The Sixth Annual Preskenis Dinner Meeting was held on Thursday, May 8, 2008. Dr. Lisa Hansen, Western New England University, gave a presentation titled "Eine Kleine Mathemusik".

Abstract: There are a wide variety of connections between mathematics and music, ranging from simple and obvious to quite abstract. In this talk, we will explore a variety of these connections as varied as probability, permutations, group theory and graph theory. We will focus on the art of change bell ringing and musical dice games such as Mozart’s Musikalisches Würfelspiel. The talk will feature both live and recorded music as well as many opportunities for audience participation.
