Math/Maths History Tour of Nottingham - George Green: Miller, Mathematician, and Physicist samuelmhansen 2011-03-21 | George Green (1793-1841) was a miller in Sneinton, Nottingham who worked in his spare time to develop mathematics that, although unrecognised in his own lifetime, has been very useful to mathematics since. His work was rediscovered by Lord Kelvin and applied first to electromagnetism, later even to Nobel Prize-winning work in quantum theory, and continues to be useful to physicists and mathematicians today. When Samuel Hansen visited Peter Rowlett in Nottingham, Peter took Samuel on a mathematics and computing history tour of the city. In this video, Peter takes Samuel to visit some of the sites from Green's life in Nottingham, including Green's windmill, Nottingham's mathematical playground, Nottingham High School and the Bromley House Library. Listen to Samuel and Peter on the Math/Maths Podcast, a weekly maths news roundup from Pulse-Project.org. Samuel Hansen's visit to the UK and associated activities were supported by: University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of Greenwich, University of Leicester Mathsoc, Nottingham Trent University, MathsJam, Nottingham High School, Bromley House Library and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
Relatively Prime Patreon samuelmhansen 2016-11-11 | Relatively Prime is the only podcast which features the best stories from the Mathematical Domain.After a break that went on far too long Relatively Prime is ready to bring mathematics back to everyone with headphones.The 3rd season of Relatively Prime is going to be a bit different though. For the first two seasons host and producer Samuel funded Relatively Prime through Kickstarter. This meant Samuel retreated to his cave for months and months to make the show. Which is all well and good but, what were you supposed to do in the long mathless months waiting for episodes to start? Especially as we all knew that once they did show up all the mathematical stories were going to be gone less than two months.That is why Samuel now plans to take Relatively Prime monthly.This is going to mean a change in format too. In order to maintain a monthly release schedule the shows are going to focus on telling a single story, instead of a bunch all on a single theme. While this does mean shorter episodes, it also means much more focus on the one story being told.(Samuel here breaking the fourth wall to share a secret with you inside these parentheses. When the Kickstarter for season 3 failed to reach its goal I essentially wrote off doing any more Relatively Prime, but it is because of all of you who have reached out and said you want to hear more episodes and would support this wonderful work I love to do so much that I am going to bring back the show. Really all the kind words meant so much and I can't wait to give y'all more awesome mathematics stories to listen to.)So if you enjoy mathematics or stories or mathematical stories please pledge to support the 3rd season of Relatively Prime. Any amount helps! Any amount at all, and the more patrons Relatively Prime gets the more time Samuel will be able to spend spreading the wonderful word of mathematics. (Samuel breaking the 4th wall again here. This last sentence is super true as I do have a primary job which involves making people coffee in order to pay the bills, but the more bills I can pay from making the show the more days I can devote to producing and telling mathematical stories.) Plus, you will get a cool reward when you do pledge and everyone likes getting a little something(the reward levels are cumulative too, so you will get everything from the levels before the one you choose too!).Thank you so much for your support, and have a matheriffic day!
Math/Maths Teaser Video samuelmhansen 2011-03-25 | When Samuel Hansen visited Peter Rowlett in Nottingham, Peter took Samuel on a mathematics and computing history tour of the city. Here is a video that gives you a sample of what you can see in the videos they made during the tour.
Math/Maths History Tour of Nottingham - When Einstein came to town samuelmhansen 2011-03-21 | Albert Einstein visited Nottingham in 1930 to give a lecture on his new theories of relativity at University College, Nottingham. The blackboard he used was varnished over and preserved, and a scrapbook of newspaper clippings is full of stories. When Samuel Hansen visited Peter Rowlett in Nottingham, Peter took Samuel on a mathematics and computing history tour of the city. In this video, Peter takes Samuel to the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham to see Einstein's blackboard and find out what happened when Einstein came to town.

Math/Maths History Tour of Nottingham - George Greens Slide samuelmhansen 2011-03-21 | When Samuel Hansen visited Peter Rowlett in Nottingham, Peter took Samuel on a mathematics and computing history tour of the city. In this video a trip down the wonderful PI slide at the Mathematical Playground at George Green's Mill.Listen to Samuel and Peter on the Math/Maths Podcast, a weekly maths news roundup from Pulse-Project.org.Samuel Hansen's visit to the UK and associated activities were supported by: University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of Greenwich, University of Leicester Mathsoc, Nottingham Trent University, MathsJam, Nottingham High School, Bromley House Library and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
The Math/Maths Computing History Tour of Nottingham - Burroughs and Ada Lovelace samuelmhansen 2011-03-03 | Nottingham is the burial place of the Byron family and particularly Ada Lovelace, regarded as the world's first computer programmer, who worked with Charles Babbage on his Difference and Analytical Engines. Nottingham was also the overseas manufacturing plant for Burroughs Adding Machine Company, a precursor of modern computers, which became one of the eight major United States computer companies and ultimately joined a merger to form worldwide IT brand Unisys. When Samuel Hansen visited Peter Rowlett in Nottingham, Peter took Samuel on a mathematics and computing history tour of the city. In this video, Peter shows Samuel some of the sites related to this story in Nottingham, following a clue from David Singmaster's Mathematical Gazetteer of the British Isles, and Samuel tells Peter some of the relevant history of computing.
