Episode description

We were grateful to speak with Dr. KAMUELA YONG, a Native Hawaiian mathematician about how mathematics is all around us, calculating latitude by North Star angles, moving islands and the law of cosines, wingspan measurements, Kāuna-number systems, and sea swells as the constant drum beat of navigation.
