We expect this event to book up very quickly. Please complete the expression of interest form as soon as possible. We will then confirm if your request has been successful.
For this on campus event, we are exploring the three major mathematical of notions of geometry, probability theory and arithmetic in a series of activities and presentations. These are very versatile theories that are incredibly useful even when we least expect it.
Join us for a magical presentation, which combines all three in fun ways in order to create magic tricks. Then, we will see how modern board games such as Dominos, Dobble or Set are created using geometric notions such as graphs and projective planes. Finally, we will discuss the Monty Hall paradox-a famous counter-intuitive result in conditional probability - can be understood from a TV show of the seventies!
If your student group has not previously visited us, we are happy to ensure that a campus tour is included in the day.
