Join us to explore geometry under the “Manhattan metric,” where travel is restricted to a grid and four is the equivalent of pi. We will start with playful examples about a dog named Pumpkin Pi and his gridlocked companion Pumpkin Four, and end with an application to the 1854 cholera outbreak in London, a seminal event in the field of epidemiology.This is anin-personevent atMoMath on Fifth(225 Fifth Avenue, in Manhattan). By registering for the event, you agree to theProgram Policiesdetailed below.All students must be signed in and out by an adult chaperone. Students 16 and older with proof of ID may be granted an exception._____________Upcoming presentationFeaturing a special program“Can You Cross Every Bridge Exactly Once? A Journey Through the Seven Bridges of Königsberg”with MOST Fellow Elena WangSunday, June 86:30 pm to 8:30 pm(in person+drop-off)RegisterCombo Registration:June 1 and 8 for $15Unlimitedon June 8 will begin promptly at 6:30 pm with a special program brought to you by theMathematics Outreach Seminar and Training(MOST) program.“Can You Cross Every Bridge Exactly Once? A Journey Through the Seven Bridges of Königsberg” featuring MOST Fellow Elena WangMore than 250 years ago, people in the city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) asked a question about their seven bridges: Is it possible to cross every bridge in the townexactly oncewithout retracing any steps? No one could figure out how to do it. Join us to explore how this simple puzzle led to two brand new kinds of mathematics: graph theory and topology, which help us study connections and networks. Along the way, we’ll learn how to turn real-world problems into mathematical ones, discover the power of a well-posed question, and even prove why some puzzles haveno solution at all.Get ready to think like a mathematician and walk through history — without getting lost!This is anin-personevent atMoMath on Fifth(225 Fifth Avenue, in Manhattan).

The game involves using four given numbers and the basic operations of arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to make a target prime number at the center of the card, encouraging players to find multiple solutions when possible. This engaging game can be played solo or with multiple players, providing excellent practice in mental arithmetic and fostering an appreciation for the properties of prime numbers. The card design is particularly commendable, offering clear instructions and examples that enhance gameplay. The accompanying video is both fun and informative, brimming with great energy. PRIMES Card Game stands out not only for its simplicity but also for its ability to engage and entertain children and adults alike. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: While taking a course in multivariable calculus, Alex Rosenzweig became fascinated by the concepts of gradients and vector fields. Struck by the use of the same word — “gradient” — in art, he composed this watercolor painting to illustrate the mathematical meaning of gradients and vector fields in this innovative, three-dimensional series of self-portraits. The image charmed the judges mathematically and pedagogically, as well as artistically. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: In this remarkable exploration of communicating math concepts through the art of haiku, Anaya Willabus offers a new way to entice people to learn about complex mathematical topics. The inclusion of notorious unsolved problems, such as the Collatz conjecture, adds a captivating twist. The judges were particularly impressed by the inventiveness of this endeavor, recognizing its potential as a gateway to bridging the gap between mathematics and poetry and enhancing the public’s engagement with math. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: In this impressive collection of videotaped lectures about the math of neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, Adam Dhalla keeps it old school, standing in front of a whiteboard and using colored markers, but he modernizes the classic style by providing useful timestamps in the video description. The judges also admired his stage presence, his clear voice, and the production quality of the videos. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: The judges were bowled over by the energy and sense of humor in Griffin Hon’s entry, “Random Walks”! This video will appeal to kids of all ages, and it does a great job of conveying the excitement, importance, and universality of random walks. The subject of random walks pops up in many parts of mathematics and has applications in fields ranging from finance to physics, all of which were engagingly presented in Griffin’s video. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: In this elegantly brief poem, Thais Estrada-Nuñez starts from “One seed plus one seed is two seeds,” and soon we’re taking flight (and the layout of the poem itself looks like it’s taking flight on the page). The overall effect is stylish, with hints of subtlety and depth. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Wyeth Renwick’s poem is intriguingly ambiguous and open to interpretation: some of the judges read it as a love poem that winks at the reader with its use of mathematical concepts and language, while others saw it as a poetic animation of a human relationship, viewed as the graph of a function. Either way, it makes math and poetry both seem more accessible to students who might otherwise not be drawn to these subjects. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Julia Schanan’s entry for the Strogatz Prize was a free-verse poem titled “Math Person.” The judges were moved by the poem’s artistry and emotional power, its depth and raw honesty, its brilliant use of language, and its eye for the unexpected but telling detail. “Math Person” conveys – in ways both beautiful and haunting – the isolation Julia felt as one of the only girls in the American Math Competition 10th grade and, more profoundly, the intellectual isolation she still feels every day as someone who loves math deeply yet lacks a friend with whom to share it. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: The judges were very impressed with Apoorva’s joyful, elegantly written blog posts on a wide range of math topics, from the liar’s paradox and partitions to tessellations and fractals. Combining clear explanations with an appealing layout and well-chosen graphics, Gems in STEM is itself a gem. The judging panel loved the wide range of Apoorva’s blog posts. They touch on history, etymology, and puzzles, and make connections to everything from art and architecture to science and nature. Apoorva’s uplifting message is that math is everywhere and approachable by anyone from any background. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Catherine’s video was inspired by her struggle to understand why the empty set is a subset of every set. As she wrote in her essay for this contest, “I’ve never been one to accept or memorize a mathematical concept unless it makes complete sense to me, so I decided to go beyond sheer numbers and create an analogy. I realized that the sets on my page could be related to my classes at school. As the elements of a mathematical set are numbers, the elements of a class are students. When some are absent, only a “subset” of the class exists. And when all are absent, a subset of the class still exists since the class period still technically occurs. This analogy wasn’t something I wanted to keep to myself, and so it became the basis of my entry to the Strogatz Prize competition!” AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Manjul Bhargava will demonstrate an interactive magic trick that exhibits how one can create surprising complexity from extreme simplicity. Viewers are encouraged to participate from home! AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Carolyn Figuereo is the retail manager of the National Museum of Mathematics. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: In the zine, each of Lockhart’s memorable adjectives—dreamy, poetic, subversive, and psychedelic—is illustrated and connected to math ideas, using symbols, history, color, and imagery. The judges were impressed by the passionate energy conveyed by the zine’s words and design. The overall effect achieves what Kyna intended: to embody “what those of us who love math want the world to understand. It isn’t about cold calculations at all— it’s a field full of creativity and beauty, and it is just as infused with humanity as any other.” AGE-RELATED CONTENT: “Limericks and poetry are not a typical way to convey information about math,” admits Sarah Thau, “but I think it makes it more palatable than learning functions by rote. Who doesn’t love a limerick?” So Sarah created a series of short rhyming poems to list some basic properties of linear, quadratic, trigonometric, polynomial, rational, and other types of functions encountered in algebra and precalculus, and illustrated the pages with examples. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Jonah Yoshida’s project is a pencil-and-paper infographic on graph theory. He says “I conceived of the idea when reading about how Arthur Cayley used trees to represent structures of hydrocarbons with n carbon atoms and 2n+2 hydrogen atoms. The entire structure imitates one of these hydrocarbons, ethane (n=2), and a unique application of graph theory is included inside each atom. I divided the page into two sections so that the hydrogens bonded to the left carbon contain puzzles and fun applications of graph theory, while the ones bonded to the right hydrogen focus more on direct applications, much like our brains’ left and right hemispheres.” For example, the Four Color Theorem (a fun application of graph theory to coloring maps and an longstanding research question) appears on the left, while the right side includes applications of graphs to computer science (neural networks and spanning trees) and electrical engineering (circuit diagrams). AGE-RELATED CONTENT: The judges appreciated the ingenious design concept of this graphic, which underscores the universality and interdisciplinary spirit of graph theory. The words and imagery combine history, math, chemistry, and psychology, and the questions in the small text boxes invite the reader to do some research of their own. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: To express the universality of math, Katarina Cheng translated it into another universal language: dance. “Just as dance exists as a part of many cultures around the globe to express abstract ideas and emotions through movement, mathematics defies cultural lines to express abstract ideas through structures and forms on the page,” she wrote in her project description. Her video “Dancing the Dihedral Group” sought, through dance, “to represent the visual symmetries, primarily those of a square,” and, through words, “how they translated into algebra, primarily the group D8 .” AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Hamza Alsamraee loves Instagram – and he also loves math. But when he noticed that very few math pages existed on Instagram, he sought to change that by starting @daily_math, a page dedicated to intriguing problems and ideas about algebra, geometry, calculus, number theory, and other parts of math. “With high-quality educational posts,” he says, “I hoped to build an Instagram community centered around a shared passion for math.” AGE-RELATED CONTENT: The judges were impressed with the creativity of Hamza’s entry, expressed through its skillful use of visuals, history, and puzzles, all presented in attractive ways. His explanations of mathematical concepts are clear and insightful, and he is very interactive with his followers, even inviting them to post. The judges also commend him on his growth as a creator and communicator. His Instagram page has evolved from a focus on tricky integrals in the early days to doing more accessible problems now, and the visual presentation has evolved in tandem. With his engaging design choices, which foster clear communication, he is making increasingly good use of the strengths of the Instagram medium.

The judges found the video very fresh, playful, and minimal (no words are spoken, and only a few are written). The level of the teaching is especially skillful (for example, note the appropriate pauses in the trisection argument after the rhetorical question “but why?”). At that point and elsewhere, Rin demonstrates great sensitivity to the audience. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Shirley’s animated video is filled with jokes and pop-culture references, intended to appeal to younger audiences (though the audience of older judges enjoyed it very much too). Her goal, she says in her essay, is to demystify “mathematics with humor, fun animations, and real-world scenarios.” In her video, Shirley illustrates a technique in combinatorics known as Sticks and Stones (or Stars and Bars) by telling a story about Grandpa Bob’s dilemma: He wants to know how many different ways there are for him to distribute 10 one-dollar bills among his three granddaughters. With excellent pedagogy (including falling into a tempting mathematical trap and then showing how to get out of it), the video shows the viewer how to count all ways Grandpa Bob can solve his problem. The video is fun and fast-paced, but spends just the right amount of time on the harder ideas and leavens them with colorful graphics and word choice. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Carefully executed with great attention to detail, the painting submitted by Yvonne drew the judges in with its vibrant colors and hypnotic patterns. Moreover, the theme of infinity pervades the painting, just as it does in all of mathematics. But here, the suggestion of the infinite is magical and otherworldly rather than scientific and literal, and so may appeal to audiences not normally attracted to math. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: The judges agreed withZoethat this sort of visual, hands-on manipulative “provides a deeper understanding of math than that provided by a written project. Since you can observe, hold, and manipulate the pyramids (even more so in person), the audience is able to understand why the formula works rather than just taking it at face value and accepting that it was true arbitrarily. Second, the presentation could be understood even by people without a significant knowledge of math. It put what looks like an intimidating problem in terms that are easily digestible.” Zoe even tested the presentation on friends who said they didn’t like math. That’s a good practice in any form of communication. Overall, this project is modest but extremely well done and produces a very pleasurable “Aha!” moment for many viewers; indeed, it led one of the judges to understand the “sum of squares formula” in a whole new way! AGE-RELATED CONTENT: In her project, Madeline uses the musical instrument known as the marimba to demonstrate something profound about music: musical harmony is intimately connected to the ratios of small whole numbers, a discovery that Pythagoras and his followers are said to have made 2500 years ago. The judges were impressed with the clarity and elegance of Madeline’s explanations and demonstrations. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: Apoorva Panidapu is a 16-year-old mathematics student, artist, and advocate for youth and gender minorities in STEAM. She writes a blog called “Gems in STEM” and frequently posts the essays on Cantor’s Paradise, the #1 math site on Medium.com. She sees her blog as “a place to learn about math topics in an accessible, light-hearted manner. I assume no more than basic math knowledge and include fun tidbits for learners of all experience levels. For both my own fun and for readers, I weave in pop culture, pick-up lines, and over-the-top stories to let people into the fantastical world of math, and to show them that anyone can enjoy anything.” AGE-RELATED CONTENT: When visiting MoMath, the late, great John Horton Conway impressed people by instantly telling them the day of the week that any given date fell on or will fall on. And you can do it too! What date of the week will your birthday fall on next year? Or your anniversary? Or favorite holiday? When’s the next Friday the 13th? What day of the week were you born on? Tune in for a presentation by MoMath Puzzle Master Peter Winkler on the marvelous “Doomsday rule.” It’s easy and fun, and with a little practice you’ll be able to duplicate Conway’s feat. It’s a great trick, and it’s cleverly designed so that you can remember it and wheel it out whenever it’s needed. AGE-RELATED CONTENT: The Festival site opens at 1:30 pm EDT (New York).
