Math Encounters: "Tag Deal: Discrete Chaos in a Deck of Cards" with Barry Cipra on January 12, 2022
Insanity, it’s sometimes said, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Mathematics, it might be said, often involves doing the same thing over and over and actually achieving different results. Join freelance mathematics writer Barry Cipra for some mathematical insanity with Tag Deal, a game of unpredictable repetition. Special introduction by Laura Helmuth, Scientific American Editor-in-Chief.
Math Encounters is a public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, presented by the Simons Foundation and the National Museum of Mathematics.
