All faculty, staff, and students are warmly invited to join the Math Department and Math Club for an exclusive Pi Day screening of the new documentary Counted Out. Whether you already think of yourself as a “math person” or simply wish you did, this film has an empowering message about how quantitative literacy is crucial for upholding democracy and shaping our world. Counted Out investigates the biggest crises of our time—political polarization, racial and economic inequity, a global pandemic, and climate change—through the lens of math. If we open our minds about who can do math, perhaps we can revolutionize who has power…and who is counted out.
Friday, March 14, 3:00-5:15 p.m. | Buckley Center Auditorium
Entry is FREE but space is limited so please register. Bonus: Free Pi Day Giveaways!
