Seventeenth - 2019 Dr. Loepp is the 2010 winner of the
NES/MAA Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching, a
2012 winner of the Mathematical Association of America’s
Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award, and one of the 2013
inaugural
Fellows of the American Mathematical Society. She earned her Ph.D.
from the University of Texas at Austin, and her research area is
commutative algebra. Susan is a co-author with William Wootters,
Williams College, of
Protecting Information: From Classical Error Correction to Quantum
Cryptography; Dr. Wooters is one of the founders of the field of
quantum information theory. Dr. Loepp has supervised research for more than
fifty undergraduate students and she frequently serves as a faculty
advisor for the REU program at Williams College. Abstract: We first introduce, and play, a team game for three players involving hats. We discuss possible strategies for the game, and explore how to maximize the chances for winning. We then generalize the game and our strategies to more than three players. Perhaps surprisingly, the Hat Game has connections to error-correcting codes.
