Podcast Revealing How Math Drives the World
Carry the Two pulls back the curtain to reveal the mathematical and statistical gears that turn the world. An initiative of the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation, the podcast presents unique perspectives from the fields of mathematics and statistics and uses stories to convey how mathematical research drives the world around us. Each episode tackles a different topic—from modeling how bees in a swarm make group decisions to how we can use textual analysis to reveal surprising changes in policy documents.
The first episode features Professor Carrie Diaz Eaton, Associate Professor of Digital and Computational Studies at Bates College, who guides listeners through the analysis techniques she and her colleagues use to analyze language around equity and justice in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) education policy. Carry the Two can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you access your podcasts.
