Customer Reviews
Wonderful
Amazing show. I’m tearing through it and just loving the stories of these people and their relationship to maths. Brady’s interview style is just perfect and I think this just goes the extra step in what Numberphile has been doing for years; highlighting the beauty of maths and Mathematicians
Absolutely horrendous
I cannot believe I even tried to listen to this garbage. They have absolutely no idea how to teach math, stick to YouTube.
Absolutely Brilliant
I wondered how this might fare in the podcast format, but I shouldn't have doubted Brady's interviewing skills. This format has led to some brilliant interviews and conversations around maths. As an elementary teacher who loves math, the Numberphile YouTube channel was a great source of interesting ideas with which to challenge my students. Now retired, and teaching candidate teachers, this podcast has given me a wealth of ideas for my budding teachers.
