Dan Drake 🦆The Museum of Mathematics in NYC is doing...an online course on crochet and math!!??? <a href="https://momath.org/onlinecrochet/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://momath.org/onlinecrochet/</a>The two available sessions are full already, so I do hope they run this again, or that I can get access to recordings later.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/momath" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#momath</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#crochet</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#math</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/fiberart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fiberart</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mathart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#mathart</a>

Edward FaulknerI could hardly get my kid to leave <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/momath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#momath</a>. Genuinely great museum that treats math the way I wish all schools treated it.

SamuIn February I gave a popular talk in the “Math encounters” series at MoMath, New York. My topic was the mathematics of X-ray tomography.

MarkBack home after a short vacation in New York with the wife. Took in a show featuring Samuel L. Jackson, visited <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MoMath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MoMath</a> (the museum of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathematics</a>), had some proper NYC bagels and pizza, and played one of the chess hustlers in Washington Square Park (and actually held my own there for a bit before eventually getting checkmated). Overall, an enjoyable few days in one of the world's great cities.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/newyork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newyork</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nyc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theater</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/museums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#museums</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chess</a>

Mark L.Back home after a short vacation with my wife during which I spent an enjoyable afternoon at <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MoMath" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MoMath</a>, the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/museum" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#museum</a> of mathematics in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NYC</a>. The exhibits were all hands-on and geared toward sparking curiosity among middle- and high-schoolers, which is understandable; nonetheless, I would have liked to see at least a few exhibits aimed more squarely at curious adults. I did appreciate, though, that the "explainers" for most exhibits had a "more info" option that went into further mathematical detail

Katie StecklesIn a couple of days' time I'll be chatting to Tim Chartier at this <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MoMath" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MoMath</a> event, which is a book club for teens: <a href="http://momath.org/home/tween-primes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">http://momath.org/home/tween-primes</a> It'll be online at 5pm ET/10pm GMT this Thursday 17th Nov, and I'll be talking about my book, The Math of a Milkshake.
