Other Writing
Charles Seife began writing about science and mathematics in college. Shortly after graduation, his first professional piece, a profile of mathematician John Horton Conway, was published in The Sciences. As graduate student in mathematics, he continued writing, and a brief stint with The Economist in London convinced him to become a full-time journalist.
After returning to the United States, he wrote for Science, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and a number of other outlets. In 1997, Seife became a U.S. Correspondent for New Scientist magazine, where he wrote about physics, astronomy, computer science, and mathematics. In 2000, he moved to Science magazine, where he remained until his appointment as a professor at New York University. He continues to freelance as well as write books.
Seife was a writer for the television documentary "100 Greatest Discoveries," which aired on the Science Channel. He was also a scientific consultant for the BBC documentary "The Story of 1," which appeared on BBC One and PBS.
