درباره این اپیزود
Gauss famously described mathematics as the queen of the sciences. But how should we think of this discipline? Is it an aloof ruler, mysteriously governing the laws of nature? A vital tool for bettering our lot? Or a story that helps us understand nature?
Professor Minhyong Kim directs the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences and the Centre for Mathematics for Humanity in Edinburgh. He is an accomplished number theorist — particularly within the field of diophantine equations (the Kim in Chabauty-Kim). And a best-selling author on popular mathematics in Korea.

Things happen. Or they don’t. How then should we make sense of claims that something might happen?

Our guest is Alastair Wilson, a professor of…
The launch of ChatGPT was a "Sputnik moment". In making tangible decades of progress it shot AI to the fore of public consciousness. This attention is accelerating AI development as dollars are poured into scaling models.
What is the next stage in this journey? And where is the destinat…
Words. (Huh? Yeah!) What are they good for? Absolutely everything.
At least this was the view of some philosophers early in the 20th century, that the world was bounded by language. ("The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" to use Wittgenstein's formulation over the Edwin Starr adapt…
Physics helps get stuff done. Its application has put rockets in space, semiconductors in phones, and eclipses on calendars.
For some philosophers, this is all physics offers. It is a mere instrument, albeit of great power, giving us control over tangible things. It is a set of gears and widg…
