Pulse-Project Math/Maths Weekly Podcasts

A conversation about mathematics between the UK and USA from Pulse-Project.org. The podcast is going on hiatus for a few months, so Samuel and Peter give a short goodbye, with: mathematical Christmas presents; a list of back-episodes to listen to on special topics or with special guests; other podcasts to try; what they're doing for the next six months; and a heartfelt thanks and goodbye.
