SUMMARY:Excursions into the Mathematical Universe: The Role of Dice in World Domination – A Case Study of Risk: The Board Game
DESCRIPTION:A series of popular science lectures titled “Excursions into the Mathematical Universe.” The lectures are primarily intended for students of secondary schools in the Primorska region\, but they are also open to the general public. Researchers and university lecturers will present ancient and modern mathematical concepts and their applicability in various fields of science\, natural sciences\, and social sciences in an accessible way. \n\nThe Role of Dice in World Domination – A Case Study of Risk: The Board Game \nBoard games have been an integral part of human history across cultures and societies\, and the theory and strategies of traditional games such as Chess and Go have long been studied and analyzed. In this talk\, we explore the mathematical mechanics behind a much more recent—though a classic by modern standards—board game: Risk. We will show how game states can be represented and how transitions between these states can be described with the help of probability theory\, more specifically\, Markov chains. \nAbout the lecturer: Balázs Dávid received his PhD in computer science in 2018 at the University of Szeged\, Hungary. His research areas include combinatorial optimization\, mathematical programming\, and algorithm development\, particularly in public transport and logistics. His main research interest is the modeling and optimization of problems motivated by real-life industrial applications. He is currently an assistant professor at InnoRenew CoE\, UP IAM\, and UP FAMNIT. \n(The lecture will be held in English.) \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nEvent materials are available at this link.\nA recording of the event is available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:
