The TechEd PodcastLove It or Hate It: A Surprisingly Human (And Very Fun) Conversation About Math - Dr. Jordan Ellenberg, Mathematics Professor at the University of WisconsinWhat happens when a world-class mathematician meets ’80s college radio, Bill Gates’ top-10 favorite books, and a host with an algebra redemption arc? A surprisingly funny, fast-moving conversation. Dr. Jordan Ellenberg—John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at UW–Madison and author of How Not to Be Wrong—swaps stories about The Housemartins, consulting on NUMB3RS (yes, one of his lines aired), and competing at the International Mathematical Olympiad. There’s a lot of laughter—and a fresh way to see math as culture, craft, and curiosity.But we also get practical about math education. We discuss the lo...

Zwischen Zwei Deckeln072 – "Die Faltung der Welt" von Anders Levermann
Auch letztes Mal ging es um Bewältigungsstrategien für globale Probleme wie die Klimakrise. Nach dem marxistischen Ansatz folgt nun ein technischerer Denkansatz.
In “Die Faltung der Welt” schlägt Anders Levermann vor zur Lösung unserer Probleme neue Blickwinkel zu entwickeln. Ausgehend von der mathematischen Idee der Faltung als Grenzsetzung, die innerhalb der Grenzen große Freiheiten erlaubt, sieht er die Möglichkeiten viele aktuelle und akute Probleme durch (teilweise) neue Ansätze gewinnbringend zu lösen.

- ถ้าเราสังเกตกันให้ดี ๆ ว่าทุกสรรพสิ่งมีเหตุผลของมัน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเรื่องของรูปทรงรวมไปถึงรูปร่างหน้าตา
- ทำไมกล่องต้องเป็นสี่เหลี่ยม ทำไมจานต้องเป็นวงกลม และทำไมมือของเราต้องเป็นรูปแบบนี้ หนังสือเล่มนี้มีคำตอบ
- ปัญหาของเลขาคณิตคือเราไม่รู้ว่ามันเกิดขึ้นมาจากอะไร แต่ว่ามันมีสิ่งที่อยู่เบื้องหลังนั่นคือ ความสมมาตรกัน
- หากไม่มีอะไรสมมาตร เราจะไม่สามารถดำรงชีวิตอยู่ได้ ลองดูว่าถ้ารูปทรงหนึ่งไม่ได้ออกแบบเพื่อสิ่งนี้จริง ๆ มันจะไม่ค่อยมีประโยชน์เท่าที่ควร

City Cast MadisonHow We Know Wisconsin’s Maps are GerrymanderedPolitical parties have long known that controlling WHO can vote in an election carries a strategic advantage. Pick your voters, win your election. Hence, we fight over maps. Data science has made it easier than ever to create maps designed to ensure political outcomes. We now have fewer political districts that look like odd-shaped creatures and more that come from strategic targeting of voters based on data profiles and algorithms. Princeton University’s Gerrymandering Project calls Wisconsin’s political maps “some of the most extreme partisan gerrymanders in the United States.” The U.S. Supreme Court decl...

But even fairly-drawn boundaries can end up quite complex, so how do we know that a given map is unfairly skewed? Math comes to the rescue. We can ask whether the likely outcome of a given map is very unusual within the set of all possible reasonable maps.

The book, called Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else, takes that subject so many people had problems with in middle school or high school and shows even the most casual reader that we all have a feel for geometry somewhere inside us-- even if we don't think we do.

If you're like most people, geometry is a dimly remembered exercise you gladly left behind in the dust of ninth grade. It's plodding through a series of miniscule steps only to prove some fact about triangles that was obvious to you in the first place. That's not geometry.

Master of Life Awareness 🧠"How To Never Be Wrong" by Jordan Ellenberg - Book ReviewSee the hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of our world. It’s a science of not being wrong, hammered out by centuries of hard work and argument. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see through to the true meaning of information we take for granted: How early should you get to the airport? What does “public opinion” really represent? Why do tall parents have shorter children? Who really won Florida in 2000? And how likely are you, really, to develop cancer?

אסור להשוותפרק 25: תסמונת המתחזה זה כמו למידת מכונההאם אתם מרגישים לפעמים כמו מתחזים? כאילו עוד רגע מישהו יקלוט שכל ההישגים שלכם הם תוצאה של מזל? אם כן, אז אתם תזדהו עם צחי (שם בדוי), ששאל אותנו: איך מתמודדים עם "תסמונת המתחזה"?
אורן טוען שהבעיה של צחי היא מחסור במידע. כמו מחשב שמנסה ללמוד לנהוג, צחי מתמודד עם מצב שבו המשוב מגיע במרחק גדול מההחלטות שהוא מקבל, ולכן קשה לו להבין אם הוא צדק או טעה. אורן מייעץ לצחי למצוא מנטור, שייתן לו משוב מיידי וספציפי יותר.
חגי חושב שהבעיה של צחי היא שהוא משווה את עצמו לאחרים בצורה שגויה, וכך יוצר לעצמו אשליה של נחיתות. הוא מספר על "הטיית ההישרדות", שכמעט הובילה למוות של טייסים במלחמת העולם השניה, וממשיכה לבלבל אותנו עד היום. חגי מציע לצחי להבין יותר טוב את הקשיים והבעיות של האנשים שסביבו, כדי שההשוואות שהוא יעשה יהיו יותר מציאותיות.

This practice, known as "p-hacking," is rampant, as argued by a mathematician known as Jordan Ellenberg, whose book Deondre' read recently, and whose talk on the subject is linked below.

Jordan and I discussed some of the mathematical muddles we get into in politics, economics, finance and scientific research and how we can do better.

This is one of those rare books that belong on the reading list of every educated person, especially those who love mathematics, but more importantly, those who hate it. Ellenberg succeeds in explaining the value of mathematical reasoning without ever needing to go into technical detail, which makes the book ideal for those who want to learn why mathematics is so important. What makes the book doubly delightful is Ellenberg’s writing style; he intersperses the math with a...
