Welcome to the sixth episode of It's Not Just Numbers! For this episode we challenged a probabilist, Gilles Bonnet, and a statistician, Marco Grzegorczyk, to sit in the same room and explain us the commonalities and differences among their disciplines.

As usual we get to know our guests and then we head straight into the theme of the episode, exploring what probability and statistics are about and their complementary relationship, paving the road for some interesting future episodes.

Welcome to the sixth episode of It's Not Just Numbers! Complementing last month’s episode, we are joined by Cristóbal Bertoglio and Juan Peypouquet to discuss the multifacet world of applied mathematics.

We discuss why communicating as a researcher is more important than most people realise, and the idea that people cannot switch between different fields within mathematics.

Welcome to the fifth episode, where we focus on so-called 'pure' mathematics, together with our guests Oliver Lorscheid and Jaap Top.

We discuss the term 'pure' mathematics, the relation to applied mathematics, and a question mathematicians might come across often: why should we care about mathematics that is not immediately applicable?

Other topics of discussion are how our guests were drawn to mathematics, and how to change students' perspectives on mathematics in high school. Or is just focussing on students not enough?
