JOIN THE FUN ON JULY 11th – 4:00 PM

INTERESTING & WEIRD MATHEMATICIANS –

AND STORIES ABOUT THEM (Part 1)

PREVIEW OF STORIES

This 40-minute session will share several fun stories involving various mathematicians and events in their lives, from the BCE era to the present.  You’ll have several laughs – and learn some fun stuff also!  NO math is required. 🙂

There are enough stories to fill (at least) two sessions, so we won’t get to ALL of these, but you will certainly hear some of them: *

1.Cardano:  The ultimate WEIRD!

2.The 3 Greatest?  (And a story for each?)

3.Frank Cole: A Standing Ovation for a Talk where NOTHING was said!

4.Descartes: Reasons to sleep in?

5.Hypatia:  First Woman & Her Sad/Ironic Death

6.No Nobel Prize in Math? A non-mathematical ‘triangle’?

7. Napier: Two Stories for the Birds

8.Pythagoras:  A mathematical cult

9. Mersenne:  Math’s tantalizing remark

10. Ramanjuan (& Hardy): Taxi #1729?

And So Many More (including an apocryphal Einstein story!)

*If you have specific requests, mention them when you register!!

YOU’RE IN LUCK (Again)!  The Price is Right!
