William Goldbloom Bloch is a respected professor of mathematics at Wheaton College. This intriguing lecture series, Mathematics Is Power, delves into both the history of mathematics and its impact on people’s everyday lives from a non-mathematician’s perspective. Bloch first examines the history of mathematics and age-old questions pertaining to logic, truth, and paradoxes. Moving on to a discussion of how mathematics impacts the modern world, Bloch also explores abstract permutations such as game theory, cryptography, and voting theory.

The history of pi, says the author, though a small part of the history of mathematics, is nevertheless a mirror of the history of man. Petr Beckmann holds up this mirror, giving the background of the times when pi made progress - and also when it did not, because science was being stifled by militarism or religious fanaticism.

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.

This podcast discusses the history of scientific thought and tells stories about the greatest scientific discoveries and the scientists who made them. There may also be an inordinate amount of Xennial-related references thrown in along the way. Episodes will be released every two weeks on Fridays! Thanks for listening.

Where do the rigid rules of science and the fluid beauty of language converge? Welcome to The Òrga Spiral Podcasts, a journey into the hidden patterns that connect our universe with radical history, poetry and geopolitics We liken ourselves to the poetry in a double helix and the narrative arc of a scientific discovery. Each episode, we follow the graceful curve of the golden spiral—a shape found in galaxies, hurricanes, and sunflowers, collapsing empires—to uncover the profound links between seemingly distant worlds. How does the Fibonacci sequence structure a sonnet? What can the ...

Mathematik anders erzählt. Wir stellen die Menschen hinter der Mathematik in den Mittelpunkt und erzählen ihre Geschichte. Es geht um Pistolenduelle, um die Revolution und die große Liebe, um einen Leserbrief-Shitstorm und Plagiate unter Freunden. Es gibt also jede Menge Drama! Dazu erklären wir in jeder Folge eine große Idee der Mathematik – so, dass sie jeder versteht. Das alles hört ihr jeden zweiten Mittwoch in “Geschichten aus der Mathematik” – ein detektor.fm-Podcast in Kooperation mit Spektrum der Wissenschaft.

"Geometry" is a six-part series that delves into the fascinating world of geometry, from its ancient origins to its modern applications. The journey begins with an introduction to fundamental concepts and the historical significance of Euclid's contributions. It progresses through plane geometry, examining shapes and their properties, and solid geometry, exploring three-dimensional forms. The series then covers coordinate geometry, merging algebra with spatial understanding, and transformational geometry, focusing on shape movements and symmetries. Finally, it ventures into the realms of ...

En los años 40, al arquitecto Rafael de La-Hoz Arderius le encargaron que buscara el rastro de la proporción áurea en el patrimonio de la ciudad de Córdoba. No la halló. Sin embargo, encontró otra proporción menos esbelta, más achatada; una pauta arquitectónica que se repetía y ante la que los cordobeses parecían ver el canon de belleza. De su investigación nació la denominada “proporción cordobesa”. Este es el relato sonoro de aquella investigación matemática y arquitectónica universal.Una producción de Tacet, dirigida por el arquitecto Rafael Obrero Guisado y con guion...
