because of abstract you can build more math on the math which is why there's always more math for usrd other birds. you can build a sculpture of a bird out of sculptures of birds cousin sculptures are abstract enough to do that. math is abstract enough to do that and i think art is abstract enough to do that. are can refer to itself and it can refer to other art. so to really close this loop, i would like to show you a poem that's been translated by my friend which demonstrates the way these references make a kind of infinite self reference that takes our thought off forever. this poem refers to a painting of the fall of icarus but it actually refers to another poem that refers to a painting of the fall of icarus and it refers to the greek myth about icarus. i will redo this poem. >> if i had to choose a poem, i would be iw h orton, the one which mentions the fall of icarus where icarus is but a tiny, almost invisible figure falling into the sea. the old masters understood suffering well he said, how it takes place while someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking alon

how we learn math. i think for many of them, they certainly feel that it is perhaps a little too easy to do calculations these days. there is a way that they learn how to do math that just made them stronger at it. then the students are today. >> john is coming in from gresham, oregon. >> thank you nathalia holt for your discussion and thank you booktv for this opportunity. i am a longtime viewer of and advocate for nasa television. i have been trying for decades to get the major cable, national cable outlets to provide nasa television as part of their basic -- to get nasa television not dear cable box you must have a - either a local cable company or a public access television station.the reason i bring this up is because i have been blessed with a public access cable television outlet that provides nasa tv. i can converse nasa with just about anybody but i get blank stares when i talked to people who do not wash nasa television. i bring this up because it is sad that the national populace is basically

people say i was okay with math until calculus.people say i have-- i was okay with math until times tables. math is dealt with infinity and although you may think infinity is far away from this world actually condering infy and talking out how to think about it is what led to the development of calculus, which controls everything that moves continuously in the world around us, so everything that uses electricity, anything that has a curve and it, the curve of the piano, the way the strings work, everything is controlled by calculus. without that understanding infinity where we wouldn't have any of these technological developments, so there is a use for an infinity. i read that weary of a talking about how useful math is because i don't like to think it's the big selling point. it would be like saying i would like you to meet my friend, they are very useful. [laughter] >> math is useful, but also the fact that it's fascinating, not the fact it's useful. it's great it's useful as well. here's a picture of me eating the nose cookies.

you can always build more math out of math. you can't build a new bird out of birds.lpture of a bird sculptures of birds. because sculptures are abstract. i think ours is abstract enough to do that. art referred to itself i can also refer to other art. so to close this loop like to show you a poem that has been translated by my friends which demonstrate the way these references make an infinite self reference said this will actually refer to another poem that refers to the form of the fall of icarus. i'm going to redo this poem. if i had to choose a poem, by wh orden. where icarus is about a tiny, almost invisible figure falling into the sea. the old masters understood suffering well. how it takes place were someone else's eating or opening a window, or walking along. everything turns away, walks away quite literally. but oblivious to the disaster the pain of someone's life almost never touches someone else. almost no one cares for the wounds of others. the english poem, references a painting. the painting, greek myth, who knows what. i am by the window waiting for ic

>> these are women who loved math and science, but they were coming of age at a time that just wasn't an option for women. they were going to school theco 1930s and 1940s and were frequently the only women in their math and science classes. i heard that over and over again so you can imagine how it felt for them to come together and be part of this large group of women looking at the object report propulsion laboratory. >> did nasa have a specific program that encouraged this? scenic nasa started in 1958 and these women were hired in the 1940s and they were hired by a woman named macy roberts and the reason she hired all women was because she felt like if she hired men they wouldn't listen to her simply because she was a woman and wanted to create ared cohesive group of women that worked for nasa for 40 or 50 years. one of them still works there today so they had to support onw another. >> host: were they shy -- if you want to die of a man to talk here are the numbers. 748, 8200 for those of you in theast and central time zones, 748-8201 for those of you in tho mountain and pacific ti

physics of course meant math and math meant mathematicians and in the middle of the last decade mathematicians were women. langley's first female computing pool started in 1935 the cost and uproar at the minute the laboratory but how can a female mind process something so rigorous and precise as math? [laughter] the very idea investing $500 on calculating show that it could be used by a girl. but the girls had been good, very good better computing in fact than many of the engineers the men begrudgingly admitted. until the handful of girls winning the title of mathematician of professional -- the fact that most computers were designated as lower paid subrepression of provided a boost to the laboratory's bottom line. in 1943 the girls were harder to come by. virginia tech are langley said computer brand laps up and down the east coast searching for coeds with even a modicum of analytical or mechanical skills hoping for matriculating college students to fill the hundreds of open positions for computer scientific aids models laboratory systems and even mathematicians. she constricted what seemed l

we do math all the time. we know we can add the charge as . percentage in a menu why are they requiring the total price? could it be that they want to suppress the message merchants want to get across? is it a unjustified or burdensome? is it hard for the merchants or will it dissuade them from getting their message across? >> we will have a minute for rebuttal. >> mr. fagan? >> thank you mr. chief justice, may it please the lord. i want to take the core of the first amendment. wants to labelo asoda as causing $1.95 with 5% credit card surcharge and the question is whether the state can require the merchant to specifically identify the price of $2.05 before charging a customer who wants to use a credit card that amount. along that is very similar to a a merchant tores honor their offers into a contract of the sort that we normally would not think is subject to any first amendment scrutiny. we nevertheless think the requirement everyone seems to agree is imposed here is best used under the court precedents as a speech regulation because it affe

i had to do the math in my own head. >> that's correct. there are a lot of price adjustment cells could impose picked good at coupons, discounts. i think though support our points because what do those price adjustments apply to cracks at the end of the day under the ordinary definition of a surcharge is all of this adjustments apply to the regular or starting price. >> here's the narrow way in which this seems to affect communications, speech. i assembled. i set my prices. i say i want to charge cash customers a dollar and what to charge credit card customers $1.5. if i put my list price as $1.5 and the customers get happy surprise that seems fine. if i put my list price as one dollar end of the credit card companies get a not so happy surprise, that can't be done. so it does affect the way a seller communicates which price he's going to say is the regular place, is the list price. so why isn't that a speech regulation? you might say, as the solicitor general does come it is a speech regulation but only a disclosure regulation and subject

i really starteted to actualally challengege those assumptions and then discovered how much i like math sciences s and realized that i have the capacity to not only do well in these classes, but use this education to invent and create things myself, so in my junior year, me along with my other two co-founders started this company to help health care workers around the world battle infectious diseases. the project was started in 2014 in response to the ebola crisis in west africa, so right now, thehe health care woworkers, they are wearing g ts big, yellow suit called a ppe suit. once you're done treating a patient, you are supposed to take off the suit, but before you do that, they spray you down with bleach to make sure there's no more bacteria or virus left on your suit. one of the biggest problems with the ebola crisis is there was such a high rate of infection for health care workers, and a lot of that was from ineffective decontamination. man: so one bottle... jin: so our idea was initially to colorize the solution so you could see where you're spraying the transparent disinfectant

because you can't escape the math problem. there is a fundamental math problem. when you and i were flying when we were young, think about this. we would show up at the aircraft and there would be two crew chiefs, primary and dedicated. and then we would taxi to the runway and there would be a different team doing last chance we called it, pulling pins. and then we would take off, do our sortie flight location and another crew waiting for us there. so here's what happens today. you taxi slow. because the same single crew chief has to get in the van. and then fly slow, because that crew chief has got to get in the c-17 and fly to the destination. the challenge is it masks the problem. right? because if you go back and look at the stats, did you take off on time? yes. did you fly your sortie? yes. right? but did you do that on the backs of those young men and women who were out there turning wrenches of the airplanes? yeah. we've got to get more people and make sure we've got -- again, that cultural family approach to this business. the other thing -- i don't know.
