Susan Valot narrates in-depth news episodes based on Quanta Magazine's articles about mathematics, physics, biology and computer science.

Interviews with Mathematicians about their New Books

Have you ever wondered why you learned integration at school? Do you wake in a cold sweat at night, worried all that time spent looking at fractions may have wasted your youth? Are you currently sitting in a maths lesson asking how this will be relevant in your adult life? If you are, stop looking at your phone and listen to your teacher. But afterward, join Hugo, Emily, and Day as they dive head first into High School Mathematics.  What's the Point of Algebra? It is a podcast for anyone who ever has, or ever will, study maths at school (aka anyone ever). Each week we choose a new subject from the Edexcel GCSE Higher Mathematics textbook*, chat about it, and try desperately to understand how it applies to the average adult life. Which it does, sometimes… Honestly!  From calculating the probability of winning the lottery to guessing how much the weekly shop will cost, we are determined to find out, What's the Point of Algebra?  *We are in no way associated with Edexcel and are confident that they'd be furious to find out we're trying to make their textbook interesting

Tired of being confused about math? The Powers of Math podcast explains basic Algebra concepts in a straightforward way and discusses practical applications of math in business and everyday life.

"Easy Physics" is a podcast that delves into the bizarre and fascinating world of this amazing science. Join us as we use humor and plain language to explore many foundamental principles, and learn about each one of them in a few minutes. From particles that exist in multiple places at once to the immensity of the cosmos, we'll take a lighthearted look at the most mind-bending concepts in physics.

These interesting podcasts come from the University of Utah Department of Physics and Astronomy and describe how physics is utilized by the human body for every day activities like blood pressure, running vision, breathing, and hearing.  They talk about how strokes are caused, blisters are formed ,how sun screens work and how diseases are caused.   Listen as Richard ingebretsen MD, PhD helps us understand how physics helps to operate our bodies.

Jim Rantschler and Randy Morrison discuss physics from elementary particles to cosmological effects at the limits of our theoretical knowledge or have recently emerged.

This course provides an introduction to the quantitative methods social scientists use to collect and evaluate empirical data about society. Through this course you will learn to gather, describe, and analyze data with an emphasis on the application and interpretation of these methods. This course will also help you to be a more informed and critical reader of academic research, public opinion polling, and advertisement claims that present statistical evidence.

Audio Production by Kiehl Carlquist

A podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way.
