Connected Components of Chaos
A podcast where logic meets lunacy, and graphs guide the way through the madness! Join us as we explore the beautiful intersections of mathematical logic, graph theory, discrete math, computer science, and the quirky chaos of everyday life. From proving theorems to untangling graph traversals, we’ll connect seemingly random dots to create a web of ideas that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening.
