Mathgrad.com podcast

As I looked around at podcasts, I found many good ones on a variety of topics. I chose to examine further mathgrad.com. A Colorado State University graduate student in math writes “shows” on the math behind real life topics. His goal is to explain the math in a way that everyone can understand, students and adults as well. Some of his topics include probability, the math behind Sudoku, and how math impacts voting.

The podcasts themselves are good. I wish there was video or a handout to accompany each one. I am a visual learner and require something more than just the explanation, especially when the topic is new and somewhat challenging.

However, I would recommend that math teachers and interested math students check out this podcast.
