We all miss Diana. Hope she gets well and recovers from long COVID soon! 😢

I found this exchange hilarious: Dianna: What’s a “Grant word” for wordy? Grant: Uh … vociferous? D: I feel like you are very good with words G: Erudite? D: Erudite! G: I’m a deipnosophist? D: [laughing] This is what I’m talking about. G: I’m not a very good deipnosophist. D: I don’t even know what that means, Grant. G: Very few people do. It means someone who is exceptionally good at dinner conversation. D: I don’t know very many of those. I think I dated one, actually, for a while… G: [genuinely interested] A deipnosophist?!

The most epic crossover in history

programming makes math much more interesting for me. Being able to experiment with math using code, instead of having to solve on paper, helps me a lot when building intuition

That reminds me of memorizing a full week syllabus in 30 minuets for a biscuit as a reward before the test. I did so well at that test the teacher gave me a 100 PKR note signed(that was worth a lot to me) in front of the whole class. Despite being very slow at writing I was able to write more than 4 pages in 10 minuets. I can never forget that day. A little appreciation changes a lot.

they seem like such good friends like their chemistry is so sweet

It's soo lovely to watch her being enthusiastic in this podcast! I usually put technical comments (without emotions) but here I couldn't resist expressing. I've been following her work since the beginning of high school and it's the end of my junior college. I shared them with my classmates and they all love her work too!

I cannot remember sitting through an entire 1hr and 24 minute video and actually enjoying it so much. Grant and Dianna, very insightful video and definitely inspirational for those who dare to think of an alternate career path. Thanks for this!!! :)

These podcasts are really really great to listen to at work. Please keep it up Grant, you're good at this.

The part about the value system really hit hard. I remember not knowing what the heck I’m was doing in the middle of my first couple semesters and started skipping classes because my motivation was at an all time low. Like you said Grant, it really is shattering to the identity and a little soul crushing.

We missed your podcast the last 2 weeks, thanks for bringing them back :D

This conversation was very much alive! Loved it. I wish there was one unabridged video of your talk.

This conversation is like their adventure! Love the detours, was very pleasant listening to :)

aaaahhhh.........I totally screamed watching the thumbnail. Two of my most favourite ppl together. One made me interested in physics and another made me understand math in a whole new light. Love them both.

Grant, I absolutely loved your podcast. I really hope you make more episodes sometime in the future!

I really enjoyed this interview, thanks for sharing

Great discussion during "Thoughts on teaching". My experience was teachers that could see my unique perspective were dramatically more effective at teaching and sparking curiosity than the ones who just expected conformance to the standard material. It all starts with "Seeing" without prior expectations.

Loving these podcasts! Keep them coming.

This was extremely helpful and fun! Thank you. I really liked the argument you mentioned about geocentricism in the ancient world. It was very inspiring.

Just got the notification, Can't wait to hear the whole thing!!

I like that you mixed together the footage from her camera and the video call

It's great hearing how the two of you go about presenting material, and about finding that perfect balance between over enthusiastic vs subdued. It is comforting to hear that Dianna has a fluctuation between the two extremes, because consistency is something that I struggle with as a science communicator. Thank you both for a great conversation! I hear you on the pacing of mathematics videos. I struggle with that a good deal. My audience is a mix of graduate students and undergraduate students and some researchers, so I try to target each of these one at a time. When I'm doing a more research heavy video, I think I tend to go a bit faster and assume a lot more of my audience. Certainly, I assume a bit more than I do from my undergrad students. I try to keep a bunch of examples laying out the problem for those who are still interested, but finding that perfect pacing is really challenging. I guess, I aim at an elementary introduction and ramp up by the end of the video, but that's just how I go about it.

ive never been more excited for a podcast!!

Oh, Jabrils is so cool! I love him so much, great guy! It was nice to see the comment about him commenting on the arctan function haha

'Deipnosophist' is my new favorite word! It's way more wholesome than 'defenestration' while giving you the same right to smugness of knowing a rare word :)

This was so interesting! Really enjoyed it❤️

Thanks for this episode grant! Liked leaning about how Diana started in Maths and Physics :)

Thank you for a nice conversation.

Every participant makes me want to start my channel, amazing work Grant, I really enjoy this podcast.

I already loved Physics Girl, but after this I also have a profound respect for Diana as a person! Amazing podcast, thank you!

I love that all of your KZfaq references are all the folks I watch. Great conversation guys!

I would love to see if the quiz/ad idea works. I work as a public school math teacher online and love both of your works. Keep up the amazing work and much appreciation for all you guys put out there. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration for so many.

Excellent podcast! A big fan and subscriber to both of you.

Dianna! What a great guest! Her excitement for science is infectious… as is her smile. It’s interesting to find out what motivates her.

2:00 to 9:00 really resonated with me. My parents were exceptionally disinterested when it came to science, mathematics, or philosophy, and those were exactly the kinds of things I was interested in. I remember longing for some kind of encouragement for my curiosity when I was growing up, and not having anywhere to turn to. I'm not sure how I ended up where I did (master's in mathematics) but I'm glad I did.

Grant. I just love every video you make on anything

About time! I was waiting for this ❤️

Wow, I just felt so understood by Diana growing up, and share the feeling about curiosity, when you ask your own questions the answers are more interesting and the path to them is exciting, Now I admire and like more Diana

Loved the video!

This video makes me want to become a science communicator just to get to know all these cool people that I've enjoyed content from for 10 years

Excellent interview. Somewhat abrupt ending.

a CPG Grey episode would be cool

The sibling effect is actually well documented in sports. The idea is the younger sibling is competing against the older, more developed sibling. So the younger sibling has to overcome this apparent handicap and that makes them better as adults. The effect isn't very pronounced at lower levels but becomes more apparent at the elite/professional level.

It was interesting to hear about the value systems that were driving you both in your earlier school years. I would love to see more educational systems tackle this issue, maybe an earlier introduction to philosophy? It's somewhat comforting to know that every person is part of a long line of people trying to figure out what the purpose of life is or how they best can live life.

Great talk! This 1.5 hour flew so fast

Grant, are you considering taking another shot at a video about complex derivatives?

I was so overjoyed when I saw this video exists!!! the way they talk about math, it's so damn relatable

This was so good like I can't even for real.

Loved it!

In terms of science story telling, one of my favorite shows was the original Connections series from the late 70’s (hope it stands up with time as I haven’t watched it for many years) where discoveries were presented by looking at the wide variety of influences which allowed the “discovery” to occur. i would love to see that approach with math or physics - the interactions, competing theories, or rivalries, etc between mathematicians or physicists. In the same vein, I ended up minoring in art history because I got excited that I could like history (hadn’t previously) when looking at it through the lens of art and the lives of the artists.

What a delightful surprise!

Hey Grant! Good to see that you are doing well (in fact super great...). Was just wondering a question for you. Will you (are you planning to) make a series on Tensor Analysis and Tensor Calculus? If so, I'm really ebulliently looking forward to it. Well, the point is maybe a little self-centered. I'm currently trying to wrap my mind around the ideas of General Relativity. And, in order to understand relativity from a mathematical standpoint, I realized that I would have to be equipped with the necessary mathematical acuity (for which I'm certainly impressed that it took someone like Einstein 10 long years to come up with), centrally based on tensors, curvature, metric, etc.

Amazing interview. Please bring in Derek Muller and Micheal Stevens sometime too.

Just watched lockdown maths . Can there be random livestreams once in one or two maths like that ??? Couldn't attend those live as I discovered your channel in December of 2020

Hey Grant, I would love it if you included your own point of view about a subject more in those podcasts..Multiple times I've found myself saying "It's a shame I didn't get to hear what Grant thought about that thing.." Thank you!

Petition to bring Hannah Fry as guest

As one who's KZfaq existence is purely observational and Teaching Assistant POV, I approve of these Channels, much as parents are, of exceptional children's success. COVID-19 is a "Time of Plague" episode in History.

the proof idea is awesome !!!! i'd watch all the videos of that project

amazing video

Good chemistry and positive vibes from both sides.

holy moly that sibling thing is so relatable! i used to be with my older cousin all the time and so i used to excel in my class at math cause i was always ahead by 3 years. and then i started loving math cause i was good at it, and here we are.

Thanks grant and interviewee

Please invite @Tibees She has many good perspectives on math, physics or science in general.

as a younger sibling, My dad never helped me at the same time as my older brother, but my brother liked telling me about his math (he’s 5 yrs older) so I got to hear about derivatives a few years before I would have otherwise. I think some of that got me interested in math. Also my dad did help with the advanced math kids when I was in elementary which helped

Also Thankyou Ms Cowern

Thankyou Mr Sanderson for the work you do About Teacher’s & how different cultures value(since you mentioned Japanese culture) In Indian/Hindu culture (in the old texts refer the hierarchy/order) ‘Guru’ Even before God, ie: Sanskrit it goes as; “Matha, Pitha, Guru, Deivam “ (#1:Mother, #2:Father, #3:Teacher, #4:God)

We need veritasium and Destin in your podcast pls

theres this guy named Destin, from smarter everyday who i think is one of the best science youtubers that I have encountered by far. the reason I say this is because a lot of youtubers in this category explain these subjects really well, they have great visuals and tell great stories. however, not only does he do all of those things, but Destin also applies them to real life. he shows us that everything that we interact with in our everyday life is much more complicated (beautiful) than they appear. Since many students in or coming out of high school are always question the need for math or applications for math, in this case, i always point them towards his videos. That would be a great podcast.

Thanks 3b1b❤️✨

It's amazing all the love Michael is getting

Very pretty and sincere conversation.

This really is something!!

Please do a podcast with ViHart please T_T . Thanks a ton for the wonderful conversation with Dianna!

ah yess been waiting for weeks

Would love to see this available on Stitcher.

31:00 I just found this extremely relatable!

The best podcast in educational KZfaq side

I would just say, Grant i am your biggest fan, so much inspired by you❤️❤️❤️

I think even without the number of subscribers/Academic success/etc being a measure of individual success, you would've still realised "your worth" because you RECOGNISED what those standards meant. You also strived to be the best, and therefore recognised who is best and how high/low in the ranking system you are intuitively. It's like how guys can guess who the strongest male is in a group of males, or at least approximate it. P.S. Great and thorough interview! I suggest having Toby from Tibees next, she's incredibly interesting!

For historical science stories check put James Burke Connections series

Is there more to the Probability series on 3b1b channel?

Hope she's well

Such a lovely couple. Just watching you makes us happy ❤

I would love to see Podcast about Veritasium as well :)

I love when I can find my own intriguing question. Just recently I went down this rabbit hole of intentional stupidity: it started with x^3 is the same as x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x. Then I decided to continue the process of 0x^n, having n become negative. This becomes an issue because 0x^-1 = 0/x, and when evaluated at x=0, the function is undefined. And this whole train of thought, including consulting teachers and friends (kinda) led to the fundamental theorem of algebra and tailor series, and why n is never negative. Ending (maybe) with the conclusion that f(x) + 0 = f(x), but f(x) + *an undefined value* != f(x). I'm still not quite done with this whole idea, since now I've started to think of how undefinedness is a (currently required) limitation of math, and limits of partially undefined functions, and the beauty of the abstraction of mathematical concepts.

Also, would you consider doing on a topic about programming like to basically introduce the concepts of math programmatically? Regards.

Hey grant did you solve the angle bisector problem?

Some people that would be incredible to have on podcast would be - Vertasium , Simone Giertz, Vsauce, Smartereveryday , Mark rober, Ben eater, Tom scott There are a lott more ppl but these are the ppl that come to my mind atm BTW This podcast is sooooo goood , love ur content !

Amazing 🤩🤩

These are my kind of people!

Aisling Bee! Never expected to hear her mentioned here. She is great.

Waiting for the next 3b1b maths video

Thanku 💛🌟💫☀️

It was a very interesting and enjoyable interaction 😍🤩 it didn't feel like 1:24:47 min long at all!!

I hope Veritasium comes on this show

Science communication seems like an amazing job. Teaching entertaining and helping seems amazing. Drean job

this just made my day.....

OK. We NEED a "physics of surfing" video on Physics Girl, now. Pleeeeease?

I'm just curious. Is she a left hander? Mouse is on to her left. I gave it a thought of being mirror image but her fitness tracker/band is to the same side and her ring is to the other ...

Do Veritasium!
