Dear TIME 2000 Students,
The Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) hosts meaningful math events and talks on a regular basis. Before the pandemic, I enjoyed attending the events at MoMath in
Manhattan. These events are now livestreamed so they can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home. The registration fees have been waived for the remainder of this week and registration is FREE for the events listed below. Be sure to read the full descriptions
on the MoMath.org Events page and select the $0.00 fee when registering.
Do let me know if you see a great presentation if you attend these optional events.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Weinman

Dear MoMath friends,
MoMath is pleased to offer FREE registration for all remaining seats at the following events this coming week.
Pythagoras to Present Day: Math's Greatest Hits
Monday, September 14 at 7:00 pm ET (New York)
Join MoMath's 2020-2021 Distinguished Visiting Professor for the Public Dissemination of Mathematics Alex Kontorovich for the first session of an eight-week mini-course studying the twists and turns of mathematical ideas throughout history, including a fresh
look at the K to 12 curriculum and beyond. Learn more and register for the first session on September 14 for

I AM A.I.: Explaining Artificial Intelligence
Wednesday, September 16 at 6:00 pm ET (New York)
Artificial Intelligence is the most exciting technology of our time. But how exactly does it work? In which areas is it used? And what are its limitations? In this special interactive presentation for MoMath, mathematician Andreas Matt, director of IMAGINARY,
will introduce I AM A.I. using several interactive apps, providing insights into some of the core concepts of AI. Participants are invited to "play and think along," experimenting with a neural network that recognizes handwriting and playing a treasure hunt
game to illustrate how "gradient descent" works. Join us to learn about the magic — and the mathematics — behind it all! Learn more and register for

Meet a Mathematician: Donald Richards
Thursday, September 17 at 4:00 pm ET (New York)
Did you ever wonder what a mathematician does all day? Or what made someone decide to become a mathematician? Or even, what a mathematician does for fun? You may be surprised by some of the answers! Join host Alex Kontorovich as we bring diverse and talented
guests to the MoMath stage to share their experiences, their stories, and their love of mathematics. In September, Alex welcomes Distinguished Professor of Statistics at Penn State University Donald Richards, a statistician whose research intersects with
harmonic analysis, representation theory, astrophysics, and finance, among other disciplines. Learn more and register for

Egyptian Mystery
Thursday, September 17 at 5:45 pm ET (New York)
The ancient Egyptians had a somewhat unusual way of handling fractions and created tables of numbers to help them with their calculations. Join Joshua Zucker to decipher an ancient tablet and understand what the Egyptians built, then explore some of the mysteries
— unsolved to this day! — of whether the patterns there can be continued forever. Learn more and register for
free at

Space is limited! All remaining seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
