Greenwich podcasts!

A number of Greenwich mathematicians have made podcasts about their work which you can download from Travels in a Mathematical World. (This site, maintained by Peter Rowlett of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, has many fascinating podcasts about mathematics and mathematicians.)

A new podcast is added every week: this week's one (Number 41) is by Professor Ed Galea of the Fire Safety Engineering Group at Greenwich. Earlier podcasts by Greenwich people about their work at Greenwich are numbers 16 (Professor Chris Bailey), 20 (Professor Choi-Hong Lai), and 29 (Noel-Ann Bradshaw). In addition Noel-Ann Bradshaw has recorded a series of podcasts on the history of mathematics - these are numbers 2 (Newton and Leibniz), 6 (Galois), 11 (Euler), 13 (Nightingale), 17 (Al-Khwarizmi), 21 (Turing), 25 (Fibonacci) and 30 (Ramanujan).
