Our #InfiniteSums initiative supported #PiDay events around the country that invited people to connect with #math in joyful and creative ways — from South Carolina's Allendale Hampton Jasper Regional Library to the Queens Botanical Garden and Indiana's Spencer Pride.

Last Saturday, over 8.5K people showed up to the @bklynlibrary.bsky.social for "Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics," part of our Infinite Sums #PiDay celebrations. Learn more about our #InfiniteSums initiative: https://infinitesums.simonsfoundation.org/ #math

Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics | Brooklyn Public Library Night in the Library, BPL's overnight festival of ideas, invites you to panels, workshops, performances and screenings that celebrate the free flow of ideas in the company of others.

Flatiron scientists, including #FlatironCCA director @dalcantonjd.bsky.social, are giving short talks at the Brooklyn Public Library's #PiDay event tomorrow! Full schedule: www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/night-library-p... #math #InfiniteSums

Pi Day Pi is more than just its famous digits (3.14…); it’s a symbol of math’s mystery and beauty. We’re celebrating Pi Day with events nationwide, exploring how pi shows up in the most unexpected places.

quote from Marcus Garrick Miller: "“For me, math and music aren’t the same thing. They don’t translate directly into one another, but both fill me with awe and joy. In each, there’s a creative, problem-solving space where I can explore ideas deeply, whether it’s cracking a conceptual math problem or experimenting with harmony and composition.”

quote from Marcus Garrick Miller: "Math can make you feel very small, but in that smallness, it opens a sense of possibility, like looking up at the night sky or a mountain."

#InfiniteSums math ambassador Marcus Garrick Miller has seen firsthand how people often feel daunted by math, so he works to create experiences where #math generates a sense of awe, instead. Read more about his work: infinitesums.simonsfoundation.org/math-ambassadors-marcus-...

As part of our #InfiniteSums initiative, six botanical gardens across the country are inviting people to experience the beauty of #math through nature: infinitesums.simonsfoundation.org/math-ambassadors-katie-e...

quote from Savita Madan that reads "We’re emphasizing the importance of being able to recognize yourself as someone who can engage in math and get excited about math without necessarily having to see yourself as this “professionally trained mathematician.”

Through our #InfiniteSums initiative, the ACM's Savita Madan is helping 20 children’s museums work with caregivers & children to build #math confidence and literacy. Read our interview: infinitesums.simonsfoundation.org/math-ambassadors-savita-...
