Mittag-Leffler

A dream that had begun back in 2010, during a semester-long program on quantum information at the Mittag-Leffler Institute near Stockholm.

Dr. Joshi chose to share Mittag-Leffler’s theorem from complex analysis with us.

You’ll have to listen to the episode to learn why le thoke and Reich are perfect pairings to Mittag-Leffler’s theorem.

For more about Mittag-Leffler’s theorem and its history, check out this Historia Mathematica article by Laura E. Turner.

But Dr. Joshi told us how the big idea of Mittag-Leffler’s theorem, the idea of taking local information and translating it into global information, is important to her work building mathematical “toolboxes” that can help people solve problems in the real world.
