Friday News Jul 12: Weekly Socials, G4G15 Videos, Tributes

  • G4G Weekly Socials

    Our weekly Socials are held on Sunday at 1 pm Atlanta time (check the time for you here).

    We are using the Zoom Meeting platform here (not Zoom Webinar as we do for our monthly CoM presentations on the 21st). So for these Sundays socials we will all be able to see each other.

    Upcoming Sessions:

    Sun 14 Jul – Aurelio Sánchez Estévez will present his Ilusiones Matemáticas
    Sun 21 Jul –
    TBA – REDISCOVERING MARTIN GARDNER’S MATHEMATICAL GAMES COLUMN FROM SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
    Sun 28 Jul – TBA

    We welcome theme suggestions for the G4G Weekend Socials. Would you like to lead such a social, perhaps with a fresh look at a favorite Martin Gardner column (or book)? A magic effect you invented? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.

    All information can be found here.

  • Sunday Social, July 14, Ilusiones Matemáticas

    Ilusiones Matemáticas is a fantastic and beautifully illustrated new book by Aurelio Sánchez Estévez from Spain that covers a great range of magic, illusions, paradoxes, Escher, games, and puzzles.
    The author will present on this material at MoMath in NYC in a few months.  Join us this Sunday, July 14, at the usual time and Zoom place to get a sneak preview!

  • G4G Tributes

    We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes. To share your memories or anecdotes, please email us, support@g4gfoundation.org
