The new Museum of Mathematics -- "MoMath" -- aims to revive the fun and wonder of math, and show that it doesn't end with arithmetic

Funnily enough _asakiyume_ is posting on a maths related topic too and my reaction is Ewwww! Maths! (I happen to be dysnumeric :o)

You might enjoy the article, anyway -- and even the museum!

It sounds and looks (yes, there's a photo) like a fun place. One needn't know the numbers to appreciate the funky shapes they've produced.

Aha--that's something Vi Hart's dad has been working on.

Isn't she Ms Hexaflexagon? (or is it flexahexa?)

[peteralway]

Yep. Though I think of her as Ms. Doodling-in-math-class. My dad had a book on hexaflexagons when I was a kid, so I don't associate her with them so much. She also did a camber septet based on the Harry Potter books. She's one of the world's great nerds.

She rocks :-)
