Buzzword Math:
"P vs NP"
Monday, February 28 at 6:30 pm ET (New York)
Appropriate for ages 14 and up.
(online)
You've undoubtedly heard some mathematical phrases without knowing what they really mean. In this three-part series, Paul Zeitz will help us explore a few of the more common mathematical "buzzwords" and try to make sense of them. No, we won't get to the research frontier — but after attending this series, you'll be able to more than hold your own at even the nerdiest of cocktail parties!
In this session, we'll tackle "P vs NP." You may have heard that this is one of the thorniest and most consequential problems in all of mathematics, and that its resolution would instantly change the way we think about computation. Why is "computation" important, and what do those letters actually mean?
