“The Math of Elections: How Does Your Vote Count?“
Sacramento Science Distilled
Wednesday, October 26th, 2016
6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Old Ironsides
1901 10th St. Sacramento
21+ event, FREE TO ATTEND
Come to Sacramento’s second Science Distilled event! You’ll hear a short, idea-centered talk from a local expert in the sciences. After the talk, we’ll have a lively discussion that brings science into context for everyday life.
October’s topic- The Math of Elections. How does your vote count?
In this talk we will discuss real elections where the results seem, at best, counter-intuitive, and, at worst, wrong. You do not need to know any advanced mathematics to understand this talk, and yet our aim is for you to walk away understanding the complexities of modern elections, and why a simple election theory shook the foundations of political science, dismayed idealistic democrats, and earned the Nobel Prize in Economics. The 2016 race will be discussed tangentially, but to avoid fistfights we’ll focus on several other elections.
Our speaker will be Dr. Jay Cummings of CSUS.
