Dirichlet's Box, the binary number system, and mathematical induction. Several effects will be taught that can be used by attendees in their own classrooms. Learn how to use a new tool, amazement, to demonstrate some of the elementary laws of mathematics while enjoying Allan's version of magic mixed in with mind reading, forecasting, and gaming.Allan taught mathematics and computer science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for 22 years before joining the faculty at the College of Southern Nevada in 2000 where he now teaches computer science. |
