Please put the following event on your website map. At our Oct. 20thMartin Gardner celebration at Butler University (9:30am-12nn) room 183 Jordan Hall, we will start with a brief demonstration of the 12 Scientific American covers inspired by Gardner’s column. A cake will have the first cover (November 1958) printed in frosting on it ( a square divided into smaller squares).
I will also hand out a Puzzle and Game of size 4×4 inspired by the November 1959 (the second cover) issue on Euler Latin squares. (see attached)
We then expect the students in our M. Gardner class to present their own puzzles and games all with a Gardner theme.

Featured Guests: Stage Show
http://www.msri.org/ckeditor_assets/pictures/539/content_8849253.jpg
Mark Mitton is a professional magician who is fascinated by using magic to better understand how we see the world. In addition to performing at private and corporate events all over the world, and creating magic for film, television, the Broadway stage, and Cirque du Soleil, Mark tirelessly explores the theme of Misdirection’ from an interdisciplinary standpoint. He regularly presents on Perception’ at universities and conferences in North America and Europe, including the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness, and has lectured with the late Nobel laureate Dr. Gerald Edelman of The Neurosciences Institute.
Mark was the apprentice to legendary sleight-of-hand master and vaudevillian Slydini, and a long-time student of Ozzie Malini the son of turn-of-the-century magician Max Malini. He has performed for Mick Jagger, Beyonce, Jay-Z, John Mayer, Katy Perry, Salman Rushdie, Sienna Miller, Mark Messier, Sting, Sylvester Stallone, and many others; at festivals in Europe and Asia; at the Olympic Games; in war-torn Liberia; in hospital wards around New York City; and in a Mexican orphanage with members of the band Guster. His magical hands are featured in a They Might Be Giants video, and he appears in Tony Oursler’s latest video project Imponderable’, in which he plays both Oursler’s grandfather Fulton Oursler and Harry Houdini.

Cliff Stoll: Familiar to many East Bay residents, Cliff Stoll can be found engaging withmath lovers of all ages with his http://www.kleinbottle.com, manyappearances on YouTube’s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAsICMPwGPY) channel, and his boundless energy to share his passion for math and science with the world.
Peace Comes to the Unusual Kingdoms: Many people are familiar with “Peter and the Wolf”, the musical symphony written in 1936 by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev to invite children to learn more about orchestras.
In the same spirit, MSRI trustee Jeff Goodby has teamed with composer Jack Perla to write “Peace Comes to theUnusual Kingdoms”, a new children’s musicalsymphony that explores the connections between music and math! It will have its world premiere later this month by the Oakland Symphony, led by another MSRI Trustee, Maestro Michael Morgan.
Other Activities
The California Mathematics Festival:Hands-on fun for students in grades K-8! The Festivalconsists of 12 to 18 different highly interactive problem solving activity stations where students use everything from blocks and beans to laptop computers to solve tasks.The whole family can enjoy an opportunity to enjoy mathematics together and learn about the mathematics their children study at school. ( http://cmc-math.org/activities/math_festival.html )
Mathical: Books for Kids from Tots to Teens:The Mathical Book Prize is an annual award for fiction and nonfiction books that inspirechildren of all ages to see math in the world around them. These titles are as varied as the intersection between literature and mathematics ‚ that is to say, they encompass picture books, novels, poetry collections, puzzle books, biographies, and more!Join us for read-alouds for younger children and families, while older kids can explore the full collection of Mathical Award Winners and Mathical Honor Books in our library.(h ttp://mathicalbooks.org/ )
Hands-On Math Activities:From mathematical balloon builds to paper crafts and puzzles, there’s lots to try and enjoy for kids and families. Activities are presented by Stan Isaacs (College of San Mateo) and MSRI staff and friends. Want to get in the spirit early? Try this, Vanishing Cheshire Cat activity.
