    Episode 81 - The Frictionless History of Tribology

    The term Tribology was presented in a landmark report by the brilliant engineer Peter Jost in 1966. The primary components of tribology include friction, wear, and lubrication. Since  the Jost Report, this field study has altered the trajectory of engineering in spaceflight, aerospace, healthcare and green energy.  To read the podcast's transcripts, visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

    Episode 78 - The Story of Omar Khayyam

    Omar Khayyam was a brilliant mathematician in Iran in the 11th century. But, he was also an interdisciplinary thinker, which means that he was also an astronomer, a philosopher, a political advisor, and a poet. Even today his poems are read and revered around the world.  To read the podcast's transcripts and to see the noted math equations, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

    Episode 76 - Look out! It's Momentum!

    Momentum! It's a term used in wide variety of contexts, but in Physics it is defined as "mass in motion." It is the product of an objects mass times its velocity. In this podcast I go into its history...and it's future!  To read the podcast's transcripts and to see the noted math equations, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

    Episode 75 - Abstract Algebra Swimming and Rummikub

    My brain got away from me and I found myself going down a rabbit hole. While there, I revisited the math of Evariste Galois and his foundations to Abstract Algebra. I also ventured into the game Rummikub, the Olympics and swimming. Welcome to my brain.   To read the podcast's transcripts, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.
