Hosted by Autumn Phaneuf , an expert in industrial engineering, operations research, and applied mathematics, and Noah Giansiracusa , a mathematician and leading voice in algorithmic literacy and technology ethics, the show is dedicated to uncovering the mathematical structures behind science, technology, and the systems shaping our future. What began as a conversation about math as a pure and elegant discipline has evolved into a platform for bold, interdisciplinary dialogue. Each episode of Breaking Math takes listeners on an intellectual journey—into the strange beauty of chaos theory, the ethical dilemmas of AI and algorithms, the hidden math of biology and evolution, or the physics governing black holes and the cosmos. Along the way, Autumn and Noah speak with working scientists, researchers, and thinkers across fields: computer scientists, physicists, chemists, engineers, economists, philosophers, and more. But this isn’t just a podcast about equations. It’s a show about how mathematics shapes the way w… ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/breaking-math-podcast-325661 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-math-podcast-325661.md ## Episodes - [AI Solves 80-Year-Old Math Conjecture: What It Means for the Future of Mathematics](https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-math-podcast-325661/ai-solves-80-year-old-math-conjecture-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-mathematics) — 2026-05-23T06:17:32+00:00 - [The Science of Addiction: Dopamine, Social Media, and the Myth of Willpower with Maia Szalavitz](https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-math-podcast-325661/the-science-of-addiction-dopamine-social-media-and-the-myth-of-willpower-with-maia-szalavitz) — 2026-05-21T01:26:55+00:00 - [Are We Being Misled by Data?
