As mentioned previously, Steven Rudich will be speaking at the next meeting of the student seminar on October 18. Title: Of dice and coins... This talk will explore the problem of simulating the roll of an n-sided die, by a bounded number of flips of a small set of biased coins. The talk is designed to be fun and easy to understand. It requires nothing beyond high school math. A natural (still open) question results.
