Summary: <a href="http://www.theotherhalf.acmescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/TOHcover1.png"></a><br> In Racism and Segregation, Anna and Annie call on two people whose online contributions have helped paint a picture of racism and segregation in this country.<br> Dustin Cable’s work on the <a href="http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/" target="_blank">Racial Dot Map</a> paints this picture in a nearly literal way; see what we mean <a href="http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/" target="_blank">here</a>. Also, check out his <a href="http://www.coopercenter.org/demographics/Racial-Dot-Map" target="_blank">methodology</a> and <a href="https://github.com/unorthodox123/RacialDotMap" target="_blank">code</a>, and see one source of his inspiration–the work of Brandon Martin-Anderson and Peter Richardson–<a href="http://bmander.com/dotmap/index.html#4.00/40.00/-100.00" target="_blank">here</a>.<br> Nicky Case and collaborator Vi Hart created a playable blog post called <a href="http://ncase.me/polygons/" target="_blank">Parable of the Polygons</a> earlier this year. This interactive site demonstrates the Nobel Prize-winning <a href="http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~aldous/157/Papers/Schelling_Seg_Models.pdf" target="_blank">work</a> of Thomas Schelling–work that concludes that small individual bias may be responsible for the neighborhood segregation we see so clearly in the Racial Dot Map.<br> Want to understand how math can help us better understand bias, racism, and segregation in this country?
