Episode 221: Mathematics Outside the Box

Not everyone loves math, so it’s a true joy to spend time with those who do. Peaking into the mystery and wonder of the order and beauty that Math can reveal, can really change our perspective and help us teach our children to appreciate the subject at a higher level. Susan Sucher is here today to open our eyes to Mathematics Outside the Box.
