Math Midway Virtual Visit!
January 18, 2010Starting February 6th-April 18th, The New York Hall of Science is proud to present its latest traveling exhibition “Math Midway” and of course we are also proud to announce that a Virtual Visit has been developed for its launch.
The Math Midway features fun and challenging mathematical content at all levels from children to mathematicians. There is a range of unique exhibits, from square-wheeled tricycles that ride smoothly on a circular track of catenary arcs, to a plane of laser light that you can pass plastic polyhedra through to find their surprising cross sections. You can create unique pen and ink drawings to take home using the mechanical harmonograph. Or play with the “organ function grinder” in which you input a number, set a function, and turn the hand crank to generate both a numerical output and a unique calliope tune, which is transformed according to your function.
*Math Midway is a production of the Museum of Mathematics, America’s only museum dedicated to the wonders of mathematics.
