Customer Reviews
The life story of mathematicians
Interviews with contemporary mathematicians about their personal histories. At once soothing and inspiring, this a must listen for its glimpse into the personalities and process of (mainly) academic scientists. Brady’s interviews are not seeking to make some point, or satisfy an ideology. Rather they flow with a natural curiosity, and invite genuine responses from the guests.
Even better then what I saw from YouTube
Knew Number File from watching YouTube, this was even better then what I have seen on YouTube, guess the recommendations from YouTube hid this content from me.
Just to be clear this episode wasn’t shown to me on YouTube. I saw other videos on YouTube.
I……like it
It’s kinda good but I like YouTube’s version better
