Recent trends in using representations in voting theory – committees and cyclic orders (Karl-Dieter Crisman, Gordon College)
One of the most important axioms in analyzing voting systems is that of "neutrality", which stipulates that the system should treat all candidates symmetrically. Even though this doesn't always directly apply (such as in primary systems or those with intentional incumbent protection), it is extremely important both in theory and practice.If the voting systems in […]
On Invariants for Surface-Links in Entropic Magmas via Marked Graph Diagrams (Seonmi Choi, Kyungpook Natl U, Korea)
M. Niebrzydowski and J. H. Przytycki defined a Kauffman bracket magma and constructed the invariant P of framed links in 3-space. The invariant is closely related to the Kauffman bracket polynomial. The normalized bracket polynomial is obtained from the Kauffman bracket polynomial by the multiplication of indeterminate and it is an ambient isotopy invariant for […]

Solving the Race in Backgammon (Prof. Arthur Benjamin)
Title: Solving the Race in Backgammon Speaker: Prof. Arthur Benjamin Smallwood Family Professor of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College Abstract: Backgammon is perhaps the oldest game that is still played today. It is a game that combines luck with skill, where two players take turns rolling dice and decide how to move their checkers […]
