Benjamin makes numbers dance. In his day job, he's a professor of
mathematics at Harvey Mudd College; in his other day job, he's a
"Mathemagician," taking the stage to perform high-speed mental
calculations, memorisations and other astounding mathematic stunts. It's part
of his drive to teach math and mental agility in interesting ways, following in
the footsteps of such heroes as Martin Gardner.
TEDxOxford is organised by University of Oxford students, aiming to
bring together the young minds of tomorrow's world with the movers and shakers
of today. TEDxOxford is kindly sponsored by Neptune Investment Management -

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local,
self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like
experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark
deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized
events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED
Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx
events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
