Dear TIME 2000 Students, Next month’s talk at the Museum of Mathematics should be of interest to students who have taken or will take M245 (Mathematical Models), that is, ALL of you! Learn applications of modeling and get ideas for M245 projects and future lesson plans. Read below for details for free registration for this remote session. Sincerely, Mrs. Weinman From: National Museum of Mathematics <functions(a)momath.org> Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2020 10:44 PM To: Naomi Weinman <Naomi.Weinman(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: "What is the point of mathematics?" Find out for FREE at "Math Encounters" on October 7 Dear MoMath friends, Don't miss the October Math Encounters! Join MoMath for "What's the Point: Why Math Really Matters" with Nira Chamberlain on Wednesday, October 7, at 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm ET (New York). All around the world, children and even some adults ask the question: "What is the point of mathematics?" The field of mathematical modeling not only helps answer this question, it can even help quench the human thirst for knowledge. Join Dr. Nira Chamberlain, Chartered Mathematician, Chartered Scientist, and President of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (United Kingdom) as he shares applications of mathematical modeling, from serious to fun. From the edge of our solar system to battling an artificial intelligence takeover, we will see the point of mathematics after all. Registration is free.

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 From: National Museum of Mathematics <functions(a)momath.org> Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2020 7:47 PM To: Naomi Weinman <Naomi.Weinman(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: Free this week! Limited free spots available for four online events 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 free at p2p.momath.org<https://momath.org/wp-json/civicrm/v3/url?u=6394&qid=34658380>. 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 free at ai.momath.org<https://momath.org/wp-json/civicrm/v3/url?u=6398&qid=34658380>. 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.

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.
