Math and magic [videorecording] / by Benjamin, Arthur,lecturer.(CARDINAL)362888; Rhoades, Zachary,producer.; Bernett, Rich,editor of moving image work.; Teaching Company,production company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Course guidebook Includes bibliographical references (pages 124-125).Producer, Zachary H. Rhoades ; academic content supervisor, Jay Tate ; editor, Rich Bernett.Lecturer, Arthur T. Benjamin, Professor of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College.In Math and Magic, Professor Benjamin introduces you to magic, using tools like playing cards, numbers, and geometric figures. For each trick, he first runs through a demonstration. Then, he pulls back the curtain to show how the trick is done, explaining in detail the mathematical ideas underpinning the illusion.Nothing can amaze quite like an expertly-executed magic trick. Ideally, only the magician knows how truly simple the deception is. After watching Math and Magic, you will know that this trick and its many variants rely on a remarkable property of patterned sequences called Gilbreath's principle--named after an amateur magician who was also a mathematician. Magic is full of such wonders, as you discover in these 12 illuminating half-hour lessons presented by one of The Great Course's most popular lecturers: award-winning Professor of Mathematics Arthur T. Benjamin of Harvey Mudd College, who is himself a professional magician.Renowned in TED Talks, The Colbert Report, and other popular media as a "mathemagician," Professor Benjamin teaches you the techniques and secrets behind dozens of great math-based tricks. Even if you are a numerical novice, you will look like a prodigy after mastering these math-inspired showpieces, which require no skills beyond basic algebra--and a bit of showmanshipDVD.
