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 [
