Recreational Math Workshop The workshop is intended for teachers of Grades 112. Participants will work in smallgroups to prepare recreational math Units suitable to their grade level. http://www.millersv.edu/~kkittapp/workshop.html
Extractions: In the Summer, I offer a hands-on workshop on Recreational Mathematics for the Classroom (EDW 526). The workshop is intended for teachers of Grades 1-12. Participants will work in small groups to prepare Recreational Math Units suitable to their grade level. They would then present the units to the class of workshop participants. Participants will be given necessary guidance to prepare the Units. Each participant will also make one individual presentation on a recreational math topic of his/her choice. Topics are drawn from arithmetic, geometry, statistics, etc. They include mathematical magic tricks (with numbers, geometrical figures, ropes, etc), construction of geometrical figures, mathematical games and so on.

RE: [Tutor] A recreational math problem for ... [Danny Yoo] > I've been glancing at Donald Knuth's neat "Selected Papers on Computer > Science" and ran across an interesting problem that he presents. It It's an excellent problem, although I wish he would have left square roots out of it (floating-point arithmetic complicates the problem to no good end). There's a large and difficult literature on the "subset sum" problem, of which this is an instance. That doesn't mean people should be scared away, it means an exact solution is *so* hard ("NP-hard" in the jargon) that *nobody* knows how to do it efficiently. So any stupid-ass <wink> trick you can dream up is fair game. A "stupid-ass trick" is known as a "heuristic" in the jargon, BTW, and finding good heuristics is a fascinating game. After playing with this for a few years <wink>, you might want to check out Bartosz Przydatek's 1998 subset-sum heuristic, available in a paper here:

Math Digest The line between recreational math and serious math is a blurry one. Gardnersees recreational math as potentially educational. http://www.ams.org/new-in-math/mathdigest/199811-rec-math.html
Extractions: in the Popular Press "A Quarter Century of Recreational Mathematics," by Martin Gardner. Scientific American , August 1998. The line between recreational math and serious math is a blurry one. Math is considered recreational if it has a playful aspect that can be understood and appreciated by nonmathematicians. At times, these types of problems generate simple and elegant solutions, but they can also lead to mind-bending paradoxes, bewildering magic tricks, and topological curiousities such as Mobius bands and Klein bottles. It is in this world that Martin Gardner lives. From 1956 to 1981, he wrote Scientific American's column "Mathematical Games." He took no math courses in college, but as a journalist who loves math, he has been able to coax interesting problems out of professional mathematicians. Early on he worked with Solomon Golomb, who studied polyominoes, shapes formed by joining identical squares along their edges (the domino being a simple example). In 1977, MIT's Ronald Rivest allowed Gardner to be the first to reveal the "public-key" cipher system that Rivest invented. At times, seemingly purely recreational problems have turned serious. Magic squares, arrangements of numbers that add up to the same number in every row, column, or diagonal, have always been a popular part of recreational math. Extending this idea, retired railroad clerk Clifford Adams devised a magic hexagon. After receiving it in the mail, Gardner passed it on to mathematician Charles Trigg, who proved that Adams' elegant pattern was the only possible magic hexagon of any size.

I used to be very interested in finding large grids with this property - to this end I wrote some very complex programs to search for smaller grids and then "stitch them together" into larger grids. In the examples below, I have one 8 by 8 grid with 42 points on it (out of a total of 64), and one complete 6 by 4 grid with all 24 points - these were my master creations. I also found a complete grid which was 3 by 81, and I could have extended it even further, but the values were numbers hundreds of digits long. Another recreational math interest of mine has been square-packing. Here are a few examples I did:

Extractions: August 20, 2001While many interesting books devoted to the subject of recreational mathematics have been authored over the years, relatively few pieces of computer software on the topic have been released. This gaping void has now been filled by Wolfram Research's package The Mathematical Explorer The Mathematical Explorer is a stand-alone custom Mathematica product designed for anyone who has ever delighted in exploring the unexpected pleasures of mathematics. As readers of Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games" columns are aware, one of the joys of recreational math is that no degree in higher math is necessary; a deep appreciation for the subject can be obtained with just a little basic algebra and a sense of fun. The Mathematical Explorer represents a compilation of topics from the books and articles of Stan Wagon, noted mathematician, author, and proponent of the Mathematica technical computing system. More than just an electronic textbook, The Mathematical Explorer is part guide, part calculator, part museum, and part textbook. It combines text, graphics, and formulas in an easy-to-use
