Me! On Numberphile! Who would’ve thought it?
Earlier this year, Brady Haran visited Newcastle to record a video with some Leverhulme scholars. Luckily for me he had a bit of spare time to record a video with me, so we did one about the Herschel enneahedron, which I first looked at back in 2013.
There were a few common questions among the comments on YouTube. I thought I’d quickly respond to them here.
I’d like to cut a rectangle into a 3×4 grid of squares. To minimise the number of cuts, should I cut three long strips first, or four short strips? Does it matter?
Here’s the final match of The Big Internet Math-Off.
Over the past month, we’ve heard from 16 interesting mathematicians and whittled them down to just 2. Today, we’re pitting Matt Enlow against Angela Tabiri to determine The World’s Most Interesting Mathematician (2024, of the people who I asked to take part and were available).
