First we thank all of our readers for everything. You all are what make the blog a success. We also thank all of the folks at the AMS who help with everything. Thanks also to Dr. Frank Morgan and the blog steering committee for giving such great advice and guidance.<\/p>\n<p>I did a search on Google for Thanksgiving and mathematics. I found a video of <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.matthewweathers.com\" target=\"_blank\">Matthew Weathers<\/a> lecturing around Thanksgiving last year. Matthew is an adjunct at <a href=\"http:\/\/academics1.biola.edu\/math\/faculty\/\" target=\"_blank\">Biola Univesity<\/a> in La Mirada, CA. The video is quite humorous (although, not too mathematical in nature). Check it out below.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ams.org\/phdplus\/2012\/11\/22\/mathsgiving\/\" target=\"_blank\">PhD + Epsilon blog article\u00a0<em>Mathsgiving<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Symbols of Thanksgiving in Math Class\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lp90ejncVdM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Thanksgiving!
