Let’s get in touch
We are always looking for guests, pure mathematicians who can step back from their specialty and speak to a general audience. Guests and co-hosts appear by phone. Most episodes are about 15 minutes. Here are some things we might discuss:
- How did you first get interested in math?
- Why did you decide to go into math?
- How do you explain what you do to non-mathematicians?
- How do you explain why you do it?
- How do you visualize abstract mathematical objects?
- What are some of the stereotypes or assumptions you’ve heard about mathematicians?
- What are some misconceptions about math or mathematicians that you’d like to correct?
- Does your spouse understand what you do?
- Why do you do something no one understands?
- What do you tell people when they ask what it’s used for?
- Is math really an art?
- Any books, films, problems, etc. to recommend that convey the art of mathematics to non-mathematicians?
- Any mathematical concepts that are intrinsically interesting and accessible?
In any case, we’d be interested in your ideas for topics or guests or comments on any of our shows.
