Graph theory to understand human trafficking, meeting Bob Moses & linear programming food equity #interdisciplinaryconversations #JMM16

I'm speaking in 10 minutes - what does #biology need from #calculus? Room 2A #JMM16 #mathbioed

Don't leave! Going on now in room 2A: Interdisciplinary Conversations. What do other disciplines need and want? #JMM16

Vanishing points for my vanishing point. So long, Seattle! #JMM16 https://t.co/OwFlUjCIQg

"If you want to be happy for a lifetime, help others." Dr. William Hawkins, #NAM lifetime achievement award #JMM16

"The previous talk was on stuff they worked very hard on for 5 years, and this talk is on stuff I should have realized 5 years ago." #JMM16

Torus progress! #JMM16 https://t.co/PzvVc6huF6

Alex Eskin: put a candle in a mirrored room w all angles rational. There are only finitely many dark points. #JMM16

3D calc 3 - cool! RT @kayeomans: I took the wrong multivariable calculus class. #JMM16 https://t.co/gMve6VmUtb

Assessment of biocalculus in BIO SIGMAA #mathbioed session, Room 2A, now #JMM16

Linked Klein bottles by Cliff & Danny Stoll. #jmm16

Cliff Stoll is very particular about visitors to his booth. #JMM16 https://t.co/adYXYlK7Sd

Cliff Stoll! He remembered me from last year. #JMM16 https://t.co/vvX4l42hsM

"Some of you may have heard of a non-transitive game called Rock Paper Scissors..." #JMM16

Next speaker is Brendan Sullivan, who created a crossword puzzle for the conference. #JMM16 https://t.co/HmqigZcro5

Question from audience: "So are you holding back your most important results to maintain advantage in playing?" Catan is serious. :) #JMM16

Lots of rich mathematics to be explored in the game, due to board layout, robber piece, ports, game theory, etc. #JMM16

Combinatorics of board layout then informs strategy. #JMM16

If two boards are laid out identically, they are same. Also when probabilities of hitting resources are the same, despite layout. #JMM16

Combinatorial analysis in Settlers of Catan: when are two boards "the same"? What does that even mean? #JMM16

Next up is the mathematics in the Settlers of Catan. Standing room only, people sitting in aisles on the floor. #JMM16

"Just because the game itself is not fun, doesn't mean that the math behind it isn't fun." Wisdom from Jonathan Needleman. #JMM16

"And so you have these two horrible looking things, and you can relate them..." #ThingsMathematiciansSay #JMM16

Speaker's son got Chutes and Ladders for Christmas. His paper is on how to make the game go faster. Coincidence? :) #JMM16

I didn't know Chutes and Ladders (or a version of it) dates back to at least 13th century India. #JMM16

Next talk is on Chutes and Ladders (yes, the game). I'm pretty excited for this. #JMM16

I love when speakers, like Meng and Felsenstein, have a great sense of humor. #JMM16

Likelihoods for a multivariate O-U process on an evolutionary tree, Felsenstein #JMM16 now, room 607
