In this episode, we sit down with renowned mathematician Francis Su to explore the intersections of Asian American identity, mathematics, and visibility. As the first non-white president of the Mathematical Association of America and author of Mathematics for Human Flourishing, Francis shares his personal journey—from grappling with stereotypes to discovering the joy of mathematics through inquiry and community.
We also discuss the model minority myth, the power of belonging in math spaces, and why math should be about human connection, not just achievement. Plus, we chat about about red bean buns, childhood nostalgia, and food memories!
