I am almost certain that at one point in your life you were convinced that Mathematics was hard, that you were not built for the many formulae that characterize the subject, and that you could survive the world without it. But the question is, can you really? Is Mathematics really a nightmare as many know it to be? In this episode, Prof. Peninah Kamina, a Math Professor based in the USA, simplifies the Math concept and offers linkages between Math and the real-life world.  Hosted by Rachel Kiragu.
