Maths Week 2014
The NCE-MSTL has organised The Mathematical Magic show with Dr Fernando Blasco
In the University of Limerick concert hall on Monday October 13th at 10.15am
Secondary Schools Students (transition year and 5th year) are invited to attend this talk with Dr. Fernando Blasco.
A mathematician at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Fernando Blasco is one of Spain's best known mathematics promoters. He collaborates with TV shows and radio programs in Spain and performs in Civic Centres, Science Museums, University Classrooms and other stages. In his presentations he uses magic to introduce mathematical topics. Although magic tricks usually remain a secret, the patterns in some of them and the underlying ideas are even more interesting than the tricks themselves. Dr. Fernando Blasco uses magic to introduce the public to topics such as prime numbers, knot theory, sudoku, topology, number systems, mind games, Rubik’s cube, calendars or quick calculations.
