My FaceBook friend Elijah is taking his algorithm which he hopes can be used to solve the Twin Prime conjecture.  |

Just Google MathFest. It's sponsored by the MAA.
As for events in NYC. I don't think there are any in what remains of July.
Google something would probably be the best find to find out if there is anything upcoming. |

I think Russia is the only team to get 6 gold medals.
However, IMO is scored on collective scores (as opposed to the real Olympics which are measured by gold medals first).
Therefore, China wins this year with 5 gold and 1 silver. (Last year it was Russia, I was hoping for Russia to win again this year).
Congratulations to China! |
