PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS It’s Flashcard Friday here at Math, Science, History, when on Fridays we post a short little flash card about something mathy, sciency, or history. I’m your host, Gabrielle Birchak, and I’m sharing a story about the life of a remarkable woman who made a profound, yet often overlooked, contribution to mathematics and education: Jacoba van den Brande. Though
Today, I travel back to the nineteenth century to meet with Pierre-Simon Laplace, a man who imagined a super-intelligence so powerful, it could calculate the entire history and future of the universe.
PODCAST TRANSCRIPTSDoes Math = Logic? Welcome to Math, Science, History, the podcast where we uncover the fascinating stories behind the numbers, the equations, and the discoveries that have shaped our world. I’m Gabrielle Birchak and today, we’re diving deep into the role of logic and argumentation in mathematics. How do mathematicians prove their theories? What makes an argument in math sound
The Origins of Boolean Logic Boolean logic was developed by George Boole, a self-taught mathematician and logician from England. Boole’s interest in logic began early, inspired by his father, a shoemaker with a passion for science and mathematics. In 1854, Boole published his seminal work, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, where he introduced an interesting concept where he
This Earth Day we’re going to talk about real, practical things people around the world are doing to make the Earth a better place.
