Hamilton, Jefferson, and Fractions: Math and the U.S. House of Representatives
Wednesday January 8, 2025 8:30am - 9:45am PST
We're look at an interesting real math problem relating to the United States Congress. Why does Alabama have 7 representatives? It turns out the answer isn't as simple as you'd think, and it involves some division, some fascinating mathematical paradoxes, and some incredible history. Where else can you discuss Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and square roots all in one 75 minute session?

CS Scripting: Can a Computer Program Write a Paper for You?
Wednesday January 8, 2025 12:05pm - 2:40pm PST
Have you ever had to write a five-page paper, but only filled up four pages? This workshop will teach you how to write a computer program to solve this problem! We’ll discuss strategies and algorithms for generating “random text”. Then, using the Python programming language, we’ll write a program that does what we want. This workshop would be appropriate for all levels of programming experience, from beginning to more advanced.
