What's happening in math?
Screening of the film Counted Out
The mathematics department is organizing a screening of the new
film Counted Out on the
evening of March 20 at 7:00pm (location to be announced). This film
makes the case that mathematical literacy is vital for citizens to
have agency in our society as it grapples with issues such as climate
change, political misinformation, and racial justice. It also
examines who has access to mathematics and how we must and can do
better in providing more effective mathematical training. You can
view a trailer at the film's website and read
a conversation with the director, Vicky Abeles, Why Democracy Lives
and Dies by Math, in the New York Times.
This event is free and open to all. It is not required, but
please consider signing up for
a free ticket. This will give us a sense of how many people
will be attending and will send you a (non-annoying!) reminder about
the film. See this flyer for more information.
