Come explore Tang exhibitions through a math-y lens! Join us on Monday, May 2, from 4 to 6 pm for “Math Trails,” which students in MA 116: Math in the Museum created for the Tang’s current exhibitions, Opener 34: Ruby Sky Stiler - New Patterns, and Radical Fiber: Threads Connecting Art and Science. These self-guided Trails allow visitors to explore the shows via a series of math problems that help expand the connections between math and art, and engage the works in a different light.

MA116: Math in the Museum is taught by Rachel Roe-Dale, Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and Rachel Seligman, Assistant Director for Curatorial Affairs and Malloy Curator (and lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics). Math in the Museum: Art and Math Trails is the culminating project for students in the class. Working in teams, they developed the Trails’ math questions and solutions.

The students are: Annika Bergofin ’24, Ariana Cruz ’24, Callie Derechin ’24, Cate Dressel ’25, Joey Dugan ’22, Naomi Epstein ’24, Lindsay Galarneau ’23, Amy Holzberger ’25, Sky Jasienowski ’25, Stephanie Kemple ’25, Jade Kobor ’24, Maria Langford ’23, Lizzie Lewis ’24, Gisselle Lucio-Sanchez ’25, Iris Mastny ’25, Daniella Nacht ’24, Olivia Salim ’25, Seamus Signorelli ’24, Lissa Silk ’23, Erys Smith ’25, May Sun ’23, Andres Teran Varcas ’24, Sadie Vehslage ’24, Katie Yan ’22, and Emmie Zaltas ’24.
