Math, the makeover

Math, the makeover

Mathematician Glen Whitney will demonstrate how fun math can be in the nation’s first-ever interactive, hands-on math museum:

The new museum, aptly named the Museum of Mathematics, is intended to go beyond what is learned in school by applying math to everyday situations, thereby showing the integral part it plays in almost everything we do.

A museum with math and lasers: what could be better! Whitney is also part of what’s called the Nifty Fifty Speaker program, which is also quite remarkable. Math, getting a makeover.
