11/13 - Family Fridays at MoMath: "Let's Box!"












Family Fridays at MoMath: "Let's Box!"

REPOST from AMNY:

Don't worry, you won't need boxing gloves for this math event at the National Museum of Mathematics.  

Rather, discover the art of origami and how reflection symmetry play into Japanese art form of paper folding.

Find the math in your creation of boxes just in time to hold all those presents you'll be purchasing in the coming month.

10/10 - Family Fridays at MoMath - "Great Balls of Paper"! RSVP!

Family Fridays at MoMath presented by Time Warner Cable

Family Fridays is designed to bring families together to enjoy a diverse array of engaging mathematical activities, promoting interest and enthusiasm among kids and adults alike. The activities are designed so that all attendees, regardless of age, can participate on an equal footing.  Thanks to the generous support of Time Warner Cable, this program is free to attendees as part of Time Warner Cable’s Connect a Million Minds campaign, so that these enriching experiences will be accessible to as broad an audience as possible.
Next presentation:

October 10th, 2014 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
It’s time to get your hands dirty, digging into geometry.  Starting with simple paper units that can hook together, one can create a bewildering variety of different shapes and forms.  As we construct and explore, we will find that some things just don’t work — and we may miss something beautiful. How can we gain some control over our exploration?  The power of math, of course!   Join mathematician Edmund Harriss and play with paper models as we start to investigate some of this mathematics, ranging from properties that have been known for over 2,000 years to more recent discoveries about four-dimensional space.

RSVP HERE!

Have fun,
Terresa =)

7/2 - Math Encounters: “Making Mathematics Real,” with Laura Taalman - 3D Print Demo & Bring a Printed Model Home!



Math Encounters Math Encounters is MoMath’s popular public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, produced with support from the Simons Foundation. For further information, call the National Museum of Mathematics at (212) 542-0566 or e-mail mathencounters@momath.org.

Math Encounters: “Making Mathematics Real,” with Laura Taalman
Wednesday, July 2, 4:00 pm or 7:00 pm
 (Wait list only for 7:00 pm.)


Step into the world of 3D printing with mathematician Laura Taalman, as she demonstrates how modern technology can be used to turn abstract mathematical concepts into physical realities.  Whether being used to explore and investigate new math ideas or simply to create beauty, 3D printing breathes life into mathematics.  A 3D print demo will accompany this talk, and everyone will go home with a 3D printed mathematical model!  See mathencounters.org


Location: National Museum of Mathematics, 1st Floor
