Hints about Relatively Prime

Although we all know Samuel Hansen will do a fantastic job telling stories behind mathematics, provided you donate some money to help him do so, we don't entirely know what those stories will be. Here are a list of tweets I've seen on Samuel's Twitter stream about this, giving hints.

help me tell people how crickets led to a better understanding of Kevin Bacon through math

Why does it seems that 20% of your friends get you 80% of your news?

Can slime molds make Steiner trees?

Networks are the basis of our social lives & what I'm trying to leverage to support my Kickstarter Relatively Prime

True story: It take 362 pages to prove 1+1=2. Find out more by Supporting the Relatively Prime Kickstarter.

Can a war over a math discovery make a country to fall years behind in science?

Ever wonder what how a river and logic could both lead to the same mathematical discovery?

Wondering if you can musically represent a function? Support Relatively Prime and I will have the chance to answer

Parallel lines intersect at exactly two points! Find out why this is true by supporting Relatively Prime.

The shape of the Internet is hyperbolic. And if you want to know why support my kickstarter Relatively Prime


Plus there's the original hint on the Kickstarter page:
is it true that you are only 7 seven handshakes from the President, what exactly is a micromort, and how did 39 people commenting on a blog manage to prove a deep theorem ... With each episode structured around topics such as: The Shape of Things, Risk, and Calculus Wars, Relatively Prime will illuminate each area by delving into the history, applications, and people that underlie the subject that is the foundation of all science


So if you haven't got the message yet, find out about these stories by supporting Relatively Prime. My previous post focused on ways you can help as well as donating, including a ready-written blog post for you to put on your blog.
