Robert Devaney, Professor of Mathematics, is one of the most engaging and talented speakers in all of mathematics and Samuel Hansen was lucky enough to corner him during this past August’s MathFest to talk about his series of talks “Complex Dynamics and Crazy Mathematics”, why he decided to study Dynamical Systems, and how one mathematician can give over 1,400 invited lectures. You can find out more about Robert Devaney by visiting his website, and you can explore the wonderful images of Dynamical Systems by visiting The Dynamical Systems and Technology Project.

Paul Zorn is President-Elect of the Mathematical Association of America and professor at St. Olaf College. Dr. Zorn was kind enough to talk with Samuel Hansen during the annual Mathematical Association of America meeting, MathFest, in Pittsburgh this past August.  They spoke about the intersection of Mathematics and the Humanities, mathematical exposition, and the importance of using many different points of view when teaching the Calculus.  You can find out more about Paul Zorn by visiting his website.

Combinations and Permutations Episode 51: Experimentally Determinable

On the first episode back after a rather extended summer hiatus Samuel Hansen hosts the 51st, 2nd half of our first century here we come, episode with guests Christopher bates, Nathan Rowe, and Anthony Sellari. Together they discuss mathematical research, experimental mathematics, and the wonder that is the Polymath Project. Give it a listen, I know you will enjoy it.
