Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. Pocket-sized calculators ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, took us to the bottom of the ocean, and accompanied us to the moon. The pocket calculator changed our world, until it was supplanted by more modern devices that, in a cruel twist of irony, it helped to create. Keith Houston transports listeners from the nascent economies of the ancient world to World War II, and into the technological arms race that led to the first affordable electronic pocket calculators.

So many people dream of becoming their own boss or succeeding in their chosen profession, and with the resources available today, more entrepreneurs and professionals are achieving great success!

Glancing at the clouds and wondering how well counting the flower petals on the windowsill can help you run out the clock is a pretty common phenomenon for people who aren’t into numbers. But those connections you make aren’t just in your head. You might just be closer than you think to understanding the universe. The Voice of Math takes a deep dive into understanding numbers through the lens of humanity.
