The Mathematics Center in Akademgorodok has launched a podcast about mathematics and mathematicians. The first episode, “Mom, I’m a Mathematician,” was released in June of this year. Its authors are Timur Nasybullov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Deputy Dean Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU, Deputy Director of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, winner of the All-Russian competition of educators "Knowledge.Lecturer", and Daria Lytkina, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Deputy Dean of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU, Deputy Director of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, together with guests – leading researchers of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences – discuss various aspects of work in mathematics.
— Several stars aligned, which led to the creation of the podcast. Firstly, one of my main tasks is to develop education and research at the faculty. How to do this? You can open new educational programs and launch new research groups. Since 2019, we have already done a lot of work in this direction, which allowed us to improve the quality of education and increase the amount of research. Now we want to engage in the popularization of our scientific achievements, and the podcast is a small step in this direction. Secondly, as a creative person, I want to create something. Every year I try something new for myself, and this year the choice fell on the podcast. Thirdly, this year I became the winner of the "Knowledge Lecturer" competition and received a cash prize, which I decided to use to record the podcast, ”shared Timur Nasybullov.
The podcast is released once a month. There are currently three episodes.
· In the first issueThe authors discussed the general idea of the podcast, as well as the topics of future episodes: people's relationships with mathematics, love and hate for mathematics, signs of a successful scientist, mathematical Olympiads and awards, the oddities of scientists, scientific tourism, etc.
· In the second issueThe authors talked about the path of a mathematician: school, university, work, scientific problems that mathematicians solve, etc. The guest of the issue was Nikolai Alekseevich Bazhenov, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, head of the research group "Digitalization of mathematical models and classification problems in computability theory" of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok.
· In the third issueThe authors discussed women in mathematics: the proportions between men and women in mathematics, the choice of profession, scientific awards, special treatment, etc. The guest of the issue was Maria Aleksandrovna Grechkoseeva, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Head of the Algebra Laboratory at the S. L. Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
— In future episodes, we will definitely talk about mathematical Olympiads, scientific tourism — trips related to the work of a scientist to different cities and countries, we will discuss the hierarchy in the world of science and academic degrees, we will definitely touch on the topic of the relationship between mathematics and applied developments. Now, with Daria Viktorovna, we are planning to record at least 10 episodes, in the future we will look at the audience's response, — Timur Nasybullov added.
