Math and Politics: What’s the connection?

Today, I’m a guest on Arin Greenwood‘s FIRE podcast at The Heartland Institute and Out of the Storm News.  We talk about the expected stuff at first–how math can keep more money in your pocket and how grownups pass down our anxieties and hatred of math to the next generation.  But then we get into what I thought was a cool discussion about math and politics.  Having some math sense may very well make us a smarter and more responsible electorate!

Here’s how.

So now I have another trick up my sleeve–podcasts.  I’d love to chat with you for your blog or radio program.  Or if you know of a reporter, journalist, blogger who needs a mathy person to talk about this stuff, I’m the gal! I’m guest posting all over the place, too.  Get the details here.
