Creativity and maths have never been two words that I have put together… until now. In this episode of Creativity: Uncovered, I chatted with data scientist Noah Healy, who is a recreational mathematician in his spare time.

He shared with me how maths is one of the most creative acts out there, how it helps us understand the world around us and how it requires a curious, imaginative mind.

This episode will encourage you to rethink what you know about maths and creativity, and hopefully broaden your view on both.

Happy listening!
