Math Fun from an Old Friend
Math Fun From An Old Friend
One of my old graduate student buddies is a professor at Pittsburg State University in Kansas.
He calls himself The Okie in Exile.
His reasearch area is geometric topology; he has published in the area of non-compact three manifolds. He is one of the world's experts in Whitehead manifolds.
He has put out a couple of Youtube intervals in which he teaches math topics via folksy, funny stories.
The first of these deals with the Chinese Remainder Theorem in a clever way; the second one talks about Egyptian fractions. Enjoy!
