    S2E03 - Illustrating mathematics, with Constanza Rojas-Molina and Martin Skrodzki
    2025/01/05
    In this episode we talk with Constanza Rojas-Molina and Martin Skrodzki about illustrating mathematics. From pseudonyms and hobbies to careers where their illustrative work is indispensable, we talk about their development as artists and mathematicians and how to encourage others to use their creativity when it comes to mathematics. A special episode, exploring the relations between mathematics, art and how the two can empower each other and influence research, teaching and public engagement. There are lots of links for this episode: Coni's website (Coni777 on twitter and bluesky)Martin's website (he can be found as msmathcomp on most social media)Bridges conference and their open-access archive and open-access art galleryJournal of Mathematics and the ArtsIllustrating Maths (IM) website, it has an invitation to the IM Discord channel on the home pageAnnouncements for the upcoming Illustrating Maths seminarsTo attend the one-week IM program at ICERM in Summer 2025, look hereFor the ambitious that want to attend a longer event, here is the information for the trimester at IHP in Paris in 2026#Noethember on Coni's website, on The Aperiodical and on the EMS MagazineThe #MathYear challenge on Coni's website and on the EWM websiteThe Blackboard Whisperers, interviews with female mathematicians, by E.A.

    2024/12/01

    In this episode we are joined by Ekin Özman and Bart Besselink to discuss what are the work days of a mathematician at a univerisity like. With their help we get a little panoramic on what a career in mathematics looks like and what are the expectations, the priorities and sometimes the compromises that it requires.

    As usual, the episode touches upon a great variety of topics, don't miss it!

  • S2E01 - Good mathematics problems, with Serte Donderwinkel and Steffen Müller

    S2E01 - Good mathematics problems, with Serte Donderwinkel and Steffen Müller
    2024/11/03

    We are back with an episode on what makes mathematical problems interesting. In the studio with us, for this impossible topic, are Serte Donderwinkel and Steffen Müller: together we explore what we find interesting in mathematical problems, how beauty affects our taste, and how the way we present the problems influences the interest around them.

    As usual, the episode touches upon a great variety of themes, don't miss it!


    Episode links:

    • Serte Donderwinkel's ⁠homepage⁠
    • Steffen Müller's ⁠homepage⁠
    • We met Anna in Season 1 Episode 8
    • We met Jaap Top in ⁠Season 1 Episode 5⁠
    • The Joy of Why - What makes for good mathematics?
    • Freeman Dyson - Birds and Frogs


    This was probably the episode with the largest amount of preliminary reading in the history of this podcast. The theme has been widely discussed and it is very interesting to see the various different points of views, with their differences and commonalities. We leave our reading list here for posterity:

    • Terence Tao - What is good mathematics?
    • John Baez - Why mathematics is boring
    • Tim Gowers - The two cultures of mathematics
    • Jeremy Avigad - Varieties of Mathematical Understanding
    • Eugene Wigner - The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences, see also the corresponding Wikipedia page
    • Gizem Karaali - Doing Math in Jest: Reflections on Useless Math, the Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics, and the Ethical Obligations of Mathematicians
