Data Scientist Suzan Reagan and Census Specialist Gillian Joyce will discuss the importance of the Census to each person living in the United States. They will also engage us in analyzing Census data to find trends with online data tools.
Have you ever wondered how math could be used to decipher coded messages? Dr. Andrea Duhon, an assistant professor at Marshall University, will explain the vital connection between math and cryptography (the art of writing or solving codes). During this café, we will learn some principles of number theory in basic encryption and decoding and how principles of cryptography can be applied to life.
Have high school students you know ever wondered about what solar systems around other stars are like? How astronomers find out what they are made of and why are they different from ours? If they have wondered, they’re not alone! For years scientists have been trying to answer these kinds of questions. To provide […]
