Send us a text Imagine walking into a classroom where math doesn’t just happen on the board, but is a lively conversation in every corner. Mark Golden’s math classroom, especially during Word Problem Workshop (WPW), is where students actively engage, ask questions, and challenge each other’s thinking. The sounds of excited voices collaborating, the visuals of students working on complex problems together, and the palpable energy of intellectual curiosity make this classroom an exciting place ...

Alistair Lowe-Norris, Chief Responsible AI Officer at Iridius and co-host of The Agentic Insider podcast, joins to discuss AI compliance standards, the importance of narrowly scoping systems, and how procurement requirements could encourage responsible AI adoption across industries. We explore the gap between the empty promises companies provide and actual safety practices, as well as the importance of vigilance and continuous oversight.Listen to Alistair on his podcast, The Agentic

Publish or Purrish: The Cat Who Co-Authored Physics Episode Overview: In this episode of Math! Science! History!, we uncover the remarkable story of F.D.C. Willard, the Siamese cat who became a published co-author in a world-renowned physics journal. What began as a workaround for rigid authorship conventions turned into a beloved legend in science history. But Willard wasn’t alone. We also take a closer look at other non-human co-authors, from a dog in immunology, to a hamster in physics, and even

We unpack the looming threat of model collapse — when AI systems train on their own outputs and gradually forget how the real world works. From early-edge data decay to late-stage homogenization, we explore the math, the evidence in today’s LLMs, the debates on data provenance, and practical safeguards like watermarking and provenance tracking. Tune in for the stakes, the arguments, and what needs to change to keep AI learning from humans as well as machines. Note: This podcast was AI-genera...

We explore Seyfert galaxies—how a supermassive black hole powers a blazing nucleus inside a host galaxy, what distinguishes Type I and Type II Seyferts, and how a dusty torus unifies them through viewing angle. Dive into the accretion disk, broad-line and narrow-line regions, and what Seyferts reveal about galaxy evolution and the cosmic history of black hole growth. Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes. Please double-check any critical information. Sponsor...

This episode of Room to Grow, Curtis and Joanie speak with Pam Harris. Pam is well known and loved for her website, podcast, books, and conference sessions all based on her core belief that “Math is FigureOutAble.” Today’s discussion centers on Pam’s newest publication, Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Traps of Algorithms. Pam starts with three distortions about math that are common among teachers, students, and the population, and can impact how educators engage students with ...

Een andere aflevering dan gebruikelijk, want de verkiezingen komen er aan en digitalisering is toch één van de belangrijkste onderwerpen van deze verkiezingen! Of toch niet? Dat is natuurlijk migratie! En hoe dat komt, dat laat de speltheorie zien. Aan de hand van deze wiskundige discipline leggen we in deze aflevering uit hoe 'spelers' zoals politieke partijen en media strijden om de aandacht van de kiezer waardoor bepaalde onderwerpen meer gewicht krijgen In het eerste deel van de aflevering

In this live Tier 1 Interventions session, Cheri Dotterer and Jonily Zupancic take you inside a Level 2 Mastery Math Method class as they explore the classic Locker Problem — one of the “Dirty Dozen” reference tasks students revisit year after year.Jonily demonstrates how these timeless math tasks deepen logic, number sense, and symbolic understanding, while Cheri highlights how process time and conceptual exposure create space for authentic learning.Discover why exposure before mastery can

El material fuente, un extracto de una transcripción del video de IBM Technology titulado "What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?", explica un marco diseñado para mejorar la precisión y actualidad de los modelos de lenguaje grandes (LLMs). Marina Danilevsky, científica investigadora de IBM Research, describe cómo los LLMs a menudo presentan desafíos como proporcionar información desactualizada o carecer de fuentes para sus respuestas, lo que puede llevar a respuestas incorrectas o

Manon war beim HLF und berichtet, dass dort KI umfassend Thema war. Davon ausgehend werfen wir einen Blick auf die Auswirkungen von LLMs auf Forschung und Bildung.

This deep dive reveals how our foundational concepts of art, identity, and civilization in the 18th and 19th centuries were not organic developments but actively engineered constructs. The analysis begins by dismantling the myth of the apolitical Romantic poet, demonstrating how the material context of a poem’s publication—such as Coleridge’s work in a radical anthology or Keats’s in an anti-establishment journal—was a deliberate political act that shaped its original meaning and argument. Th...

In this episode, we speak with Ashmi Banerjee, a doctoral candidate at the Technical University of Munich, about her pioneering research on AI-powered recommender systems in tourism. Ashmi illuminates how these systems can address exposure bias while promoting more sustainable tourism practices through innovative approaches to data acquisition and algorithm design.  Key highlights include leveraging large language models for synthetic data generation, developing recommendation architectures that

Earlier this year the the anomalous mathematical patterns sci-art competition attracted some jaw-dropping entries. The competition was held in connection to the Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion research programme which took place at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) in Cambridge last year. In this episode of Maths on the Move we talk to Codina Cotar, who co-organised the INI programme and helped put on the competition. Codina explains the maths which served as

This deep dive explores how 20th-century avant-garde poets transformed poetry from sentimental expression into functional machinery. The analysis centers on William Carlos Williams' radical declaration that "a poem is a small or large machine made of words," examining how this engineering metaphor reshaped poetic practice across American and Russian literary movements. The conversation traces parallel developments where poets confronted modernity's chaos—industrialization, political upheaval,...
