Session C-4: Crazy Patterns: Why Does it Work This Way

Steven Condie, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy

Description

How many times have we seen seeming chaos turn into definite, easily recognized patterns? I will give many examples, some of which I can explain and others that I hope to find an explanation for. Hopefully, participants will have fun searching for meaning in mathematical situations as we explore and look for structure.
