Have you ever wondered why you learnt integration at school? Do you wake at night in a cold sweat, worried all that time spent looking at fractions may have been a waste of your youth? Are you currently sitting in a maths lesson asking how any of this will be relevant in your adult life? If you are, then stop looking at your phone and listen to your teacher. But afterwards, join Hugo, Emily and Day as they dive head first into the world of High School Mathematics.
What's the Point of Algebra? is a podcast for anyone who ever has, or ever will, study maths at school (aka anyone ever). Each week we choose a new subject from the Edexcel GCSE Higher Mathematics textbook*, chat about it and try desperately to understand how it applies to the average adult life. Which it does, sometimes… Honestly!
From calculating the probability of winning the lottery, to guessing how much the weekly shop is going to cost, we are determined to find out, What's the Point of Algebra?
*We are in no way associated with Edexcel, and are certain that they'd be furious to find out we're trying to make their textbook interesting

Episode 3 of What's the Point of Algebra? deals with a topic that not even our hosts can say correctly. Hugo, Emily and Day continue their delve into GCSE maths, by looking at how useful lowest common multiples and highest common factors are. In this episode, Day has their knowledge of film and musical theatre put to the test. Emily realises that ridiculous names are a common factor for her family. And Hugo, as always, makes the mistake of thinking your typical person on the street has the same problems as an astrophysicist.
