DESCRIPTION:\nImagine five friends in a quilting circle decide to make five quilts in a “round robin” sort of way.  Is it possible to find a way to pass quilts among five people so that each person works on each quilt\, and no person passes to the same person twice?  The pursuit of an answer leads to “Latin squares” — mathematical objects with a thousand-year history and modern applications.\n\nThe journey doesn’t stop there\, though\; this talk will describe how one simple problem connects quilting\, taste testing\, combinatorics\, group theory\, graph theory\, number theory\, music\, Tom and Jerry\, and the power/limits of modern computing. We may be starting with just a simple quilt\, but we’ll end up with some mathematical mysteries that remain unsolved to this day.\n\nThis lecture coincides with the museum exhibition <a href="https://fac.coloradocollege.edu/exhibits/alisa-banks-unerased/">Alisa Banks: Unerased</a>\, on view from February 7 – September 6\, 2025\n\nThemed Cocktail: Square Root Spritz\nLecturer: Beth Malmskog\, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science\, Colorado College\nTickets: $24 ($18 for FAC Members)\, includes your first drink.
