To listeners of this podcast, it’s no secret that Tai loves math. But he knows that a lot of people, including his friends, definitely don’t feel the same way. In this episode, Tai uncovers why math gets such a bad rap, and if there’s any truth to the well-worn phrase: “I’m just not a math person!”
In this episode Tai talks to:
- Sian Beilock, cognitive scientist and president of Barnard College at Columbia University
- Daniel Ansari, Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience & Learning at Western University
- Mariam Hazhir, math teacher in Surrey, B.C.
