He shares what is known on the topic in an upcoming book, 'The Mathematics of Shuffling Cards' (American Mathematical Society), which he co-wrote with acclaimed mathematician Persi Diaconis. Jason Fulman, professor of mathematics at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, studies card shuffling using math. It can even reveal the best method for dealing cards. Math can answer the age-old question of how many times a deck of cards needs to be shuffled to ensure the cards are thoroughly mixed.
