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 Sunday socials we will all be able to see each other.
Upcoming Sessions:Sun 25 Oct – Dana Mackenzie with “How to Solve a 2000-Year Old Math Problem.”
This lecture tells the story of a recreational math problem inspired by events that took place in ancient China, more than 2300 years ago. The modern framing of the problem was proposed in 1980, and I solved it (partially) in 2013, and collaborated in a complete solution a year later. I call it “Master Sun’s Problem,” and I have written a book by the same name that was published last week by Princeton University Press. My goal in the book was to enable math explorers of all ages and backgrounds to experience the subject in the same way that mathematicians do, through the story of the solution of one problem. My motto is that the journey to a solution is just as important as the solution itself — a point of view that I have seen expressed by a number of other mathematicians in the “AI summer” of 2026.
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.

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.
