How many numbers are there? And is infinity + 1 the same as 1 + infinity? Such questions occur to young children and our greatest minds. And they are all the same question: What is infinity? In Beyond Infinity, Eugenia Cheng takes us on a staggering journey from elemental math to its loftiest abstractions. Along the way, she considers how to use a chessboard to plan a worldwide dinner party, how to make a chicken-sandwich sandwich, and how to create infinite cookies from a finite ball of dough. Beyond Infinity shows how one little symbol holds the biggest idea of all. Register at momath.org/volumes.

Free! Math Encounters: "Category Theory: The Mad Libs of Mathematics" featuring Tai-Danae Bradley
Wednesday, August 13, at 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm ET (in person)
Mad Libs is a fun word game played by filling in the blanks of a story with different words — nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and more. Different word choices give different stories, but each has the same structure underneath. In some ways, category theory — a modern branch of mathematics — is like a Mad Libs template for mathematics. It provides a framework that captures structure shared by many ideas across the mathematical world and even beyond. In this talk, mathematician Tai-Danae Bradley offers a friendly introduction to category theory, how it connects different parts of math, and why it's popping up in the world of large language models like ChatGPT. Along the way, we’ll explore how thinking abstractly can help us see both math and language in a whole new light.

Starring Math, featuring The Proof Stage; hosted by Dr. Arthur Benjamin
Monday, September 15, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm ET (online)
Join host Dr. Arthur Benjamin, MoMath's 2025–2026 Visiting Professor for Public Outreach, and author Stephen Abbott for an engaging discussion of the book The Proof Stage: How Theater Reveals the Human Truth of Mathematics. Beginning in the last century, a handful of adventurous playwrights took inspiration from the fractures of modern mathematics to expand their own artistic boundaries. Originating in the early avant-garde, math-infused theater reached a popular apex in Tom Stoppard’s 1993 play, Arcadia. In The Proof Stage, mathematician Stephen Abbott explores this unlikely collaboration of theater and mathematics. He probes the impact of mathematics on such influential writers as Alfred Jarry, Samuel Beckett, Bertolt Brecht, and Stoppard, and delves into the lives and achievements of mathematicians, such as Alan Turing. The result is an unexpected story about the mutually illuminating relationship between proofs and plays — from Euclid and Euripides, to Gödel and Godot. Participants are encouraged to read the featured book independently, then join the online conversation with Dr. Benjamin, who will take us deeper into the making of the book and the math behind it. Order your copy of The Proof Stage from Additions, the shop at MoMath, and help support the premier math museum in North America. Register at momath.org/starring-math.
