Extra: How Does Pure Mathematics Shape Our World?
About this episode
Is maths just about numbers and equations? Not even close.
Today we’re exploring the hidden power of mathematical thinking with Junaid Mubeen, mathematician and author of Think Like a Mathematician.
From decoding conspiracy theories to escaping political echo chambers, calculus and dimensionality shape the way we see the world, even if we don’t realise it.
