It’s a great day to talk about math education and getting kids interested in STEM.
The New York Times, March 4, 2024
The mathematical problem that Richard Rew faced at the National Museum of Mathematics did not involve real numbers, algebraic numbers or transcendental numbers.
“But it does involve geometry and spatial perception,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s chief executive and executive director.
The problem was whether an exhibit would go through the door and up a couple of steps.
It was moving day for the museum, which was taking up residence in a former gym at 225 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, around the corner from its longtime home next-door on East 26th Street. The Fifth Avenue location is a temporary space that the museum expects to occupy for a year while preparing its new permanent quarters.
In its new pop-up space, the museum still puts the fun factor into math, with hands-on exhibits.

Cindy Lawrence, the director of the National Museum of Mathematics, in New York, put on her special Möbius-strip earrings when she was getting ready for a recent evening of math dinner theatre. The star of the show would be Peter Winkler, a Dartmouth mathematics professor and formerly MoMath’s Distinguished Visiting Professor of Public Engagement. Winkler has been leading his intimate “Probability and Intuition” sessions (as the dinner theatre is called) since 2019.
