COURSE DESCRIPTION
Participants will explore puzzles and activities drawn from probability, logic, game theory, geometry, number theory, and operations research. Sources include works by well-known authors as well as original materials developed by the course leader. After brief introductions to the material, participants will work together to discuss and solve problems using pencil and paper, dice, mathematical origami, paper folding and cutting, and democratic math debates. Specific topics may include the Golden Rectangle, Pascal's Triangle, gerrymandering, fractal constructions, Prisoner's Dilemma, and Logicians versus Pirates.

All ages, backgrounds, and math skills are welcome. There are no mathematical prerequisites — just a sense of humor, curiosity, and common sense! (Note: all new material for 2024!)
