|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5/21/25 | Episode 95 - Kyne Santos | Kyne Santos, a drag queen and mathematics educator living in Canada, is a big fan of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Also hiking. | — | ||||||
| 2/6/25 | Episode 94 - Jeremy Alm | Jeremy Alm likes the Rado graph, a weird object that captures all sorts of interesting properties of finite graphs. Also cheese. | — | ||||||
| 12/2/24 | Episode 93 - Robin Wilson | Robin Wilson likes the Hopf Index Theorem and we agree. Also, hot fudge. | — | ||||||
| 6/10/24 | Episode 92 - Kate Stange | Kate Stange is a number theorist who loves quadratic forms (and who doesn't, really). Her favorite theorem is the bijection between them and ideal classes. Also chocolate. | — | ||||||
| 4/3/24 | Episode 91 - Karen Saxe | Karen Saxe is an analyst who spends her days representing mathematics on Capitol Hill. She really likes the isoperimetric inequality and its many uses. Also tennis. | — | ||||||
| 1/23/24 | Episode 90 - Corrine Yap | Corrine Yap loves math, graph theory in particular, and also loves to perform her one-person play about Sonya Kovalevskaya. Also, tofu. | — | ||||||
| 11/12/23 | Episode 89 - Allison Henrich | Allison Henrich studies knots and her favorite theorem is about how one might unknot a knot. Also, music. | — | ||||||
| 10/9/23 | Episode 88 - Tom Edgar | We all know the (probably apocryphal) story of Gauss adding up the first 100 positive integers as a child. Well, Tom Edgar really likes this result and will be happy to tell you about dozens of different ways to prove it. Also, Groundhog Day. | — | ||||||
| 9/7/23 | Episode 87 - Tatiana Toro | Tatiana Toro is a geometer and therefore loves the ur-theorem of geometry, "due" to Pythagoras. She also likes to walk. | — | ||||||
| 7/20/23 | Episode 86 - Sarah Hart | Gresham Professor of Geometry Sarah Hart likes cycloids and we talk at length about all their fascinating properties. Also, Moby Dick (or The Whale). | — | ||||||

| 6/2/23 | Episode 85 - Matthew Kahle | Euler's polyhedral formula continues to amaze Matthew Kahle as he finds it showing up in different places in mathematics. Also, Bach. | — | ||||||
| 5/2/23 | Episode 84 - The Students of TCU | Kevin visited Texas Christian University in March and recorded this episode with some math students. Excellent theorems and pairings. | — | ||||||
| 2/16/23 | Episode 83 - Cihan Bahran | Cihan Bahran has a popular twitter feed in which he shares surprising theorems. His favorite? Matrix mortality is undecidable. | — | ||||||
| 12/30/22 | Episode 82 - Juliette Bruce | Juliette Bruce is an algebraic geometer who loves to think about embedding curves in projective space. Also mountaineering. | — | ||||||
| 11/26/22 | Episode 81 - Christopher Danielson | Technically this is a theorem, but it seems so obvious that it's unclear that it needs a proof. In this episode Christopher Danielson points out that polygons have same number of sides as vertices. Many shapes make an appearance. | — | ||||||
| 10/21/22 | Episode 80 - Kimberly Ayers | Kimberly Ayers likes dynamics and so obvs her fave theorem is Sharkovskii's result that "period 3 implies chaos." Also taffy. | — | ||||||
| 9/15/22 | Episode 79 - Philip Ording | Philip Ording wrote a cool book (you should check it out) and he likes the Erlangen Program. Not really a theorem, but we're not purists around here. | — | ||||||
| 8/11/22 | Episode 78 - Daina Taimina | Daina Taimina is famous for her adventures in mathematical crocheting, but her favorite theorem comes from Desargues. She also likes to travel. | — | ||||||
| 7/13/22 | Episode 77 - Tien Chih | Tien Chih loves combinatorics, which means he really loves proving things by induction. In this episode we have a good time learning about this incredibly useful technique in mathematics. | — | ||||||
| 6/9/22 | Episode 76 - Math Students of CSULA | We are joined by a group of math students at Cal State University in Los Angeles for a diverse collection of theorems and pairings. | — | ||||||
| 3/17/22 | Episode 75 - Dave Kung | We can't believe it took 75 episodes to get to the Banach-Tarski paradox, but finally Dave Kung chose it as his favorite theorem. Also, Enigma Variations. | — | ||||||
| 2/11/22 | Episode 74 - Priyam Patel | An old favorite theorem makes its third appearance on the pod, but we always like to learn new points of view. Priyam Patel likes the Brouwer Fixed Point theorem, and this time we learn how it helps classify isometries of hyperbolic space. Also, rock climbing. | — | ||||||
| 1/13/22 | Episode 73 - Courtney Gibbons | Courtney Gibbons likes isomorphism theorems. All three of them, in fact, and she wants to remind you they are due to Emmy Noether, despite most textbooks ignoring that fact. Also, bunnies. | — | ||||||
| 12/10/21 | Episode 72 - Kameryn Williams | Kameryn Williams is a logician and their favorite theorem is the less well-known Condensation Lemma of Gödel. Also brie. | — | ||||||
| 11/11/21 | Episode 71 - Emily Howard | Composer Emily Howard uses mathematical objects and ideas as inspiration for her orchestral and chamber pieces. In this episode we talk to her about "Torus" which was inspired by work with dynamicists. | — | ||||||
