Welcome to Season III of Count Me In with Della and Deanna. We’re excited for you to join us as we explore the lives of mathematicians to reveal the humanity of our discipline and broaden our understanding of what it means to be a mathematician.

We’ll talk to delightful mathematicians with fascinating stories, about family and home life, and about the places they enjoy.

We will learn tips from a mathematician who became a college president, and a mathematician who devoted his life to advancing the next generation. We will gain insights about the exciting work of colleagues. We will learn about the usual and unusual items mathematicians keep on their desks.

And of course we’ll hear about their thoughts on mathematics.

We’ll talk about starring in elementary school plays, glassblowing lessons, deejaying, walking through airports, square dancing, and a collection of plants that have names.

Please join us for these conversations with colleagues that will inspire you as you learn about shared experiences of challenge and support, of doubt and devotion, and of isolation and community. Listen to Count Me In with Della and Deanna on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or mathvalues.org. New episodes are released every Monday, beginning in September.
