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 28 Jul – Tony Mann with “A surprising number”
Tony will introduce a mathematical game, and tell you why it isn’t a good idea to play it.
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.

G4G Tributes
It is with great sadness that G4G notes the passing of the prolific mathematician and author Andy Liu on Mar 26, 2024.
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
