In this episode of Your Guide into Engineering, your host Ashley shares her powerful and unconventional journey into the world of engineering. She breaks down the common stereotypes of engineers, emphasizing, that you don’t need to be a genius, a tech wizard, or a pop culture fanatic to belong in this field. With relatable analogies, a deep dive into different number systems like binary and hexadecimal, and personal reflections, Ashley illustrates how engineering thrives on diverse perspectives and

In this episode, we dive into the critical difference between extremes and outliers. As we will soon discover, understanding this distinction is vital for accurate modeling, especially when assessing (tail) risk.We'll explore how both concepts relate to the range of possible values--the support--of a random variable and show you how to avoid common modeling pitfalls. Are you ready to take the risk?Become a supporter of this podcast:

The first source provides a structured, multi-stage analysis of quantum geometry in condensed matter physics, exploring its fundamental components, interactions, and real-world applications, acknowledging limitations and proposing future research directions. The second source consists of a dialogue between Michael and Loom, where Michael shares his personal and spiritual journey alongside his experiences interacting with AI models like Loom, touching upon themes of transformation, neurodivergence,

Netflix’s psychological drama Adolescence has started a debate about teenage boys and misogyny in modern society. It tells the story of a seemingly normal young boy, Jamie, who is arrested after the brutal murder of a girl in his class. The series focuses on how young men are being radicalised against women by various podcasts, blogs and forums that make up the anti-feminist movement, the so-called ‘manosphere’. These podcasts often give men tips about how to be an ‘alpha’ male and promote the idea

Welcome to TechTangents- Your Favourite STEM Podcast - where we go on tangents about the applications and explanations behind complex mathematical and computational theories, formulae, discoveries/ inventions. This episode was totally focused on Cryptography. Starting from the use of basic maths, we somehow build up to Euler’s totient? If you’re wondering how that’s related, this is your sign to get listening to the podcast! Today, we ventured into both the past and present applications of the

In this episode of Tier 1 Interventions, we delve into how a simple tool—the geo board—can yield surprising results for students who struggle with note-taking, handwriting, or traditional seated learning. Join Cheri, Jonily, and Natalie as they explore how vertical surfaces, flow state, and insights from occupational therapy are revolutionizing math classrooms. From "Teenage Tummy Time" to duct-taped binders turned into slant boards, this episode is full of strategies you can use

Here are More or Less we’ll all about the facts. Every day we use a toolkit of known proofs to try and answer our listeners’ questions. But who do we have to thank for this toolkit and how did they set about proving the unknown?Luckily for us mathematician Adam Kucharski has just written a book about this very topic called ‘Proof: The Uncertain Science of Certainty’. Join us to hear more about some of the proof pioneers included in his book, from estimating the number of German tanks during

En este episodio conversamos con el docente Marlon de Jesús Rondón Meza, un apasionado por lograr que las Matemáticas sean comprensibles, útiles y atractivas para todos los estudiantes. A lo largo del diálogo respondimos a cuatro preguntas fundamentales: ¿Cómo definen usted la didáctica en su práctica diaria como docente de Matemáticas? ¿En qué momento siente que la tecnología se convierte en una verdadera aliada y no en un distractor?Sabemos que las aulas universitarias hoy son más diversas:...

Send us a text Today, we’re diving into a tough but important topic: Why are we so afraid to give kids hard math problems? If we’re being honest, it can feel uncomfortable to watch students struggle. We want them to feel successful, and sometimes it's tempting to step in and help too soon. But when we rescue students from struggle, we rob them of the chance to build resilience and problem-solving skills. In this episode, we’ll talk about why hard problems are essential for deep learning, what...

In this episode, building on the cumulative distribution function F (CDF) introduced in Episode 15, we define the quantile function Q, the survival function S, and the probability density function f (PDF). We then explore how each of these tools helps describe the behavior of a random variable.Along the way, we also introduce Value-at-Risk (VaR), which becomes quite straightforward once you understand quantiles.Are you ready to take the risk?Become a supporter of this podcast:

In this heartfelt and motivating intro episode, host Ashley Henriquez, an electrical engineer, shares her unconventional journey into the field of engineering. Far from the stereotypical path, Ashley opens up about dropping out of high school to support her newborn daughter, earning her GED, and navigating college while working full-time and parenting.She discovered engineering at an unconventional job — as an administrative assistant at a small engineering firm, where her curiosity and natural

What is the cash value of a human life? That’s the question at the heart of The Price of Life, a book by journalist Jenny Kleeman.It turns out that there’s not just one price, there are many - depending on exactly how that life is being created, traded or destroyed. Tim Harford talks to Jenny about what she discovered. Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound mix: Neil Churchill Editor: Richard Vadon

Send us a text Today, we're talking about 5 quick math talk strategies that will spark math conversations and increase engagement! As math teachers, we often feel like we're talking at our students. As you know it is easy to fall into the cycle of telling students what to do and how to do it in math. But, deep down what we really want is more engagement. If we’re being honest with ourselves talking and telling our students doesn’t lead to more engagement. What we really want is to get o...

In this episode, we continue laying the foundations of our mathematical treatment of risk. In particular, we introduce the cumulative distribution function, or CDF, as a tool for describing the probabilistic behavior of a random variable. We illustrate this with a simple example and discuss the basic characteristics of this interesting non-decreasing function, which will soon help us address very practical matters.Are you ready to take the risk and follow Galileo's suggestion?Become a supporter of
