Friday News Apr 25: Weekly Socials, Virtual CoM

  • G4G Weekly Socials

    Our weekly Socials are held on Saturday 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 Saturday socials we will all be able to see each other.

    Upcoming Sessions:
    Sat 26 Apr – Arthur O’Dwyer to present on “Harary’s generalized tic-tac-toe, take two.”
    Following on last week’s talk by Shailesh Nirgudkar, Arthur will recap Harary’s two-player polyomino game, discuss some ways of categorizing polyominoes as winners and losers, show how the game naturally extends to three and more dimensions, and consider the set of “basic winning boards” induced by each winning polyomino.
     
    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  piece on critical thinking? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.

    All information can be found here.

  • G4G Tributes

    It is with sadness that G4G notes the passing of long time G4G community member Adam Atkinson on Dec 8, 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
