Mathematical Moments from the American Mathematical Society
American Mathematical Society
The American Mathematical Society's Mathematical Moments program promotes appreciation and understanding of the role mathematics plays in science, nature, technology, and human culture. Listen to researchers talk about how they use math, from creating realistic animation to beating cancer.
This podcast views the patterns that exist in the chaos of American life. These patterns are called fractals. The nature of fractals is explored in both 4D TimeSpace and 3D SpaceTime. Patterns repeat in multiple dimensions of human existence. The entire fabric of the universe is constructed from these repeating cycles of geometric forms. Fractals are mathematical reflections of art. These forms express Life in all of its myriad number of expressions and phases. A simple formula of self-simil ...
This is the Goodwind. Niko is a popular Tik Tok (@niko_is) video creator, chemist, cancer survivor, psychonaut, traveller, dancer and martial artist bringing authenticity by sharing his experiences and 'scientific' findings. Although this show is for entertainment, Niko finds it important to talk about sexuality and consciousness to educate, lower shame and increase self-esteem of the Goodwind's viewers. Niko's overarching purpose is to bring the American Buffalo population back to the Great ...

Stacey Finley from University of Southern California discusses how mathematical models support the research of cancer biology. Cancer research is a crucial job, but a difficult one. Tumors growing inside the human body are affected by all kinds of factors. These conditions are difficult (if not impossible) to recreate in the lab, and using real pat…
Rodney Kizito from U.S. Department of Energy discusses solar energy, mathematics, and microgrids. When you flip a switch to turn on a light, where does that energy come from? In a traditional power grid, electricity is generated at large power plants and then transmitted long distances. But now, individual homes and businesses with solar panels can…

Tim Chumley explains the connections between random billiards and the science of heat and energy transfer. If you've ever played billiards or pool, you've used your intuition and some mental geometry to plan your shots.
