SUMMARY:Games as Mathematics: SET and cap-sets
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jyothi Krishnan (IIT Gandhinagar)\n\nAbstract: \nIn th
 is talk we will play the game of SET and then\, using insights from the ga
 me\, formulate the maximal cap-set problem and prove it for some special c
 ases.\nShort Bio:Jyothi Krishnan grew up solving puzzles and reading Marti
 n Gardner’s books. Not realising that recreational mathematics provided 
 any scope for a career\, she pursued her other love of mechanics and colle
 cted a BTech from NIT Calicut\, an MS from IIT Madras and a PhD from UC Be
 rkeley. She has worked as a programmer\, a bridge engineer\, a research ma
 thematician and a school teacher. Having been introduced to the world of m
 odern board games during her PhD\, she realised that it was a way to make 
 fairly complicated mathematical reasoning accessible to a large number of 
 children so she created a job playing games with kids in an alternative sc
 hool in Bangalore. After running her game lab for 4 years she discovered l
 ike-minded people at CCL where she is thrilled to be making a living playi
 ng games and solving puzzles. At CCL she creates games and looks after mat
 h content.\n
