Math is the language, tool, and way of thinking that we all use—sometimes without even realizing it—to study quantity, structure, relationships between things, pattern, and change. Before Euler came along and invented all the notations we think of as mathematical symbols, math was mostly done with words and, occasionally, pictures. At the Exploratorium, we mostly do math with exhibits—and we’re always inventing new ones. Tonight, we’ll roll out some of our newest, showing you math isn’t all like that high school algebra class. In doing so, we’ll show you some of the simplicity, beauty, and elegance that make your mathematically inclined friends foam at the mouth and reveal some surprising ways that you can see mathematics everywhere.
