Description

Episode 1: Birthmarks, Beans, and Brotherhoods
We know Pythagoras was the leader of a brotherhood…or do we?  In the first of a three-part series on Pythagoras, we dive into some of the wild and supposed “truths” about one of the most famous and controversial Greek mathematicians/philosophers and attempt to answer the following questions:
How can your birthmark can make you famous?
Are beans really a magical fruit?
What do either of these things have to do with math?

Join Nathalie Vega-Rhodes and her friend Kay as they dive into mathematical adventures! Let us know your thoughts.  Follow us on Facebook or email us at podcast@infinitelyirrational.com.  For math and the research behind the episode, visit our webpage at www.infinitelyirrational.com We look forward to hearing from you!
