Professor of Mathematics Jeff Clark attended the 2021 meeting (virtually) of the Southeastern Section of the Mathematical Association of America, where he presented on March 6 a talk on “How Do We Know There Are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 Different Positions for Rubik’s Cube?.”
He discussed the theory of decomposing large permutation groups into stabilizer chains, a fertile area for undergraduate research.
