Richard is one of the co-authors of the Art of Problem Solving classic textbooks, author of Art of Problem Solving's Introduction to Algebra, Introduction to Geometry, and Precalculus textbooks, co-author of Art of Problem Solving's Intermediate Algebra and Prealgebra, one of the co-creators of the Mandelbrot Competition, and a past Director of the USA Mathematical Talent Search. He was a participant in National MATHCOUNTS, a three-time participant in the Math Olympiad Summer Program, and a USA Mathematical Olympiad winner (1989). He received the World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions Paul Erdös Award in 2014. He graduated from Princeton University in 1993, and worked as a bond trader for D.E.

Website: artofproblemsolving.com/company Seminar Title: Prepare to Change the World Description: This one has the big pictures and the verbs, where he talks about the capacities they should try to develop and the strategies they should use to hone their skills. Mr. Ben Orlin
Ben Orlin loves math and can't draw. He is the author of the books Math with Bad Drawings, Change is the Only Constant, and the forthcoming Math Games with Bad Drawings. He has taught ages from 11 to 18, and has been ages from 0 to 34, not all with equal success. You can find his cartoons on Facebook, Twitter, and in the margins of books he's reading. Website: mathwithbaddrawings.com Seminar Title: This Is Not the Title of This Talk Description: This sentence is false. No, wait, that's wrong. The sentence was true. Which means that it was false. Which... wait, what? We will (1) spin in confused circles like this, (2) play a brilliant little pencil-and-paper game called Prophecies, and finally (3) recreate a pivotal moment in human history. Bad drawings included; title of talk sold separately. |
