SUMMARY:GEMS April 4th Session
DESCRIPTION:This GEMS session will be facilitated by Evan Rosenman from Claremont McKenna College \n\n\n\nTitle: Fair Votes? The Mathematics of Elections and Redistricting\n\n\nAbstract: How do we know if an election is fair? In this interactive session\, we’ll explore how math helps us answer that question. Students will experiment with drawing voting districts to see how drawing different district boundaries can change outcomes. They will also learn about alternative voting systems\, such as ranked choice voting and approval voting\, and how these might yield more representative outcomes than traditional “first-past-the-post” elections. Along the way\, we’ll encounter ideas like Condorcet winners\, and see how Statistics can help us learn about voting patterns from limited data. Join us to discover how geometry\, algorithms\, and probability shape modern elections.
