A conversation about mathematics between the UK and USA from Pulse-Project.org. This week Samuel and Peter spoke about: the Vorderman report on maths education "A world-class mathematics education for ALL our young people"; 7 Questions You Didn't Know Could Be Answered With Math; Standard & Poor's responds to proposals for stronger oversight; 'Haircuts' identified as a cause of financial crisis; All US Competitors Win Medals at 2011 China Girls Math Olympiad; People are 'born bad at maths'; 'Lucky' woman who won lottery four times outed as Stanford University statistics PhD; and more, and were joined by special guest Edmund Harriss to discuss an interesting set of mathematical structures and images, including: The Circle Group; Klein Bottle; 120 Cell; Penrose Tiling; Hopf Fibration; Six-Particle Choreography; Byrne's Euclid; Sangaku; Fano Plane; Game of Life.
