Samuel Hansen is joined by Scott Aaronson, Professor of Computer Science at MIT. Their covers how Nintendo can lead to a career in theoretical computer science, a clear definition of Quantum Computing and its importance, and finally why a person would wager $200,000 that a P vs. NP proof was false. Scott Aaronson also writes a very cogent and wonderful blog, is the mind behind Complexity Zoo, and has many more interesting things available on his website.

(via http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rudich/)
On today’s podcast is the first part of an interview that your host Samuel Hansen conducted with Carnegie Mellon professor Steven Rudich. In this part of their discussion Professor Rudich discusses why he went into mathematics and the problem that really sparked his interest in theoretical computer science. To find out more about Professor Rudich please visit his website. Don’t forget to stay tuned for the second part of this interview, available from ACMEScience next week.
SCC 32: Steven Rudich Part IMath/Maths Videos
0Not too long ago I took a trip to Nottingham, England to visit my Math/Maths co-host Peter Rowlett. While I was there Peter took me on a tour of his city hitting all of the Mathematical and Computing history hot spots. So, of course we made videos of this tour.
