David Perry: I would love from my math class, my college algebra class to have started with someone who's like, so infinity. And then I would enjoy that person saying, look, there's no way we'll ever, it's too big. It's too much. So let's go all the way back and we're going to just talk about binomials or whatever you do in the beginning. No, I wish it was more like that. There are many ways to teach any subject. But sometimes people who've wrotejust research works for our first stage,. The thing we've talked about here's... Then it's about trying to be so free from how much.
In this episode we explore the weirdness and wonder of Math Without Numbers with mathematician Milo Beckman who wrote a book about the math behind multiple infinities, strange topologies, and extra dimensions, all without using numbers to explain some of the most fascinating and complex ideas that usually only make sense when scribbled in strange notations on a blackboard.
