M40: Math on the T in Splash Fall 2010 (Nov. 06, 2010)
You probably walk by subway route maps every day without even bothering to glance at them. Unbeknownst to you, maps like these form the basis for the rich mathematical field of graph theory. In this class, we will introduce graph theory and a few useful algorithms. There are no prerequisites, but it is strongly advised that participants be able to think logically. Additionally, it is recommended that you ride the T home from Splash - so, you know, you can do some "math on the T."


M41: Lies, Damned Lies, and This Class in Splash Fall 2010 (Nov. 06, 2010)
Mark Twain once quipped: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." Learn how to spot a damned lie by taking this class in basic statistics! There are no prerequisites, but it is strongly advised that participants have a strong grasp of mathematics. (Side effects of this class may include the urge to write angry letters to newspapers every time they misuse or misunderstand statistics.)
