Polynomials: Operations and Factoring | Our latest episode illuminates the concept of polynomials, sharing how these under-appreciated mathematical heroes silently structure our universe, impacting everything from daily comforts of brewing coffee to high-tech video gaming experiences. 

Discover how polynomials navigate the winding city blocks, lend realism to the virtual gaming worlds, optimise your vehicle designs and even choreograph the celestial dance of planets and comets. We shall also find out how the world of cryptography uses polynomials to build unbreakable digital fortresses, sketching out the robust algorithms to keep your virtual transactions secure.

Join us in marvelling at the unseen architects of our everyday lives and be inspired by their hidden hand guiding us towards a future of infinite possibilities.

What is Sleep With Philosophy?

Big ideas, softly spoken.

Unwind with the lives and ideas of the world’s great thinkers—told softly, slowly, and with care. Each episode offers a gentle journey through the reflections of a single philosopher: from the quiet ethics of Confucius to the inner doubts of Descartes, the radical hope of Spinoza to the solitude of Simone Weil. Whether you're curious about philosophy or simply seeking calm at day’s end, Sleep with Philosophy offers a peaceful place to listen, wonder, and let go.
