“Come for the pi, stay for the Amish snowbirds” — that’s how one reviewer describes Calculated, a new podcast by GPSW alum Stephen Ornes that explores people at the intersection of math, culture, and art. Calculated addresses questions like why do we celebrate math? and can math be beautiful? Download episodes for free here, and while you’re at it, pre-order Ornes’ upcoming book Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations. Showcasing how art has been inspired by the beauty and poetry of mathematical principles, Math Art features pieces ranging from a crocheted, sea coral-esque representation of non-Euclidian geometry to a 65-ton, 28-foot-tall bronze sculpture covered in a space-filling curve.
