What does it take to win a game? Professor Art Benjamin will uncover the mathematics behind games of chance and games of skill, showing how probability, strategy and optimal wagering can dramatically tilt the odds in your favor. Featuring startling paradoxes, surprising twists and games that you almost always win if you know the mathematical secret, this talk promises an eye-opening journey into the hidden logic of winning.

Benjamin, Smallwood Family Professor of Mathematics, will be signing copies of his new book How to Win: A Mathematical Approach to Games and Puzzles after the talk. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
