Mathematics As Storytelling with Marcus du Sautoy
Chaos theory shows that both the future and the past are unknowable. Exponential growth always seems to be stymied by an unpredictable limitation that flattens the curve. Creativity happens when something is new, surprising, and has value. But how do we assign value when we are awash in a world of endless data? Mathematics is one universal storytelling language that can help decipher what the universe is telling us. In one of their most intriguing episodes yet, Sonja and Jamie talk edges, AI, creativity, and the melancholy of solving theorems with Marcus du Sautoy, a celebrated pattern-seeking mathematician deeply...

How to Use Math to Win the Games We Love — and Learn More About Ourselves
University of Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy loves games. He’s spent much of his career popularizing math — and for him, games are a way to “play mathematics.” But playing math might not be the first reason your nephew gives when you ask him why he loves video games, or your friend when she describes her undying love for “Risk”. There are elements of social psychology, from competition to collaboration, that also draw us toward getting the “Scrabble” board out of the closet and onto the dining room table. For many of us, games not only inform our identities — they build our sen...

Marcus du Sautoy doceert wiskunde in Oxford én is bovendien hoogleraar Wetenschaps-popularisatie. Hij smijt zich enthousiast in het publieke debat over wetenschap, maakte reeksen voor BBC, werd geëerd met een Order of the British Empire en schreef een wiskundig theaterstuk. Du Sautoy stelt zich constant vragen over onszelf en de wereld; én over wat we (niet) kunnen weten. Die eerste Kant-vraag is voor hem een levenshouding, die bepaalt hoe hij naar de werkelijkheid kijkt.

Marcus du Sautoy wasn't particularly good at maths at school; but a teacher spotted his aptitude for abstract thought and he started reading, and enjoying, journals filled with mathematical proofs. His thesis on the mathematics of symmetry launched him as a world class mathematician. And before he dies he wants to know: can you predict the properties of the next symmetrical object that could possibly exist in a hundred thousand dimensions or more? Marcus talks to Jim Al-Khalili about his passion for the performing arts, as well as mathematics; and why, for him, mathematics is as much a creative...
