TweetEpisode Details
Original tape date: June 4, 2024. First aired: June 24, 2024.On this episode of CUNY Laureates, we profile five more MacArthur Fellows who graduated from the City University of New York. Mitchell Feigenbaum manages to find order in chaos with the discovery of a mathematical constant that now bears his name. Persi Diaconis has studied probability and math all his life, yet his journey to randomness started with magic tricks. Finally, Ocean Vuong, Annie Baker, and Irving Feldman are three very different writers, but together, their experimentation with language and convention pushes the art form into new frontiers.
