On today’s, be it which ever day you happen to listen, episode of Strongly Connected Components Samuel Hansen comes back strong with an interview with NPR Math Guy, Co-Founder of Standford’s H-STAR Institute, and author of many books, including the wonderful and informative Unfinished Game which you should all go pick up right away, Keith Devlin. Keith and Samuel discussed just how one jumps from Set Theory to the study of Mathematical Cognition, the interaction of mathematics and language, and Dr. Devlin’s project that will bring mathematical video games to the masses(provided he can find $500 million). If you want to find out more about Keith Devlin make sure to check out his website and follow him on twitter.
