  • Summary

  • Welcome to "On A Tangent", where we tell the stories behind the mathematics. In each episode, we meet a different early career mathematician from Mathematics Münster, and learn about their research, their path towards mathematics, and their hopes for the future. We explore the many different shapes that mathematical research can take, the early memories that led people towards the subject, and try to understand a little bit better the voices that make the mathematical community of today. Hosted by Simone Ramello, produced by the science communication team of Mathematics Münster Music by AlexGrohl from Pixabay Graphics by Melina Aggelidakis
