"Magic in Mathematics"
by Esther Tesar, Educational Testing Service, Princeton


Abstract: The word "magic" appears in mathematics in many places. In this talk we will discuss several "magical" and fun mathematical problems. In particular, we will discuss magic squares and magic graphs. Using these "magical" problems we will explore how ideas in mathematics are changed and developed.
