Reid Lecture 2026
Apr 14, 2026 6:00 PM | Organization: Math Department Annual event hosted by Mathematics Department open to local and campus communities, including high school and college students from other campuses and interested community members. The Reid Lecture was established in 2015 and has continued with support from Founding Library Dean Emerita Marion Reid and Founding Math Faculty Member K. Brooks Reid. Juggling Counts Mathematics is a language which can help us describe and explore patterns. One source of patterns that mathematicians have been exploring comes from juggling (the tossing of objects, usually balls or clubs). We will look at multiple ways to describe juggling patterns that allow us to find new juggling patterns, and to count how many possible patterns exist. We can compare answers to various problems to give a combinatorial proof of Worpitzky’s identity. We will also look at a few juggling-based problems that mathematics has not yet succeeded in answering. Steve Butler is an award-winning teacher who has given talks at numerous venues ranging from the AMS-MAA address at Mathfest 2021 to the Iowa State Fair and almost everything in between. Steve’s mathematics was heavily influenced by his mentors at UC San Diego, Fan Chung and Ron Graham. His mathematical research includes spectral graph theory, shuffling, juggling, origami, tiling, Apollonian circle packings, parking functions, and more. In 2015, he became the 512th mathematician to have an Erdos number of 1. Steve Butler has been at Iowa State University since 2011 where he is a Morrill Professor and the Barbara J Janson Professor of Mathematics. https://www.csusm.edu/math/news_events/the-reid-lecture-series.html
