Dr Itay Glazer: The Mathematics of Card Shuffling 🃏🔢
How many shuffles does it take to truly mix a deck of cards?
In this Massada Public Seminar, Dr Itay Glazer (Technion – Israel Institute of Technology) explores the mathematics behind shuffling, randomness, and what it means for a deck to be well mixed. The talk examines classical shuffling methods, their efficiency, and how these ideas connect to the broader theory of random walks used across science.
What to expect:
- 🔄 A mathematical look at randomness and what makes a deck “well mixed”
- 🃏 Comparisons of classical shuffling techniques and their efficiency
- 🧭 An introduction to random walks and their wider scientific applications
