| Title of Talk | Caucus Mathematics |
| Abstract | Welcome to Iowa. One of the best sources for cool, applied math problems comes from the Iowa Democratic Caucuses. Of course, every four years the Democratic Party fiddles with the rules. I will talk about ranked elections, viability, and apportionment. The last portion of the talk will discuss some of this year’s rule changes and how they affect the calculations. |
