Professor Ronald Graham, one of the world’s best known mathematicians, computer theorists, and technology visionaries, will explain the math behind magic in his talk, “Juggling Mathematics and Magic”. Graham, who calls himself a “mathematician” will explore the mystery of magic and the art of juggling and their surprising links to mathematical concepts. 
Graham is the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering in UCSD and the Chief Scientist at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal-(IT)2). He is also   a skilled magician and juggler, and the co-author of Magical Mathematics: The Mathematical Ideas that Animate Great Magic Tricks. Graham is the ex-president of the International Jugglers Association, and ex-president of the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
