This week at MoMath: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7 Math Encounters: On the Shoulders of Giants: Newton Revealed with William Dunham 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm Meet the great Sir Isaac Newton, as revealed through a lifetime of collaboration and communication. William Dunham, who delves into both math and its history, uses Newton’s own words to expose the man behind the math. From his earliest known letter, through exchanges with Leibniz, Locke, and others, to his most-quoted passage about standing on the shoulders of giants, Newton comes to life at his best… and his worst. momath.org/math-encounters THURSDAY, JANUARY 8 Winter Wonderlamp 6:30 pm In celebration of 2015, the International Year of Light, brighten up winter by taking a journey into the wonder of mathematical form and biomimicry.
