Elections are supposed to reflect the will of the people—but do they really? In this episode, I take a look at Condorcet's work, a mathematician who tried to make voting fairer. From plurality voting to ranked-choice systems, we’ll explore the flaws that still haunt elections today. Is democracy as fair as we think? Let’s find out !-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈Sur l’admission des femmes au droits de la cité (1790; On the Admission of Women to the Rights of Citizenship) : ⤷ https://revolution.chnm.org/d/292 ⤷https://old.maa.org/press/periodicals/convergence/mathematical-treasures-condorcet-on-the-application-of-probability-to-voting⤷ https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.03153

In this episode, we talk about the life of Archimedes, the father of mathematics. We look at his works in geometry, and his early insights into calculus. So... Eureka 💡

Hey everyone and welcome to the second season of our podcast Mathemaniacs, where with me, your host Defne, we’ll continue our journey through the world of mathematics.

In the final episode of our first season, we talk about the seven Millennium Problems including the famous P vs NP and the Riemann Hypothesis. Discover how these problems could be the keys to unlocking a brand new world. 1) P vs NP Problem 2) The Riemann Hypothesis 3) Yang–Mills Existence and Mass Gap problem 4) Navier–Stokes Existence and Smoothness problem 5) The Hodge Conjecture 6) Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture 7) Poincaré Conjecture

P vs NP problem—one of the biggest mysteries in math and computer science...

In this episode I talk about the famous Monty Hall problem :D

Since I talked a bit about how and why math is important in many subjects, I also wanted to tell you guys the wonderful story of how Neptune was discovered.
