SUMMARY:CS Colloquium: Jason Rosenhouse
DESCRIPTION:"The Abuse of Math and CS in the Service of Anti-Science Agenda
 s"\nMathematics and Computer Science are powerful disciplines with myriad 
 practical applications\, but their central concepts can be confusing for l
 ay people to understand. This makes it possible for ideologues to abuse th
 ose concepts in the service of anti-science agendas. We will consider seve
 ral examples of the importance of mathematical and computational literacy 
 in considering a variety of scientific questions. We will pay particular a
 ttention to the abuse of math and CS in the literature of creationism and 
 intelligent design.\nSpeaker\nJason Rosenhouse is a professor of mathemati
 cs at James Madison University. He is the author or editor of nine books o
 n subjects such as recreational mathematics and evolution and creationism.
  From 2020-2025\, he was the editor of Mathematics Magazine\, published by
  the Mathematical Association of America. When not doing math\, he enjoys 
 chess\, cooking and reading locked-room mysteries.
