The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Collaboration with IAS will host the Second National Math Festival

The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in collaboration with IAS will host the Second National Math Festival in Washington, D.C. on April 22, 2017.

The National Math Festival will bring together some of the most fascinating mathematicians of our time to inspire and challenge participants to see math in new and exciting ways. Experiential programs including hands-on demos, performances, games, and more will appeal to a wide range of interests and will engage toddlers through lifelong learners. In addition to the festivities taking place in Washington, D.C., thousands more will be participating in related programs at museums and participating venues across the country as well as online.

“The Institute for Advanced Study is proud to be collaborating with MSRI again on the next National Math Festival in 2017,” said Robbert Dijkgraaf, Institute Director and Leon Levy Professor. “Mathematics stimulates and powers the world around us, and the Festival is an ideal way to encourage the public’s participation and engagement with mathematics while creating understanding of its impact and potential.”
