Maths is so specific that often it takes you many years just to get to the boundary of the field. Aanalytic number theory is one example of a particularly hairy math people spend their entire phd on. The base ideas are simple, but the language that's necessary to express them in that simplicity is very non trivial. In a lot of ways, it's its kind of like computer science. You build on abstraction and abstraction, abstraction, abstraction,. untill you get to a point worried, like everything i to make sense.
In this week’s episode, we throwback to a sake-fueled conversation between Anna and returning guest Guillermo Angeris, recorded in April during DevConnect in Amsterdam. They cover Guillermo’s personal journey into math, math history in general, how to bring more people into the space and the potential opportunities and downsides of bringing some kinds of math mainstream. It is a bit of different one, but hope you enjoy!

Anoma is a suite of protocols that enable self-sovereign coordination. Their unique architecture facilitates efficiently the simplest forms of economic coordination such as two parties transferring an asset to each other. As well as more sophisticated ones like an asset agnostic bartering system involving multiple parties without direct “coincidence of wants”; or even more complex ones such as “N-party” collective commitments to solve multipolar traps – where any interaction can be performed with adjustable zero-knowledge privacy.
