Performance: Arthur Benjamin's 'Mathemagics!'

"He talks like a performer, acts like a magician, and multiplies faster than a calculator" ~Los Angeles Times In a fast-paced Mathemagics! performance, professional magician Dr. Arthur Benjamin demonstrated how to mentally add and multiply numbers faster than a calculator, how to figure out the day of the week of any date in history and achieve other feats of mind. For the last 30 years, Benjamin has presented his mixture of math and magic all over the world to thousands of groups. He has authored several books, including Secrets of Mental Math, and four DVD courses for The Great Courses. He has received national awards for his research, writing and teaching - including the national teaching award from the Mathematical Association of America - and was listed by Princeton Review as one America's Top 300 Professors. His newest book, published Fall 2015, is called The Magic of Math: Solving for X and Figuring out whY. Benjamin is the Smallwood Family Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, Calif. He has appeared on many television and radio programs, including The Today Show, CNN, and The Colbert Report, and has been profiled in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Scientific American, Discover, Omni, Esquire, People Magazine, and Reader's Digest. He has given three TED talks which collectively have been viewed over ten million times. In 1997, Benjamin applied his talents to the game of backgammon and won the American Backgammon Tour. In their "Best of America" issue, Reader's Digest recently called him "America's Best Math Whiz." The Nov. 12 event was open to the public free of charge and sponsored by the Dan E. Christie Mathematics Lecture Fund and the Center for Teaching and Learning.
