Polynomia: Uncommon Excursions for the Seasoned Visitor
by Dan Kalman, American University
This talk is for long time friends of Polynomia, who have wandered its pathways many times. I will guide the audience to some out of the way destinations that are easily accessible from the most well traveled and familiar thoroughfares of the realm. Such destinations show that Polynomia still has much to surprise, delight, and intrigue even the most seasoned visitors. The itinerary includes Horner evaluation, Lill's method, the curly-root function, and Marden's Theorem.

Game Night, hosted by Pearson, follows the keynote speaker with board games, appetizers, and dessert. Pearson will also have a flat screen to play Wii and will be raffling it off at their booth on Saturday for those who attend the Friday night games. Festivities will start off with a few choice Rockin' Math Songs performed by Angie Conley of Cerritos College. Join the fun. It's free!
