A monthly series hosted by Tim Chartier

with Tony DeRose of Pixar Animation Studios

Math goes to the movies! Join MoMath’s Distinguished Visiting Professor Tim Chartier and special guest Tony DeRose, formerly of Pixar Animation Studios, for a discussion of Brave.
Each month MoMath’s Distinguished Visiting Professor Tim Chartier will host an hour of discussion about movies that have a connection to mathematics, either in their content or their creation. Each month you’ll watch the featured film at your convenience, then join Tim and his special guests, who will take us deeper into the making of the film and the math behind it.
Though viewing each film is not required for participation, it is suggested that participants stream the movies independently prior to the event.
Please note that this is an online-only event; all registrants will be participating remotely. Occasional video recordings are made available for a fee at videos.momath.org.
