Mathematical Problem Solving

Dear Upstate New York Math Team,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! That you enjoyed spending peaceful time around family and friends, and feel recharged to return to school and work after the weekend.

But before returning to school and work, come by our next talk, which is this Sunday morning!

Please join us tomorrow (Sunday) morning for a math talk.

Title: Introduction to Induction

Speaker: Professor Hiram Golze (UTAH ARML team coach)

Abstract: Mathematical Induction is a proof technique that is intuitive yet mechanical. It offers conceptual and practical challenges, and we’ll introduce this technique with some straightforward and some surprising examples. Matt Babbitt will give more induction examples on December 3rd.

Date: Sunday, November 26, 2023

Time: 8:30am-10:00am
