Episode Description
This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, join Mitch and Tom as they enter the world absolutes, where there is only one answer, maths! The boys kick off with the history of the world of maths, explore their own past experiences, and their current relationship with it now. They debate whether maths was discovered or if its just a construct of the mind, teach you how to count past infinity, and why it’s never too late to learn maths yourself. Music by: Joakim Karud – https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud.
