Conversation 25:A Computational Conversation with the Brilliant Noah Healy

Noah is a self-described Recreational Mathematician

Our conversation started off discussing the restaurants and features of living in Charlottesville, Virginia. These restaurants included: Ace Biscuit & BBQ, Wayside Chicken and Moose’s By The Creek

Noah mentioned The Putnam Competition which he explained is essentially The Smartest Person on the Planet Exam

Noah is disrupting the Commodities Markets. Here is a primer on commodities trading (until Noah disrupts it).

I jumped on my limited knowledge of commodities markets by citing the movie Trading Places. Thankfully, Noah likes that movie and legitimizes the accuracy of how markets were described in that classic comedy.

Noah describes some games in explaining Game Theory.  Battle of the Sexes and The Stag Hunt

I made a poor reference to War Games and Tic-Tac-Toe. Another great 80’s movie.
