including educators, parents and students.

The Math Myth expands Hacker's scrutiny of many widely held assumptions, like the notions that mathematics broadens our minds and that the entire Common Core syllabus should be required of every student. He worries that a frenzied emphasis on STEM is diverting attention from other pursuits and subverting the spirit of the country. In fact, Hacker honors mathematics as a calling (he has been a professor of mathematics) and extols its glories and its goals.

Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. Pocket-sized calculators ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, took us to the bottom of the ocean, and accompanied us to the moon. The pocket calculator changed our world, until it was supplanted by more modern devices that, in a cruel twist of irony, it helped to create. Keith Houston transports listeners from the nascent economies of the ancient world to World War II, and into the technological arms race that led to the first affordable electronic pocket calculators.

Smart machines based upon the principles of artificial intelligence and machine learning are now prevalent in our everyday life. For example, artificially intelligent systems recognize our voices, sort our pictures, make purchasing suggestions, and can automatically fly planes and drive cars. In this podcast series, we examine such questions such as: How do these devices work? Where do they come from? And how can we make them even smarter and more human-like? These are the questions which will be addressed in the podcast series Learning Machines 101.

Number theory is the branch of mathematics that is primarily concerned with the counting numbers. Of particular importance are the prime numbers, the "building blocks" of our number system. The subject is an old one, dating back over two millennia to the ancient Greeks, and for many years has been studied for its intrinsic beauty and elegance, not least because several of its challenges are so easy to state that everyone can understand them, and yet no one has ever been able to resolve them. But number theory has also recently become of great practical importance.

Kristen Moore, classroom teacher and instructional coach at Moore Than Just X, empowers middle and high school math teachers to transform the student experience with the strategies and the confidence to implement project-based learning, mastery-based assessment, and more student-centered practices to boost engagement in their classrooms. Teaching math has never been this fun!Whether you're a math teacher newbie or a seasoned veteran, you'll find something new and inspiring in every episode that's sure to start changing the way you're teaching math. You’re already a listener, why not join the...

Qu’est-ce que le savoir mathématique ? À quoi sert une théorie mathématique ? Et qu’est-ce que faire des mathématiques ? La nature et l’objet des mathématiques restent bien mystérieux, et celles-ci apparaissent souvent abstraites. Les mathématiques ont pourtant une notion bien définie du vrai : est vrai ce qui est démontré. Pour les besoins de la démonstration, précisément, les mathématiques usent d’outils.

Learn how to tackle tricky maths problems with nothing but the back of an envelope, a pencil and some good old-fashioned brain power. Join Rob Eastaway as he takes an entertaining look at how to figure without a calculator. Packed with amusing anecdotes, quizzes, and handy calculation tips for every situation, Maths on the Back of an Envelope is an invaluable introduction to the art of estimation and a welcome reminder that sometimes our own brain is the best tool we have to deal with numbers.

These stories from Quanta Magazine map the routes of mathematical exploration, showing listeners how cutting-edge research is done, while illuminating the productive tension between conjecture and proof, theory and intuition. Listeners of The Prime Number Conspiracy are headed on "breathtaking intellectual journeys to the bleeding edge of discovery strapped to the narrative rocket of humanity's never-ending pursuit of knowledge," says Quanta editor-in-chief Thomas Lin.

Through Euclid's Window Leonard Mlodinow brilliantly and delightfully leads us on a journey through five revolutions in geometry, from the Greek concept of parallel lines to the latest notions of hyperspace. Here is an altogether new, refreshing, alternative history of math revealing how simple questions anyone might ask about space -- in the living room or in some other galaxy -- have been the hidden engine of the highest achievements in science and technology.

Le fondateur de la théorie du chaos et de la relativité. Cédric Villani nous guide à travers l'œuvre de Henri Poincaré, qui fut le plus grand mathématicien de son temps, un éminent philosophe des sciences et le précurseur génial dans de nombreux domaines de recherches qu'il a fondés, la théorie du chaos et la relativité notamment. Une lumineuse histoire des sciences.

Nombres premiers, irrationnels... Les nombres révèlent des structures et une diversité surprenantes. Ils ont fasciné tous les mathématiciens, de Platon jusqu'aux plus modernes. Jean-Pierre Kahane nous initie ici à quelques uns de leurs mystères. Jean-Pierre Kahane nous convie ici à une promenade dans les nombres. Accompagné de Pythagore, Euclide, Théétète et Platon il nous emmène vers les irrationnels et les nombres premiers.

Do you want to become mentally sharper and quicker? Do you want to be able to save time and calculate large numbers on the go while you're shopping or splitting up a bill at a restaurant? Do you want other people to notice how you seem to not need a calculator, how you seem like such a genius? Mental math is the ability to solve math problems in your head, without the need to write or use a calculator. And it has all of the benefits implied above and much more. Preliminary studies have even shown that mental math can improve your emotional health as well.

A show all about puzzles, games, brainteasers, mysteries, riddles, and lateral thinking.  It’s an exploration of the quandaries of our lives, a journey through the mysteries of the world, driven by curiosity and wonder.  Either that, or it's a bunch of audio files with some puzzles thrown in.  Depends on how cynical you are.

So many people dream of becoming their own boss or succeeding in their chosen profession, and with the resources available today, more entrepreneurs and professionals are achieving great success! However, success should be defined for the long term. As opportunities start to grow, so does the competition. Getting your business up and running or starting on your career path is one thing, but having a sustainable business or career is another. Many people make the mistake of making plans, but having no follow-through. This is where analytics comes in.

Are there any logical reasons to believe in God? Mathematician and best-selling author John Allen Paulos thinks not. In Irreligion he presents the case for his own worldview, organizing his book into 12 chapters that refute the 12 arguments most often put forward for believing in God's existence.

Welcome to an advanced discussion of quantum mechanics at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Here I will discuss many aspects of quantum mechanics, that may be quickly glossed over in a traditional university course. The notes for the podcast are available in pdf format on the companion website: https://qmemcm.github.io/letsTalkQM/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
