In Praise of Not Paying Attention, with Barry Cipra

MoMath is delighted to welcome mathematician and freelance writer Barry Cipra, whose reporting has kept us informed for decades about the latest developments in mathematics, as he describes some mathematical puzzles, problems, and games he has dreamt up over the years while letting his mind wander during math lectures and other occasions.  Join us for a stimulating presentation that will certainly give you things to think about...whether you pay attention to his talk or not!
