Join us this week for a talk by Anna Kazanova on “The Math Behind Sudoku” (abstract below) on Wed, 4/3, in LGRT 1634 from 5:30-6:30. As always, we’ll have free pizza and soda.
Abstract: To solve Sudoku, one needs to use a combination of logic and trial-and-error, but there is more math involved behind the scene. There are lots of different possible valid Sudoku grids, and by lots I mean 6,670,903,752,021,072,936,960. We will talk about how to come up with this number. We will also learn how to construct a Sudoku that has a unique solution. If time permits, we will describe some variations of Sudoku.
