Dr. Arthur Benjamin of Harvey Mudd College has 2 new videos out that Magical equations fans might enjoy.
The first is a 78-minute lecture in Washington, DC, from the 2013 Martin Gardner Celebration of Mind. This first one includes performances and explanations of calendar calculation, squaring, determining whether a number is prime, multiplication of 2-digit numbers, and even some excellent performance tips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SwBohn7ELw The other is a 6-7 minute video from TED.com about Fibonacci numbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjSHVDfXHQ4 http://www.ted.com/talks/arthur_benjamin......ers.html Here's the online version of the presentation used by Dr. Benjamin in the Fibonacci video: http://prezi.com/-k-_06wlpw6q/fibonacci-......enjamin/ I have more related links for both videos on my blog: http://headinside.blogspot.com/2013/11/i......min.html http://headinside.blogspot.com/2013/11/f......min.html |

It seems the MAA has gone Arthur Benjamin crazy lately. They just put up 2 more videos of him!
The main one is a 12-minute video teaching how to square 2- and 3-digit numbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FoONg5Meyc The other is a short video of how Dr. Benjamin discussing how he discovered this technique on his own, even before learning algebra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJGkC8ppItc |
