What Can Math Teach Us? w/ Francis Su

Math can often lead to frustration, confusion, and irritation — but might it also lead us to virtue? Join us as we talk with Harvey Mudd professor and author of “Mathematics for Human Flourishing,” Dr. Francis Su. In our interviews with Francis and his friend (and fellow math-explorer) Christopher Jackson, learn how doing math makes us more human and allows us to grow in the virtues of discernment, persistence, and hope.
