Welcome to Count Me In with Della and Deanna. Today we feature an exciting conversation with Susan D”Agostino, a writer and mathematician who recently authored How to Free Your Inner Mathematician:Notes on Mathematics and Life and who currently serves as the technology reporter for Inside Higher Ed.. Susan earned her undergraduate degree in anthropology from Bard College, a masters in science writing from Johns Hopkins University, and a PhD in mathematics from Dartmouth College. In this conversation, you will hear about the preschool experience that taught her to stand up for herself, her unusual path to mathematics, her book that has only curiosity as a prerequisite, her secret for taking on the next challenge, and why every mathematical proof is a story. So, please join us as we talk with Susan.
