Have Your Pi and Eat It Too | Musings of a Math Coach

Now, as someone who has recently started college, I have essentially no time to watch any TV or do anything outside of school and sleeping. However, I hope that people in a less stressful situation are able to better appreciate my talents in the area of TV show-sleuthing. Here are some TV Shows that you can watch when you aren’t swamped with work.

1. Numb3rs

Produced by God of the Sci-Fi movies Ridley Scott and his brother Tony Scott, Numb3rs is a TV show about FBI Agent Don Eppes and his genius brother, CalSci (the fictional CalTech) professor Charlie Eppes. The show is a procedural in which Charlie Eppes uses various different mathematical formulas and equations to solve Los Angeles-based crimes. I highly recommend this TV show for anyone older than 13. This show is one of the main reasons why I was so interested in math when I was in middle and high school, as a lot of the math used in the show is similar to that which is taught in high school. Numb3rs is a great show for someone who wants a new TV show to binge. If you try to watch this show while doing homework, however, you will find that you keep accidentally watching more episodes while ignoring your Bio or Math.

2. White Collar

If you prefer your crimes to be more high-end and less gory, White Collar is the way to go. White Collar is a show about infamous con man Neal Caffrey. Caffrey works with FBI Special Agent Peter Burke, using his previous expertise to stop white collar crimes. Caffrey is played by the beautiful Matt Bomer, and he spends the first season looking for his girlfriend Kate (played by Alexandra Daddario of Percy Jackson infamy) and trying to figure out which mystery figure is threatening her because of his past. I am only about seven episodes into the first season, but I already love it. Caffrey (Bomer) exudes such charm and confidence that he is able to get answers just by flashing a smile.

3. House

And finally, if you enjoy tv shows with an overarching theme that have different main stories every week but do not like crime, I would highly suggest House M.D. The show stars Hugh Laurie (from that one episode in Friends and Veep) as the rude, sarcastic, and constantly disgruntled Dr. House. House is the leader of a team of doctors who diagnose patients with seemingly-unexplainable illnesses. If you are a fan of Sherlock, I would recommend this show to you. House’s character was inspired by Sherlock Holmes, from the way he gets bored of and dislikes uninteresting patients, refusing to do normal clinic rounds, to his use of deductive reasoning to come up with the most bizarre, yet still correct, diagnoses for people, regardless of what the rest of the hospital and his team are telling him.

I hope you enjoy watching these TV shows and I will live vicariously through all of you!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
