Did you know that "The Simpsons" and "Futurama" contain hundreds of humorous mathematical and scientific references? These programs are an ideal source of fun ways to introduce important concepts and to reduce math anxiety. In fact, popular culture can reveal, reflect, and even shape how society views mathematics. While it can be a powerful way to engage the public, care must be taken because stereotypical representations of mathematicians can actually be discouraging. We'll explore the pedagogical value and related mathematical content of some favorite moments along with the motivations and backgrounds of the writers during an interactive talk. In the process we'll look at related, recent work in geometry and computational number theory, including some information about my own work. A calculator and writing utensil will be useful. The only prerequisites are an open mind. For more information, check out SimpsonsMath.com.
