Episode 5: Social Maths

What can math and social insects tell us about what happens when concepts or individuals come together? Are we more than the sum of our parts? In this episode, Andrea Stine, a grad student in UCR’s Department of Mathematics, and Dr. Brian Whyte, who completed his PhD in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC Berkeley, join us to explore emergent properties, the ideas of scaling and relationship in their fields, and different systems to determine truth.
