It’s Not Just Numbers

Auteur(s): Marcello Seri Marit van Straaten
  • Résumé

  • A podcast on mathematics and its human side. In a conversation with mathematicians, we address some common stereotypes and misconceptions, giving space to the people of mathematics. Each episode will start by getting to know the guests, their research, their drive and what they do outside mathematics. In the second half of the episode we will discuss together some theme related to mathematics and mathematicians. The podcast is produced by Marcello Seri and Marit van Straaten. Opinions are our own.

  • S01E8 – Studying Mathematics, the students’ perspective
    Jun 3 2024

    Welcome to the eight episode! This time we are joined by two Mathematics students, Naná Giadresco and Anna de Bruijn. They share their perspective as Mathematics students, as we discuss studying and teaching during the pandemic, expectations about studying Maths and who will be the co-host next year!

  • S1E07 - Probability vs Statistics with Gilles Bonnet and Marco Grzegorczyk
    May 3 2024

    Welcome to the sixth episode of It's Not Just Numbers! For this episode we challenged a probabilist, Gilles Bonnet, and a statistician, Marco Grzegorczyk, to sit in the same room and explain us the commonalities and differences among their disciplines.


    As usual we get to know our guests and then we head straight into the theme of the episode, exploring what probability and statistics are about and their complementary relationship, paving the road for some interesting future episodes.

  • S1E06 - Mathematics in the "real" world, with Cristóbal Bertoglio and Juan Peypouquet
    Apr 1 2024

    Welcome to the sixth episode of It's Not Just Numbers! Complementing last month’s episode, we are joined by Cristóbal Bertoglio and Juan Peypouquet to discuss the multifacet world of applied mathematics.


    We discuss why communicating as a researcher is more important than most people realise, and the idea that people cannot switch between different fields within mathematics.
