The 14th Annual Spring Conference was held in Stateline, NV on Apr 30 - May 1, 2010 at the MontBleu Casino and Spa.
Friday Keynote Speaker: Allan Ackerman, College of Southern Nevada
Mathamagic
This is a mathematical magic show. Mind-blowing effects using the commutative law of addition, the Pigeonhole Principle, a.k.a. Dirichlet’s Box, the binary number system, and mathematical induction will be presented. Several topics from gaming will also be demonstrated. Several effects will be taught that are simple enough to be used in the classroom.
Saturday Keynote Speaker: Ron Graham, UC San Diego
Mathematics of Juggling
Mathematics is often described as the science of patterns. Juggling can be thought of as the art of controlling patterns in time and space. In this talk I will describe some of the newly discovered connections between mathematics and juggling.
