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 Count Me In with Della and Deanna. Today we feature an energizing conversation with Tara Holm, Professor and chair of mathematics at Cornell University. Tara grew up in Pennsylvania and earned her undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College and her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her work in symplectic geometry and its connections with other fields has taken her to the Clay Mathematics Institute as a Liftoff Mathematician, to the University of California Berkely as an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow and Visting Asst Prof, to Oxford University as a Simons Fellow, and to the Institute for Advanced Study as a von Neumann Fellow. In this conversation, you will hear about her encouraging and heroic high school teacher who created opportunities for her to learn Calc II and multi-variable calculus, her work on the Boards and Councils of various organizations in mathematics, her tips for sustaining a research program while serving as chair of a vibrant department, and her observation that “someone, somewhere in the world is doing something interesting in mathematics in their classroom.” Tara’s energy for mathematics is infectious and you will leave the podcast ready to take your next step in the discipline, no matter where you are in your journey. So, please join us as we talk with Tara.
