- [00:00:21.640]One of the things that I most love is how the same idea,
- [00:00:24.910]underlying idea can apply to different situations.
- [00:00:27.660]And so I wanted to just pick one example of that.
- [00:00:30.240]So I picked integers, modular 12,
- [00:00:32.430]which is basically the clock arithmetic,
- [00:00:34.420]how whenever you get to 11 and then you add 2,
- [00:00:37.900]you don't go to 13, but you go back to 1 again.
- [00:00:40.490]And I showed how that idea, which is very simple
- [00:00:42.540]and something we see in everyday life
- [00:00:44.150]actually applies both to something that I did in my thesis
- [00:00:47.700]and to music theory, which I used in the song that I wrote.
- [00:00:51.604]♪ The clock is ticking by ♪
- [00:00:53.983]♪ Give me one more try ♪
- [00:01:02.205]♪ I hear the world a brighter way ♪
- [00:01:07.339]♪ When I'm listening through you ♪
- [00:01:13.659]♪ Clarity breaks like night to day ♪
- [00:01:19.230]We want everybody to be able to do
- [00:01:22.170]what they want to do and what they're good at,
- [00:01:24.090]and if we don't have a lot of women already in there,
- [00:01:26.950]then the girls who might be thinking about doing that
- [00:01:29.450]don't have role models and they don't,
- [00:01:31.660]you know, it's harder for them to do it.
- [00:01:33.020]And so they might decide, well, I could do math,
- [00:01:35.400]but then I'm going to be like the only woman
- [00:01:36.850]in this math department,
- [00:01:37.930]which I don't really want to be,
- [00:01:39.350]so I'll do something else instead.
- [00:01:41.470]And so we're losing that talented person
- [00:01:44.730]who would have contributed because
- [00:01:46.361]our society made her choose a different direction instead.
