In Mapmatics, Dr. Paulina Rowinska delves into how mathematics intertwines with cartography, influencing our understanding of the world. From historical maps that still guide navigators, considering their implications on global perspectives, to the mathematics behind districting maps affecting community voices, and public transit maps that shape daily commutes, Rowinska explores the significant impact maps and math have on our spatial and temporal perception. Through engaging narratives, she demonstrates the fundamental role maps play in diverse scenarios. These stories not only highlight the practical applications of mapmatics but also encourage a deeper appreciation for the mathematical intellect that constructs our worldview, offering insights into preserving and understanding our planet.
