    Aperiodcast – MathsJam 2013!

    We haven’t done one of these for absolutely ages. Since all three of us were at the big MathsJam conference a couple of weekends ago, we decided to introduce a local minimum into the fun curve by sitting down and talking about how this site’s doing. Actually, we ended up talking about the MathsJam baking…

    Aperiodcast – 11/02/2013

    Two days late, because that is the way we rotate here, it’s another episode of our sporadic navel-gazing podcast. In this episode we talked about: Our piece on the Invariant Subspace Problem (and the more recent news) Log-log! Who’s there? Not a power law! Our coverage of the new Mersenne Prime news, and our meta-coverage of everyone…

    Aperiodcast – MathsJam 2012!

We talked about: Christian’s Recreational Maths Seminar Dara O Briain: School of Hard Sums to return; maths students sought to take part Matt Parker’s…

    Aperiodcast – 09/09/2012

    Leaves are falling, a chilly wind is blowing and I can hear the distant thunder of undergrads’ hooves as they stampede towards my department. Yes, Summer is giving way to Autumn, so it’s time for another Aperiodcast. If you had “42 days” in the “when will the next Aperiodcast appear” sweepstake, report to the comments…

    Aperiodcast – 29/07/2012

    Here’s the fifth Aperiodcast, covering what’s happened on the site basically since the start of Summer. Peter is busy doing work, so it was just Katie and me blathering on about a variety of things. The posts discussed in this episode were: Telegraph’s open letter to Michael Gove and Vince Cable on numeracy (presented with…

    Aperiodcast – 3/6/2012

    After an unexpectedly long wait of over three weeks, here’s the third Aperiodcast, discussing what’s happened on the site between 13/5/2012 and 3/6/2012. You’ll notice that we recorded this podcast four days ago – we were all having too much jubilee fun to find time to upload it! Anyway, we had lots to talk about,…

    Aperiodcast – 13/5/2012

    In true Aperiodical fashion, we left 13 days before recording another Aperiodcast, so here’s what we think about the last almost-two-weeks on the site. We talked about: “Futurama theorem” slightly improved The number line is not an intuitive concept Grow Your Own Food Puzzlebomb – May 2012 Carnival of Mathematics 86 Charlotte Hillebrand’s post with…

    The Aperiodcast – week of 23/4/2012

    Here’s the very first edition of what we’ve cleverly decided to call The Aperiodcast. The plan is to record a short podcast every week or week-and-a-bit (this is the Aperiodical after all) talking about what’s been happening on the site, and pointing out posts that we found particularly interesting or have generated a lot of…
