We can learn many things from models. Scientists use models to test their ideas. Listeners will learn about the importance of making predictions, testing ideas, collecting data, and more.

In this fascinating 36-lecture exploration of scientific growth filled with ideas, anecdotes, and insights. You'll see how 20th-century scientists have built on crucial 19th-century concepts such as energy, natural selection, atoms, fields, and waves to assemble a body of knowledge to stun even the most farsighted scientific thinkers of that not-too-distant past.

Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate...

This ten-part history of mathematics reveals the personalities behind the calculations: the passions and rivalries of mathematicians struggling to get their ideas heard. Professor Marcus du Sautoy shows how these masters of abstraction find a role in the real world and proves that mathematics is...

There is an old saying about problems that you may have heard before, "There are no problems, only opportunities." To this simple-minded approach, Bill Gibson says, "Hogwash." Problems do exist. And you need to prepare for them and understand them before you can overcome them. Even the great problem solvers can't make problems go away, but they often find opportunities linked to them.

This podcast series explores projects about inclusive research innovation (IRI) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). IRI takes place whenever STEM scholars actively integrate the diversity of human beings in their work, contributing to inclusive processes and results. Join Dr. Claudia Werker from Delft University of Technology as she talks with colleagues across numerous disciplines about their challenges and successes engaging in IRI in STEM.
