Dear Math Friends,
Join us for our last Family Math Afternoon of the school year. We will meet at the Kingston Library on Saturday, May 17, 2-4pm.
Also, we also still have a few spots left in our Bard Math CAMP, and are accepting applications on a rolling basis. The Bard Math CAMP runs August 4 to 8 on the Bard College campus, and is aimed at middle school students in grades 5 to 8.
Sincerely,
Japheth

More Opportunities
For Young Programmers!
A student from the UCLA Math Circle (now a college student) has written an engaging book for middle school and high school programmers.
What’s more, he’ll be hosting a weekly Zoom-based book club to support students who decide to read the book as part of their summer adventure. Visit his website and sign up!
NEW FROM MIT PRESS: In The Computer Always Wins, Elliot Lichtman will teach you some of computer science’s most powerful concepts in a refreshingly accessible way: exploring them through word games, board games, and strategy games you already know. Learn recursion by playing tic-tac-toe, efficient search through puzzle games like Sudoku and Wordle, and machine learning by way of the playground classic rock-paper-scissors. Finish the book, and you’ll come away with not only a deeper understanding of these foundational programming techniques but also a new appreciation for the amazing feats that can be accomplished using simple, readable code. Available now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and everywhere else books are sold. Designed for advanced middle and high school readers. More info at www.thecomputeralwayswins.com.
