Welcome to Count Me In with Della and Deanna. Today we feature an exciting conversation with Susan D”Agostino, a writer and mathematician who recently authored How to Free Your Inner Mathematician:Notes on Mathematics and Life and who currently serves as the technology reporter for Inside Higher Ed.. Susan earned her undergraduate degree in anthropology from Bard College, a masters in science writing from Johns Hopkins University, and a PhD in mathematics from Dartmouth College. In this conversation, you will hear about the preschool experience that taught her to stand up for herself, her unusual path to mathematics, her book that has only curiosity as a prerequisite, her secret for taking on the next challenge, and why every mathematical proof is a story. So, please join us as we talk with Susan.

Today we have a lively and joyful conversation with Dr. Alicia Prieto Langarica, professor of mathematics at Youngstown State University. Alecia grew up in Mexico where she competed in the Mexican Mathematical Olympiad. She earned her undergraduate degree in mathematics from the University of Texas at Dallas and her PhD from the University of Texas Arlington. Her research focuses on the intersection of mathematics and biology, specifically problems related to the medical field. She is one of the four co-founders of Lathisms, a website that features Hispanic and Latinx mathematicians, their research, and their contributions.
She received the MAA’s Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2019.
This conversation with Alecia highlights the importance of compassion and empathy in the classroom and beyond, the role of a far-reaching vision for mathematics in the community, and the value of a creative space to explore mathematics and ideas. So, please join us as we talk with Alecia.
