We continue the interview with Moshe Cohen on line arrangements, but now at a graduate student level. To see the earlier interview with Moshe geared at a high school level, go to: Meet Mathematician Moshe Cohen. Continue reading
Intended Audience: Everyone, and especially teachers who want to show to their students a mathematician explaining research mathematics
In this episode we meet Moshe Cohen, a mathematician who studies ways to arrange planes in 4-dimensional space. The interview starts with an easier question that can be answered by any student in any grade. Enjoy! Continue reading
Intended Audience: Everyone, and especially teachers who want to show to their students a mathematician explaining the motivation behind their own research.
In this episode we meet Thomas Lam, professor of mathematics at the University of Michigan, who studies electrical networks (among other topics). Thomas gives a great introduction to one of the main problem in electrical networks as well as an application of electrical networks to medicine. Continue reading
