Mathemorphosis: Common knowledge

October 11, 2017

Lecturer: Gergő Pintér

What exactly makes people take part in a demonstration? What makes money valuable? What turns a smart student into a “nerd”? What makes a thriller really good? In his interactive lecture, mathematician Gergő Pintér familiarizes the audience with the concept of common knowledge, focusing on the question of what extra charge is provided by a piece of information that everyone is familiar with when those involved are also aware of the fact that everyone else is informed of it as well.

Venue: Gólya Community House and Cooperative Bar, (1083 Budapest, Bókay János utca 34.)
