MATHEMATICS AND MAGIC at the National Museum of Mathematics in NEW YORK

USPA NEWS - “We have to more often think about connections between Mathematics and Real World,““” said Persi Diaconis in the course of his Mathematical showcase Between Combinatorics and Chocolate at the National Museum of MatheMatics on August 2nd, 2017.

“I will predict the result,“ “” he said; mathematicians in the audience knew that it is not a magical provision, but “¦, “Yes, I knew the result upfront “” I derived and proved the formula, which “predicts“ the result,““”revealed Dr. Diaconis in a moment.
In engaging and emotional Mathematical Talk at the National Museum of Mathematics in New York, Professor of Statistics at Stanford University and former Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University Dr. Persi Diaconis demonstrated practical application of a coagulation-fragmentation model used in physics, chemistry, astronomy, and biology in “¦ mathematical trickery with his derived “chocolate formula“ for the fragmentation process.
“One of the benefits of this event is that at the end people are fed with chocolate,““” remarked Prof. Deacons with a humor, while fragmented chocolate pieces were distributed to the audience.
Professor Diaconis at a time was “one of the best card mechanics in the country. He does a fantastic second deal and bottom deal,“ “” wrote legendary Martin Gardner “” popular and recreational Mathematics writer and columnist. He, also, performed as a magician with cards tricks.

Mathematician and Magician “” Persi Deacons at the Event was introduced by Matthew Goldstein, Chancellor Emeritus of the City University of New York. For more information, please, visit: https://momath.org.
