"Math Midway" Exhibition Precursor to Manhattan Math Museum

Glen Whitney, a former hedge fund financier, is now raising capital to open the Museum of Mathematics in mid-town Manhattan in 2012.  Until that goal is realized, a "Math Midway" exhibition is traveling the country, including a stint at the Discovery Center for Science and Technology in Thousand Oaks, CA from 18 June through 12 August 2011 [ http://www.discoverycntr.org/].  The goal of the exhibition is to "add mirth to math" and engage students to help turn the tide of decline in American math testing results.  http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/06/13/6851255-exhibits-add-mirth-to-math
