hey dansmathfans - i was just interviewed for iProng magazine (by bill palmer) about my website www.dansmath.com and my podcast, and there i am alongside swimmer Natalie Coughlin and rock legend Journey! visit www.iprong.com and look for the sept. 18, 2008 issue. read all about me, my background, and the making of the dansmath empire!

some serious podfading this year; i am in production of show #34 but left it to go to las vegas. i just got interviewed on twitlive with leo laporte (older picture at right) and on iprong radio with bill palmer. i'm enjoying being recognized around the convention center!

ok, i know there have been no podcasts for a while ... i am putting show #34 together and i have also joined some groups: www.flickr.com/dansmath , www.twitter.com/dansmath , wwwcalteachers.org , www.edu20.org , and www.wiziq.com ... the last two or three are online teacher-resource-learning-community-social things!

only a true math geek would wear a "FOIL" shirt to a public gathering / "First, Outside, Inside, Last" takes on a new meaning at my favorite Chinese restaurant / listen to episode 31 for the occasion / working on episode 34 to "keep algebra fresh" in 2008 %;-}

happy 2008 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 251 from all of us at dansmath.com (me, myself and \/(-1).) dan is recording podcast 33 and it will be out very soon, so warm up those ipods!

hey dansmathfans / i have been meaning to put up a math picture gallery for a long time / here is a start / go to www.dansmath.com and click the picture gallery button / four ways to view a 3D functioni / those nested circles / poking holes in polyhedra / morphed curves and more !

hey dansmathcast fans / i am down at the podcast expo in \"spacious\" Ontario, Calif. / i tried to get a show out before i left but ran out of time / i\'ll be back from my summer hiatus next week with more math content for you!

sorry dansmathheds - i was away from the microphone for a couple of months there - i was finishing up my sabbatical project (writing another math book) and getting ready to start school for the first time in 15 months - "teaching again now" as i would say at twitter.com/dansmath - podcast 32 is on its way to you - thanks for your patience, fellow math geeks!

a community event in san francisco! (not frisco, not san fran) the podcast hotel will "celebrate indie culture, podcasting, digital music, and the arts." dansmathcast will be represented there with schwag: cool new lapel buttons, green/purple cards, and dan him(my)self. go to www.podcasthotel.com for more!

yes, it's true - i'm going to be presenting at this fall's podcast and portable media expo, on iLearnRadio's educational panel. that's great exposure for our program of choice, dansmathcast! i'll speak about aspects of technology (blogging and podcasting) and how they can benefit teachers, students, and other learners.

woodhead says: go to www.dansmath.com and check out dan's new problem of the week, about five runners going ten miles / have you seen dansmathflix #1, woodhead and safir? if not, you're left right out! / another podcast is on the way, with more mathematical things to say!

it's coming soon at DVC (where i teach), but uc berkeley (my "old school") has a page now on iTunes U / i gave a presentation this week at LMC (another college in our district), plugging dansmathcast mercilessly as they prepare to get on the iTunes U bandwagon / thanks for supporting my show!

i am working on my next podcast / and will be speaking at a math teachers conference this week / showing some of my mathematica graphics and animations and plugging my podcast / my new problem-of-the-week #256 is up now on www.dansmath.com / i dare you to try it-- no charge! % ;-}

with the midterm elections (and midterm exams) behind us, we might start looking at other voting systems, besides the simple "plurality" / there are "instant runoff" and other surprising methods used in other parts of the world / we'll look into these on upcoming podcast #22

hello runners and math nerds - are we a small or large intersection on the big venn diagram of life? / i just finished the silicon valley half marathon in record time - my slowest ever! / now working on show #21 - it will be out by halloween with more good math stuff for you!

your math class should make sense, but it shouldn't be so easy it's a joke / challenge yourself with some of the harder homework problems, even ones that aren't assigned / if you need a break from studying, listen to the math joke at the end of each of my podcasts!

here i am at the podcast expo in southern calif - in the libsyn car! i met lots of famous podcasters and bloggers, and got some exposure for dansmathcast / especially nice was talking to leo laporte, adam christianson of the maccast, 'shooby' kumar, and john 'oneminutetip' chambers, voices i knew well from their shows!

it's that time of the year again - students are buying books (such as the bach & leitner classic shown in the picture) and going online (for example www.dansmath.com), just to learn the world's most important subject: math! (is there anything of mine i haven't plugged?) so keep listening to my podcast, and watch for dansmathflix #2 soon.

thank you for subscribing, voting, commenting, and of course listening / what an honor to find dansmathcast listed in the top 20 on podcast alley / many people say math is like a foreign language, and that's partly true / i am completing work on dansmathflix #2, "ways of seeing numbers" / it should be out in a couple or three weeks, after episode #17 / check for new links and directories listing dansmathcast soon!

dansmathcast has been persuaded by iLearn Radio Network to join its lineup of scheduled educational podcasts! / you can now hear my show as it might sound on a radio playlist / go to iLearnRadio.org and check their "playing today" list. please e-mail me at podcast@dansmath.com if you try listening using their java player; let me know how you like the experience / and thanks iLearn and BX Radio Network (makers of CoolCast radio as well) !

hey there dansmathheads / this is me running in the 2005 san francisco marathon / i ran for me and to benefit the National AIDS Foundation / i was slow but determined in that race / just like many math students; success takes perseverance / another chapter done in a series of math courses is like one more mile down in a marathon !

to my loyal and/or casual listeners / thanks for your continued support / as you can see, i'm busy at the moment; i'll be recording my next podcast shortly / am i working hard, or hardly working? / meanwhile try my problem of the week, browse my problem archives, and download all my old podcasts!

whatever you do, you can do it better if you know some math. some of my students have said they thought it was impossible that they would ever pass, not to mention enjoy, a math class! this picture may look like an impossible object, but if you're looking at it, how impossible can it be? (podcast 13 on the way)

"know your podcaster" / one of the regular features on my math podcast / others are "chapter of the week" although the show comes out twice a month) / mathematics for the masses / advanced math topic of the week / viewer mail (ok, reader & listener mail) / speaking of knowing me, have you listened to podcasts # 1 - 11 yet? / #12 is on the way, with pythagorean theorem at the kentucky derby!

hi dansmathfans - podcast #7 is in the works! this time it's the burning question my students always ask - "how do we do word problems?" - which comes after the question, "what are we gonna use all this math for?" - also coming up this weekend: the basics of calculus - so check back in a couple of days!

hello dansmath-heads, thanks for your support. i have a cartoon, woodhead and safir, and several mathematica animations done and in the works. do you want to see them, and is it ok to mix videos into this same feed? speak your piece at podcast@dansmath.com, and feel free to vote for dansmathcast at podcastalley.com too! (icosahedron drawn with mathematica)

by now all you students and teachers are into your spring semester or winter quarter; work hard, do your math! / i have some animations and movies i was going to post here, but judging from comments at inside mac radio, people don't like mixing videos and audios in the same feed; they can't watch videos on most players / but if you would like to get my movies i will be posting some on my website starting in february / go to www.dansmath.com / vote for dansmathcast at podcastalley.com / thanks dansmathfans!
