Episode Synopsis

Candice Sands and Gaitrie Sackichand ask the question "In how many ways can you place two chess pieces on a chessboard so that they don't attack one another?". They investigate the king, rook, bishop, queen, and nightrider. Part of the interview is a discussion of teamwork in research. This research was conducted during Fall 2014 in Professor Hanusa's Combinatorics class at Queens College of the City University of New York.
