"Making Democracy Count": On Math & Politics with Ismar Volic

Join us on Saturday, October 12th (6pm) with Wellesley Professor Ismar Volic as he discusses his objective view on the power of mathematical analysis on many of the processes of democracy that we witness every day. With concrete detail and practical confidence, Volic projects a more inclusive and comprehensive political future.

On 'Making Democracy Count': "What’s the best way to determine what most voters want when multiple candidates are running? What’s the fairest way to allocate legislative seats to different constituencies? What’s the least distorted way to draw voting districts? Not the way we do things now. In this timely guide, Ismar Volić empowers us to use mathematical thinking as an objective, nonpartisan framework that rises above the noise and rancor of today’s divided public square."
