The Hidden Mathematics in Video Games
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Rithm School
(see times)
Love math? Hate math, but love video games? Either way, this event is for you. Join Matt Lane, co-founder of Rithm school, as he talks about some of the ideas in his new book, Power Up: Uncovering the Hidden Mathematics in Video Games.
When you're playing games, mathematics probably isn't the first thing on your mind. But there's rich mathematical thinking in many of the most popular games games, even those that aren't explicitly billed as educational. In this talk, we'll play some games, learn about some others, and explore examples of mathematics in games that don't typically come to mind when thinking about education. Matt will also be available to sign copies of the book at the end of the night.
