Each month, MoMath’s 2023–2024 Distinguished Visiting Professor, Ingrid Daubechies, will host an hour of discussion about a featured episode of the crime drama Numb3rs, a television series (2005-2010) in which a Caltech professor uses mathematics to assist his older brother, an FBI agent, in various criminal investigations. Join us for an engaging conversation around each episode’s connection to mathematics, either in its content or its creation. At the end of each discussion, cast your vote to help decide which of the 118 episodes will be chosen for future sessions!
