In dieser Folge beschäftigen sich Alex Fegel und Alex Grimm mit der Frage, wie viel Aufwand in ein PoC fließen darf und wann man es als gescheitert an sehen kann.Unsere Themen: Wie lange reitet man das Data-Science Pferd / wie viel probiet man aus? Wann sagt man es reicht und geht einen Schritt zurück? Ab wann gilt ein PoC als gescheitert? Wann ist er erfolgreich? Wo liegt der Fokus / wo geht die Zeit und das Budget am besten rein in frühen Phasen?

In this episode we discuss paradigms for naming very large numbers, and how this connects to the power of algorithms, programming languages, and the machines they run on.

Émilie du Châtelet: fisica e diamantiGabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, marchesa du Châtelet (1706-1749) , nota comeÉmilie du Châtelet, è stata una fisica, matematica, letterata francese. Femme de lumières, considerata uno degli ingegni del XVIII secolo, partecipò ai grandi dibattiti  della sua epoca.Châtelet contribuì in modo determinante alla divulgazione della teoria della gravitazione di Newton,  e alla sua rielaborazione teorica integrando il linguaggio matematico di Leibniz.Si

Send us a text What happens when we stop teaching math as a set of steps to memorize and instead create space for students to explore, question, and discover? In this episode, we dig into how shifting our approach to math instruction can transform classrooms—and mindsets. This episode is packed with insights and practical strategies for making math class more engaging, joyful, and effective. Tune in to hear the full conversation, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help us re...

This episode of Room to Grow brings together our 2025 series on the Mathematics Teaching Practices from Principles to Actions, an NCTM publication. After discussing each of the eight practices in isolation over the last several months, this month tackles the ideas and challenges in actually making substantive change to classroom practice. Our hosts share ideas for engaging with others in deeper professional learning, coaching, and peer observations, as well as ideas for individual teach...

Welcome to the kickoff of our August Saturday Math! 🎉 In this episode, Jonily Zupancic and Cheri Dotterer set the stage for the 2025–2026 school year with a focus on depth in lesson planning.You’ll learn:Why shallow, “grab-and-go” teaching resources aren’t enough.The grade levels Jonily will be partnering with this year (2, 3, 4, 8, Algebra I & II).How our certified coaches are modeling success in Grade 1 and Grade 6.Why teacher quality and intentional planning matter more than any

Tim Harford looks at some of the numbers in the news. This week:Is it true that interest payments on the UK’s national debt are equivalent to £240 per month for everyone in the country?Reform UK claim that Afghan migrants are 22 times more likely to be convicted of sex offences. Is that number correct?We try to make sense of a claim that one in 10 women are being driven to leave work by their menopause symptoms.And we investigate a claim comparing the speed of a snail and the war in Ukraine.If

This week, we're taking another trip to ancient Alexandria to meet Diophantus, often hailed as the "Father of Algebra." Join us as we untangle the fuzzy biography of a mathematician whose life story is a riddle, and whose monumental work, the Arithmetica, started us working  towards systematic equation-solving. From the proto-symbols of syncopated algebra to the birth of Diophantine equations (where only whole numbers dare to tread!), we explore how this ancient Greek genius sought to generalize

In the third episode of his new series, AfterMath, Edward Frenkel dives into the question of whether computers can ever reach the cognitive capacity of the human mind -- specifically, in the realm of mathematics. While computers excel at number crunching, they struggle with general mathematical statements. Edward introduces the concept of the Turing Wall, a fundamental limit to what computers can do with numbers, named in honor of Alan Turing, the father of modern computing. Frenkel further explores

Send us a text In this episode of The Engineering Passion Express, we have a relaxed chat with Dale Rice, SOLIDWORKS Electrical Applications Engineer at GoEngineer, though despite the name, we weren't having drinks at all, we just didn't have a particular journey in mind when the conversation started. Dale has been supporting engineering companies for decades and has seen a tremendous amount of engineering, and he also is a good friend of mine. This is not a narrative episode, rather i...

Welcome to the first ever edition of Voices of Mathematics, a podcast from the Mathematics Faculty at the University of Cambridge. From number theory and geometry to cosmology and quantum physics, join us to explore topics across pure and applied mathematics, mathematical statistics and theoretical physics. In this episode we talk to David Tong, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. 2025 marks an important milestone in the history of

In this conversation, Marcus Du Sautoy explores the intricate relationship between mathematics and various forms of art, including music, literature, and visual arts. He discusses how mathematical concepts such as prime numbers, symmetry, and randomness influence creative processes and artistic expressions. Through examples from renowned artists like Shakespeare and Dali, Du Sautoy illustrates how mathematics serves as a blueprint for understanding and creating art, while also emphasizing the

The provided texts discuss various aspects of human cognition and scientific development, exploring how individuals and communities understand the world. Jean Piaget's "The Psychology of Intelligence" examines the biological and social foundations of intelligence, detailing its development through stages like sensori-motor, intuitive, and operational thought, emphasizing intelligence as an adaptive process of equilibrium between an organism and its environment. Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure o...

In this episode of "In the Interim…", Dr. Scott Berry chats with Frank Harrell, a professor of Biostatistics at Vanderbilt University and W.J. Dixon Award winner. Harrell describes his transition from frequentist to Bayesian clinical trial design, prompted by a decisive meeting with Dr. Don Berry, informed by David Spiegelhalter’s published work. The dialogue addresses persistent academic opposition to Bayesian methods, operational constraints in trial implementation, regulatory work at

Join Data Talks In this special edition of Data Talks, Wolfgang Fengler sits down with his long-time friend and World Data Lab co-founder, Homi Kharas. Homi reflects on his 26 years at the World Bank, his role in shaping the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and the origins of the “data revolution.” Together, Wolfgang and Homi revisit the dinner-table conversations that sparked the creation of World Data Lab, explore why making everyone count matters, and unpack Homi’s influential research ...

This episode dives into "Category-Theoretic Analysis of Inter-Agent Communication and Mutual Understanding Metric in Recursive Consciousness." The paper presents an extension of the Recursive Consciousness framework to analyze communication between agents and the inevitable loss of meaning in translation. We're thrilled to feature the paper's author, Stan Miasnikov, Distinguished Engineer, AI/ML Architecture, Consumer Experience at Verizon, to walk us through the research and its implications...

In this conversation, Eugenia Cheng discusses the importance of making math accessible and engaging for everyone, particularly those who have been discouraged by traditional education methods. She emphasizes the intersection of math and art, the dangers of oversimplifying complex issues with numbers, and the need for a more nuanced understanding of equality and fairness in society. Cheng also highlights the significance of mentorship and the impact of gender dynamics in mathematics, advocating for a

We had the privilege of hosting Peter Belcak – an AI Researcher working on the reliability and efficiency of agentic systems at NVIDIA – who walked us through his new paper making the rounds in AI circles titled “Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI.” The paper posits that small language models (SLMs) are sufficiently powerful, inherently more suitable, and necessarily more economical for many invocations in agentic systems, and are therefore the future of agentic AI.
