Hey there! I’m Defne, a high school senior who’s probably way too excited about math.
Whether you love math or still have flashbacks to that one impossible algebra test, I promise there’s something here for you. Tune in, and let’s make math cool (or at least, slightly less terrifying) together!
Elections are supposed to reflect the will of the people—but do they really? In this episode, I take a look at Condorcet's work, a mathematician who tried to make voting fairer. From plurality voting to ranked-choice systems, we’ll explore the flaws that still haunt elections today. Is democracy as fair as we think? Let’s find out !
