Combinations and Permutations Episode 62: Jeff Goldblum on a Tilt-a-Whirl
0On today’s Combinations and Permutations your host Samuel Hansen is joined by Brandon Metz, Sean Breckling, and Juan Mariscal for a conversation that was doomed from the start thanks to its sensitivity to initial conditions. In one of the most tangential conversations in months they try to talk about chaos, but get so often derailed it is hard to tell if they even remember the topic by the end. Also, please remember to send your I listen and I hate you emails to be entered into the drawing for a signed picture of Samuel getting stomped on.
Topics Discussed:
Chaos Theory
Strange Attractors
Tilt-a-Whirls (Part 2)

Combinations and Permutations Episode 56: 8 and a 1/2 Years
0On today’s episode of Combinations and Permutations Samuel Hansen got together Anthony Sellari and Steven Fisher to talk about a subject that they all know way too much about Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Disclaimer: This episode involves much belly aching and yelling about the horribleness of graduate school, it is not meant to influence any undergraduate student’s in any way and all of the opinions offered in the podcast are those of the disgruntled graduate students who said them. Really we want to go to graduate school and amaze us with your mathematical skills, really join us.
