The Virtual Celebration of Mind in Panama took place on Monday, October 26th, 2020 from 10 am until 11:30 am, with Dr. Ricardo Teixeira, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Houston – Victoria in the United States, as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.

The invited speaker started the virtual event by sharing stories about Martin Gardner’s life, who is known as being the best friend of mathematics. Dr. Ricardo Teixeira presented several mathemagic tricks that appear in Martin Gardner’s books, including a magic trick using playing cards, a trick that involves parity and a trick with cyclic numbers.
