A podcast dedicated to sharing our guests' favorite mathematical results. Follow us on Twitter at myfavethm. On this episode of My Favorite Theorem, we had the pleasure of talking with Robin Wilson, a mathematician at Loyola Marymount University, about the Poincare-Hopf index theorem and the importance of math education. Below are some links you may enjoy after the episode. For this episode, we were excited to talk to Kate Stange from the University of Colorado, Boulder about the bijection between quadratic forms and ideal classes.
Below are some links you might find interesting as you listen. In this episode, we enjoyed talking with Karen Saxe about her work as the director of the American Mathematical Society's Office of Government Relations and her favorite theorem, the isoperimetric theorem.
Below are a few links you might find relevant as you listen: Saxe's website and the homepage of the AMS Office of Government Relations. A survey of the history of the isoperimetric problem by Richard Tapia The proof by Peter Lax Evelyn's blog post about 50 pence coins and other British objects of constant width The Polsby-Popper test to measure gerrymandering A public lecture by mathematician Moon Duchin about mathematics and redistricting The Journal of Paleontology article that first uses the Polsby-Popper metric though not with that name An Atomic Frontier video about squeaky sand Our episode with fellow tennis-enjoyer Carina Curto.
The 10 Deutsche Mark note. On this episode, we enjoyed talking with mathematician and playwright-performer Corrine Yap about Mantel's theorem in graph theory.

On this episode, we talked with our delightful guest Allison Henrich, a mathematician at Seattle University, about the region crossing change theorem in knot theory.
