Math Awareness Month @ Math Goodies

Math Awareness Month is celebrated each year in April, and is sponsored by the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics. The goal of MAM is to increase public awareness and understanding of mathematics. This year's theme is Unraveling Complex Systems. We will explore questions such as: How do epidemics spread, birds flock, and stock markets operate?
Learn about the math behind the human heart and the economic impacts from catastrophic events. We invite you to explore these and other complex systems with us. MAM 2011 activities can be found below!
