A Taste of Math

What can math tell us about distinguishing a cheap wine from an expensive one? Can we use statistics to learn a friend’s food preferences, or how preferences change over time?

Jeff Potter, author of Cooking for Geeks, and MIT behavioral economist Coco Krumme will explore statistics, probability theory, models and heuristics – all with wine, cheese and chocolate. Attendees will partake in the sampling as they are guided through a unique and tasty adventure featuring fine wine, good cheese and of course, chocolate, while examining the science behind food. Math has never been so delicious!
