2013 BULLITT LECTURE
Breaking Driver's License Codes
Joseph A. Gallian
University of Minnesota Duluth
Thursday, March 21st, 2013
6:30pm -7:30pm,
Middleton Auditorium
Strickler 101
University of Louisville
Abstract:
Many states use complicated algorithms or formulas to assign driver's license
numbers but keep the method confidential. Just for the fun of it, I attempted
to figure out how the states code their license numbers. In this talk I will
discuss how I was able to break the code for Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri.
The talk illustrates an important problem-solving technique used by scientists
but is not emphasized in mathematics classes. It also teaches the lesson
that sometimes things done just for the sake of curiosity can have applications.
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
