You Belong in Math | Dr. Talithia Williams

Описание: How do you find belonging in a space where you rarely see yourself? Dr. Talithia Williams shares how Spelman College and one encouraging teacher helped her see herself as a mathematician. She looks back on how microaggressions during her PHD studies tested her resolve and how seeing other women in math transformed her sense of what is possible.

Dr. Talithia Williams is a mathematics professor at Harvey Mudd College, where she develops statistical models and applies them to environmental and social problems. Author of the book, Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics, Williams is known for taking sophisticated quantitative concepts and making them relatable to everyone, a skill which she illustrates in her TED Talk, “Own Your Body's Data.” Talithia joins the podcast to talk about the rebel women of mathematics, the relevance of statistics in everyday life, and her view that God is a mathematician.
