This is Masters in Business with Barry Rittoltz on Bloomberg Radio.

I have an extra special guest.

His name is Thomas Lynn and he has a fascinating background in math and science as well as

journalism.

He is the founding editor of Quantum Magazine, which is a news and math website founded

and funded by Jim Simons Foundation.

Simons is the founder of Renaissance Technologies, one of the most successful hedge funds in

the world.

Jim Simons and his wife Marilyn run a philanthropic foundation where they are very interested in

math and science education.

Both at the most basic level, educating American students to be better at math and science

ends as you'll see with Quanta at the very highest levels.

I've been a fan of the site for since it launched, it's really quite fascinating.

You don't need a PhD in mathematics or science to be able to keep up with it.

It's really intriguing.

Thomas has done a wonderful job finding some of the most interesting research and stories

and breaking news about the latest discoveries in math and science and making it very readable

and very accessible.

If you're at all interested in science and math and really all of us should be, then I

think you'll find this conversation to be absolutely fascinating.

So with no further ado, my conversation with Quantum Magazine's editor in chief, Thomas

Lynn.
