About this Event
Solving Mathematical Mysteries
Much as mysteries in fiction consider evidence, find common patterns, and draw logical conclusions to solve crimes, mathematical mysteries are unlocked using the same tools. This talk exposes secrets behind a numerical magic trick, a geometric puzzle, and an unknown quantity to find a fascinating pattern with connections to art, architecture, and nature.
Dr. Jenny Quinn is dedicated to making mathematics accessible, appreciated, and humane. An award-winning teacher, author, and scholar, she earned her doctorate in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin and taught for more than 30 years at the collegiate level, primarily at Occidental College and the University of Washington Tacoma. She served as President of the Mathematical Association of America in 2021 and 2022 and now leads the Seattle Universal Math Museum as its Executive Director, where she works to spark curiosity and joy in mathematics for people of all ages. A true math enthusiast, Jenny especially delights in sharing the beauty of Fibonacci numbers and other surprising patterns that connect math to the wider world.
