PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS It’s Flashcards Friday at Math Science History! I’m Gabrielle Birchak. If you’ve been with me this week and last week, you already know I have been deep in the world of game theory. And here’s the cool part, did you know that you are a game theorist. You’ve been doing it your whole life. Every negotiation every shortcut
PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS Welcome to Momentum Monday, the podcast where I turn math, science, and history into quick, actionable tips for your week. I’m Gabrielle Birchak and today I playing a different kind of game, the game of life. Game theory isn’t just for economists, coders or chess players.
