In deze aflevering geven we een korte beschouwing op de miljoenennota: komt er een AI-fabriek in Nederland, waar gaat het mis met de CO2-heffing en gaan de onderwijsbezuinigingen alsnog van tafel? Ook bespreken we het verschil tussen academische vrijheid en vrijheid van meningsuiting en zoals altijd sluiten we weer af met boekentips!  Bronnen: [1] De Volkskrant  - Universiteiten zitten wel heel erg in de links kosmopolitische hoek [2] Delta - Over academische vrijheid [3] Peter Paul Verbeek, Rector

Sue Looney, Same but Different: Encouraging Students to Think Flexibly ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 2 Sometimes students struggle in math because they fail to make connections. For too many students, every concept feels like its own entity without any connection to the larger network of mathematical ideas.  On the podcast today, we’re talking with Dr. Sue Looney about the powerful same and different routine. We explore the ways that teachers can use this routine to help students identify

In this episode of Math Science History, we journey back to 8th-century England to uncover the story of Alcuin of York, a quiet but powerful force behind the Carolingian Renaissance. From his beginnings in the cathedral school of York to his influential role as Charlemagne’s advisor, Alcuin shaped the future of Western education, preserved ancient texts, and helped revive a culture of learning in a world on the brink of intellectual collapse. Discover how this humble teacher from northern England

A000344 counts a surprising blend of combinatorics and algebra. It arises as the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) that touch but never cross the line x - y = 2 (i.e., stay on or below x - y = 2), which is the 5-fold convolution of the Catalan numbers. Equivalently, it tallies standard Young tableaux of shape (n+2, n, 2), and its ordinary generating function is A(z) = z^2 C(z)^5, where C(z) is the Catalan generating function. We’ll sketch the combinatorial picture, connect to the 5-...

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

In this episode, Anna Rose and Guillermo Angeris speak with Bobbin Threadbare and Gaylord Warner from Miden to explore their zkVM and edge blockchain architecture. The group also reminisces on how they've each been a part of the ZK Whiteboard Sessions over the years.Bobbin shares Miden's earliest beginnings from Winterfell at Facebook through its development within Polygon to the recent spin-out as an independent project. The team discusses their custom ISA designed for blockchain use cases, and

Neste episódio semanal, você irá conhecer um pouco sobre os Modelos lineares generalizados ou GLM são uma forma de modelagem estatística avançada, especialmente em distribuições não normais.

Here we dive into one of the most timely and important topics in tech: Trustworthy AI. What does it really mean for artificial intelligence to be “trustworthy”? And why should it matter to you? To help us unpack these questions, we’re joined by Farhana Faruqe, a data scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur, specializing in research related to Trustworthy AI, and Dr. Larry Medsker, a leading expert in AI ethics and policy. With experience in neural

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

The provided excerpts offer a comprehensive look at the challenges of building a new socialist society in post-revolutionary Russia, primarily through the lens of Leon Trotsky's writings and related analysis of the 1920s Soviet period. Trotsky’s texts, including excerpts from Problems of Everyday Life, address the necessity of transforming both the material conditions (like improving technology, literacy, and fighting "red tape") and the cultural-moral fabric of the working class, stressing t...

We unpack how raising the rooted-tree generating function B(x) to the fifth power counts linear forests of five rooted trees, and the surprising equivalence with five rooted paths. We'll recap the building blocks—rooted trees, forests, and linear forests (paths) with no branches—and explain why B(x)^5 enumerates the same structures as five-path forests. Then we pose the natural follow-up question for the audience: what does B(x)^2 count? Answer: the number of forests with exactly two componen...

While Western philosophy often prizes individual reason and abstract truth, many non-Western traditions share a profound and unifying goal: the cultivation of a harmonic and humane existence. This pursuit is not about isolating the mind but about integrating the individual into a wider whole—community, cosmos, and the self. In Confucianism, harmony is achieved through ethical relationships and ritual, creating a stable, compassionate society. Daoism seeks alignment with the effortless flow o...

David A. Noever and Forrest McKee are researchers at PeopleTec, where they work on problems at the intersection of security, defense, and AI/ML. Today David joined us to present their joint work Infecting Generative AI with Viruses. This was a really great presentation that took a rigorous approach to defining the security boundaries and limitations of AI tools, and it fostered one of the better discussions we've hosted in a while. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
