Dear MoMath friends,

What does West Side Story have to do with mathematics?  It’s all about the rhythm, especially when reimagined by multi-Grammy-nominated Latin percussionist Bobby Sanabria!  Don’t miss a discussion of the math and music featuring Bobby, Leonard Bernstein’s daughter Jamie, and Rutgers math professor Alex Kontorovich, or the live performance featuring the Multiverse Big Band, performed in MoMath's intimate event space.  Practicality more your speed?  Explore the math of transit systems, use modeling to evaluate risk, and learn about the hidden dangers of algorithms embedded in the world around us.  Plus, meet YouTube star Grant Sanderson of 3blue1brown and listen as Fields Medalist Manjul Bhargava shares the story of how his curiosity about patterns in the world around us led him to an award-winning career in mathematics.  Metrics, models, Manjul, and Maria...don’t miss the exciting lineup of events at MoMath!
