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.

Welcome to Season III of Count Me In with Della and Deanna. We’re excited for you to join us as we explore the lives of mathematicians to reveal the humanity of our discipline and broaden our understanding of what it means to be a mathematician.
We’ll talk to delightful mathematicians with fascinating stories, about family and home life, and about the places they enjoy.
We will learn tips from a mathematician who became a college president, and a mathematician who devoted his life to advancing the next generation. We will gain insights about the exciting work of colleagues. We will learn about the usual and unusual items mathematicians keep on their desks.
And of course we’ll hear about their thoughts on mathematics.
We’ll talk about starring in elementary school plays, glassblowing lessons, deejaying, walking through airports, square dancing, and a collection of plants that have names.
Please join us for these conversations with colleagues that will inspire you as you learn about shared experiences of challenge and support, of doubt and devotion, and of isolation and community. Listen to Count Me In with Della and Deanna on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or mathvalues.org. New episodes are released every Monday, beginning in September.
