Lecture Series: The Magic of Mathematics

Bluewater Assoc of Lifelong Learning Series: Education in our Rapidly Changing World

Lecturer – George Hart

For mathematicians, mathematics is a joyful creative subject, but many people are turned away from it when exposed to arithmetic in elementary school. In this talk, mathematical sculptor George Hart will demonstrate how if you simply bypass arithmetic and go directly to the fun parts of mathematics you can encounter connections to art, music, magic, juggling, and more. A rich set of fun mathematical activities can inspire new approaches to education.
