When Math Saved a Life: Gordon Cooper, the Stars, and Real-World Numbers
-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
Rick Post shows how mathematics shapes both dramatic moments—like Gordon Cooper using the stars to guide a dying spacecraft—and everyday decisions, from budgeting and cooking to navigation and technology.
The episode covers the Monty Hall paradox, practical finance tips (including the 50-30-20 rule), uses of math in building, sports, weather modeling, and a quick word of the day plus an interesting health fact about leftover pasta.
