Here's an awesome activity for anybody who happens to be in New York City. Next week, on December 15th, The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) will open at a location near the Flatiron Building. Opening weekend festivities (and the museum, itself) look really cool.

    The Museum of Mathmatics?  Two “borings” make an “interesting?”

      Come on, dude.  Imagine the oldest continuously operating subtrahend in the world.

      You’ll change your tune when you visit the Guggenmath.

    I’m glad we’ll have a climate-controlled environment for those theorems that are getting worn out and stuff.

    Opening on Dec 15. Not to be confused with Oct 17.

    (Decimal 15 = Octal 17. Maths jokes…)

       Actually, the link says they are opening on  (drumroll): 12/12/12 !!!

    12/15 is the public opening. 12/12 is the opening ceremony, which is a) sold out and b) expensive (basically a fundraiser).

    I’ve been in the museum over the past week, working on an exhibit. It has been interesting watching all the pieces come together. MoMath is going to have a bunch of great stuff- lots of very interactive exhibits, aimed at a wide age range.
