UC Berkeley made international headlines after a video surfaced showing campus police pushing and beating students with batons. One math professor, Nathan Ilten, saw those videos and was inspired to help bring awareness to the issue of police brutality on campus. He reached out to fellow mathematicians to help put together a “teach-out” on UC Berkeley’s  campus.

Turnstyle filmed one of the six teach-outs at Berkeley, Professor Andrew Critch’s “The Mathematics of Altruism and Civic Involvement.” The class included a review of the simple order-of-magnitude calculations and how they often show that altruistic behaviors — like voting and civic engagement — can have a huge expected impact on social issues.
