Episode description

This episode begins with a 9 minute moment of silence in honor of George Floyd, and all other black men and women who are victims of police brutality. During that time I encourage you to donate here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019.  You can also sign various petitions here:https://www.bleumag.com/2020/06/03/30-blm-petitions-you-should-sign-right-now/


The content of this episode surrounds two mathematical giants, Eratosthenes and Archimedes to demonstrate the power of geometry when it works on its own. We end the episode with a discussion on the importance of prime numbers.
