Department Hosts Math Event
Mathematical Sciences will host a Celebration of Mind event Saturday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Verizon Ballroom in the Arkansas Union.
The Celebration of Mind is a worldwide tribute to Martin Gardner, who excited generations in mathematics and magic, through puzzles, games and ideas. It was mathematics pursued not for importance or power, but simply for beauty and fun. His long-running column in Scientific American broke stories on advances from the highest reaches of mathematics.
This event will engage and challenge students in the spirit of Martin Gardner.
Students who participate at mathematic-themed booths can win prizes including math puzzles, gifts from local businesses and University of Arkansas backpacks and athletic items.
Area high school juniors and seniors, their parents/guardians, and mathematics teachers are encouraged to attend. The event is free and open to the public.
