Geometry is built into our bodies ais part of the way we perceive the world. We fundamentally are always asking, where are things? Where are they going? What do they look like? Those are all geometric questions. But if we hadn't made that leap into formality a then we would be able to do then weould be limited by what our bodies can do.
In this episode, we sit down with Jordan Ellenberg, the John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
His writing has appeared in Slate, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, and he is the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Be Wrong – but in this episode we will discuss his new book, Shape: The hidden geometry of information, biology, strategy, democracy and everything else.
