Maths at: The Number 23

منذ 4 years

—

Did you know that: the Earth tilts at 23 degrees on its axis? (Well it's actually closer to 23.5 and degrees are an arbitrary unit of measurement); 2 divided by 3 is 0.666 recurring? (Although if you round it properly it would be 0.667, which is the Devil's next door neighbour); if you rearrange the letters in "The Number Twenty Three" you get "This is all Hogwash"? Isn't numerology incredible? This week we watched Joel Schumacher's 23rd film: " The Number 23 ", starring Jim Carrey. And we ask, perhaps, the most important question of all - was this film actually a secret sequel to Ace Ventura Pet Detective? We're through the looking glass here people! If you're interested in watching The Number 23 then please recondsider watching Paddington ( one or two , they're both good.) Your regulars, Thomas and Ben are joined by Hannah Veale and you can either tickle your eyeballs and/or your ear drums. We're so good to you. Further reading: How do you spot a conspiracy theory?

Maths at: Bitcoin

منذ 4 years

—

It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform all of our viewers and listeners that The Wonderful Liz, otherwise known as Lydia Menzies passed away in late 2020. Lydia, by her own choice, wanted to be enigmatic. So although you gained glimpses into her past career as a school teacher you rarely got insight into the funny, passionate and ebullient life that she lived. Which is a great shame, because her impact on the lives around her was tremendous. So much so that she even received tributes in the house of commons from Angus MacNeil and Jacob Rees-Mogg . A fundraising page for Breast Cancer Now was set up in her honour and we hope that you are able to donate whatever you can to this cause. This podcast covers the maths of bitcoin and guest stars one of Lydia's oldest friends, Duncan Coutts , who is currently developing one of the bitcoin alternatives. Did we learn what bitcoin is? Or did we just start to question all money? Join us in Lydia's final podcast. We hope you enjoy it . Further reading: What on earth is Haskell ?

Maths at: Fantasy Football (Part 1)

WELCOME TO A NEW DIMENSION OF MATHS AT: We recorded our first ever video, so that we may delight your eyes, as well as your ear canals. However, for those of you still living in the 20th century we've stripped the video off. Of course, you'll miss the visual tom foolery, but we're sure that your imagination can fill in the blanks. Fantasy football is the name of the game today and your regulars Ben and Thomas are joined by the knowledgable Hannah Veale and the intriguing Josh Bull. Josh recently topped the Fantasy Premier League and we though we'd take the time to interview him about his secrets. At least, that was the plan. Unfortunately, the idea of "fantasy" led Thomas astray. So if you're interested in knowing the answers to such questions as: Why isn’t Gandalf available in fantasy football? Would Gandalf would be a good striker? Would Gandalf be a good head of a university? Then we're the podcast for you! Further reading: Josh Bull's twitter account contains all the latest Fantasy Football tips and tricks (may actually just be mathematical musings).

Maths at... proudly* sponsored by Prof. Elizabeth Baldwin ! *we have no idea of how proud she is. Care to sponsor an episode? It'll cost you 77p! Sorry about the quality of Thomas' microphone, he had trouble recording. Won't happen again (until the next). This week we watched Contact and are joined, once again, by Dr William Taylor His enthusiasm is so infectious! So whilst he tried to educate us, we try to divert his attention with such discussion points as: Spice girls! A very strong start? We didn't do the "you can't be Sirius Joke!" (Although I did, but no-one laughed so I cut it. But feel free to add it back in... you'll know when). Jane Fonda, or Jodie Foster? Thomas is tired, Liz is Pregnant and Ben can't find his mass, can you find it? If you're interested in watching Contact you can follow the Amazon link below.
