Power in Numbers
Buy Power in Numbers by Talithia Williams on Amazon
You need to know the history of math; you need to understand that, you know, part of my book, 'Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics,' was really to highlight that women have also contributed.
Talithia Williams, the podcast guest, discusses her book, 'Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics', emphasizing the significance of recognizing women's contributions to mathematics. This mention occurs during a conversation with host Steve Levitt.
I also feel like we spend so much time in high school on math that was relevant in the 1960s to people like Katherine Johnson, who you write about in your book, 'Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics', that isn't very relevant anymore.
In this part of the conversation, guest Talithia Williams references her book 'Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics' while discussing Katherine Johnson's contributions to mathematics and how traditional education may overlook such relevant figures.
