• Means of Transportation: The Mean Value Theorem and Average Speed Zones

  A family visit to the Netherlands introduces Pete to the idea of average speed zones, which illustrate a particularly interesting mathematical theorem.  Join our hosts as they really go off on a tangent about the mean value theorem, and how it just might get you a speeding ticket.

• Non-trivial Pursuit: The History of Fermat's Last Theorem

  A few episodes back, our hosts talked about the great unsolved mathematical problems of our time, and Pete teased an interesting story about one such problem that was finally solved not too long ago.  In this first of a two-part episode, we dive into the fascinating  story of Fermat's Last Theorem...   from its inception, to Fermat's bold claim that he had a proof that he couldn't share, to the mathematical greats of yesteryear who took up the challenge to prove it.  Join us for a look into this intriguing conjecture, and its amazing history.
