14 - Michael Harris: Number Theory, Creativity in Mathematics, & Beauty
Podcast: Robinson's PodcastPublished On: Thu Sep 08 2022
Description: Michael Harris is a mathematician at Columbia University, where he primarily works on number theory. He did his undergraduate studies at Princeton and received his PhD from Harvard. Professor Harris and I discuss the tragic figure of Alexander Grothendieck, the allure of number theory, mathematics as an intrinsically human endeavor, creativity in mathematics, and the relationship between mathematicians and computers, including whether the former will ever replace the latter.
