"Up To One Million Dollars In Prize Money May Be Given Away!"

with ​Chaim Goodman-Strauss

Friday, May 30
6:30 pm to 8:00 pm

(in person)

What number would you pick to win a million (imaginary) dollars?  It may sound simple — until you start considering what everyone else might choose… and what they’re thinking about you!  Join mathematician Chaim Goodman-Strauss for an evening of interactive experiments and strategic challenges as we explore the fascinating world of game theory.  Through engaging hands-on games, we’ll test how our choices are shaped by the decisions of others and uncover the mathematical principles behind real-world strategies.  Can discussing the game change the outcome?  What patterns emerge when we think collectively?  Put game theory to the test in this fun and thought-provoking event.

Family Fridays is designed to bring family members of all ages together to enjoy a diverse array of engaging mathematical activities, promoting interest and enthusiasm among kids and adults alike.

Thanks to the generous support of Two Sigma, this program is free to attendees.
