That’s a wrap on #MAAthFest 2025! 🎉 Thank you for making this week in Sacramento inspiring. Safe travels, we’ll see you in Boston for MAA MathFest 2026!
My time at #MAAthFest closes with the Martin Gardner lecture by Persi Diaconis, whom I first saw (gulp) 35+ years ago giving the Brauer Lecture at UNC-CH, soon after his shuffling discovery.
Wish you could hear Persi Diaconis’ Martin Gardner Lecture at #MAAthFest? Persi begins the talk noting its in his joint paper with Ron Graham. Read it at: mathweb.ucsd.edu/~ronspubs/19...
Didn’t make #MAAthFest? Here is Persi Diaconis homework for one and all. Find a Martin Gardner book. In each, he has a chapter on math magic. Find a trick you like, practice, and perform it! If you were in Persi’s class on math magic, this would be your first assignment and you’d perform for class.
At #MAAthFest, Skip Garibaldi demonstrates how Calc 1 (and Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) help give insight on when to play the scratch-off lottery tickets. When? Dust off your Calc and give this @joinmaa.bsky.social College Math Journal article a read! www.garibaldibros.com/linked-files...

Celebrating the 2025 Euler Book Prize winner: @ismarvolic.bsky.social's Making Democracy Count. So much talk at #MAAthFest re gerrymandering, ranked choice voting & where we go from here. Thanks to @joinmaa.bsky.social. @princetonupress.bsky.social is honored to be a part of it. #ItAllStartsWithMath
Here’s a #RECAP from DAY 3 of #MAAthFest!
From powerhouse paper sessions to panels, meet & greets, and even a movie screening, there’s still so much to explore TODAY. Let’s close out MAA MathFest on a strong note!
Tara Holm in her Leitzel Lecture at #MAAthFest shows this wonderful clip from Ferris Bueller's Day Off noting this is NOT what we are looking for regarding good questions in classroom teaching. Take a look. youtu.be/uhiCFdWeQfA?...

Tara Holm in Leitzel Lecture at #MAAthFest extends growth mindset to our teaching and mentoring. Such skills come through practice and hard work. It is t just innate talent.
Tara Holm in Leitzel Lecture at #MAAthFest shares the quote,
"I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned."

This hour of the morning at #MAAthFest has been brought to you by the math topic: tiling. As Terry Tao moves into higher dimensional tiling, here are my 2D ones.
At #MAAthFest, Terry Tao notes if something is known to be provable. Then, you put an army of monkees at typewriters and have them bang out words. In finite time, assuming randomness of the typed keys, you get a proof. Inefficient but a proof technique. Proof by (monkey) exhaustion?
Terry Tao talks tiling in #MAAthFest day 2. He begins with a single Pegasus by Escher and cat/dog tiling by Nicolas.
Excitement in the works on Friday afternoon, just a few blocks away from #MAAthfest. CA Gov Newsom is hosting Texas Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, and others. The "media-only" event is scheduled to start at 2PM.

At #MAAthFest, Beth Malmskog discusses squaring the quilting circle and shows Gwen Fisher’s Quarternion quilt. Read more at: old.nationalcurvebank.org/quilt/quilt....
Beth Malmskog, “I’m a mathematical opportunist. I like to get my hands on any math that interests me.” Something I’ll remember from @joinmaa.bsky.social #MAAthFest

I think if we use the #MAAthFest hashtag, our reminders to folks like @joinmaa.bsky.social to use alt text with their images to ensure their posts are accessible to everyone will show up in the Mathfest app.
