As is our tradition, we’ll end this academic year with our 13th annual “picnic math course.” G4G is Gathering4Gardner, “a community of people who share Martin Gardner’s interests and was founded by Tom Rodgers, a Gardner fan and puzzle collector. Gardner is celebrated and honored for popularizing recreational mathematics, bringing delightful, magical, and wondrous mathematics to laymen and mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.” In this course, participants will open the gift exchange bag from G4G15, the 15th Gathering that met in Atlanta in 2024. The “puzzles, magic tricks, artwork, papers, novelty items, books, etc” make up “a collection of items Martin Gardner might find intriguing.” We’ll explore the mathematical foundation underlying the items in this collection that the participants find intriguing.
