Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., Exhibit Hall D

Description: Don't miss this unique opportunity for a different perspective on mathematics. On display are works in various media by artists who are inspired by mathematics, and by mathematicians who use visual art to express their findings. Topology, fractals, polyhedra, and tiling are some of the ideas at play here.

Time: 10:00 a.m.: Four Seasons Ballroom 1

Description: Show your support for top high school students from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. in the Who Wants to Be a Mathematician Championship as they compete for a US$5,000 first prize for themselves and US$5,000 for their school’s math department. Come match wits with the contestants, support their mathematical achievement, and have tremendous fun at the same time.

Description: Guidobaldo del Monte (1545-1647), a patron and friend of Galileo Galilei, believed he had witnessed the creation of something out of nothing when he established mathematically that zero equals one. He thereby thought that proved the existence of God! Although I daren't be so bold with my claims, I am willing to prove instead that one equals two. And, moreover, just to convince you that I am right I will do so multiple times, drawing upon ideas from algebra and arithmetic, coloring and experiment, physical action and pure thought! Will you find fault with any of my "proofs?"

Description: The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival (JRMF) is an outreach event with many tables, each consisting of a mathematical game, puzzle, problem set, or activity. Participants (students, teachers, and faculty) will move among the tables, choosing for themselves which activity to engage in and the length of time they spend on the activity. Facilitators will manage the work, guiding and offering hints, but not demonstrating or teaching – creating a space for participants to discover, explore, and enjoy mathematics. The activities are highly interactive, will vary in complexity, and will evolve in structure in response to the choices made by participants. The event will also provide faculty and teachers and opportunity to experience the JRMF for themselves and learn how they might bring it back to their own university, school, or math circle.offer, and on the logistics and dynamics of running an effective circle. The sponsor for this demonstration is SIGMAA MCST.

Time: 3:00 p.m.: Four Seasons Ballroom 2, 3, 4

Description: Stereotypes permeate the perceptions of people who are either athletic or analytical. The disciplines of mathematics and sports have been kept at a distance, yet they share a commonality of deep interest in numbers. In this talk, I’ll detail how the emergence of new kinds of data and novel applications of it are building bridges across two worlds where no one is afraid of a decimal point.
