Mu Alpha Theta Lecture

A University of Richmond professor, Chip Hoke, spoke at a seminar on Wednesday, January 14 in the MLWGS Auditorium. The topic of the seminar was probability and the election.

"I liked how [Mr. Hoke] showed how a red state with few electoral votes had no influence in the election even if [that state] voted Democrat," said Dylan Fauss (’12), a student who attended the seminar.

The topic of the lecture was based off of the recent movie, Swing Vote, that explained the probability of one vote changing the election. The event was sponsored by the Mu Alpha Theta Math Honor Society.
