Speaker: | Moon Duchin Associate Professor of Mathematics Department of Mathematics Tufts University Medford/Somerville, Massachusetts, USA |
Abstract: |
What are all the ways to draw the lines, when you're dividing up a state to get representation? If you can't find them all, can you choose a good sample? I'll discuss some surprisingly simple questions about graphs and geometry that can help us make advances in policy and civil rights.
A talk given on October 23, 2021 as part of the Gathering for Gardner (G4G) Celebration of the Mind event. Video link |
