Ep03 - Mathematics and Humor

Humor plays a vital role to bring happiness in our lives. On the contrary, mathematics is often perceived as "cold" and limiting to human emotions. In this episode of Books 'n Brew, your host Mayur Ghatge talks about three ideas from a book called, "Mathematics and Humor" by John Allen Paulos. He talks on how mathematics plays a central role in construction of a joke and is actually empowering, not just for mathematicians but for everyone in all walks of their lives. He also takes you on a journey of brewing India Pale Ale (IPA) to highlight the intricacies of beer brewing. Cheers! Music for the show is played on Ukulele by Rahul Thombare.
