The Greek term combines ‘poly’ meaning many and ‘hedra’ for faces or sides; hence, polyhedra are three-dimensional shapes made of polygon faces joined at the edges and corners. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on October 04, 2021.

The light, elegant aesthetic of these sculptures shows the power of mathematical ideas: with only a minimal amount of material, the unique character of a polyhedron comes to light. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on October 04, 2021.

Today, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) teaching integrates four disciplines into a program offering practical instruction with “real-world” applications. Even so, universal mathematics literacy remains an ongoing challenge. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on April 11, 2022.

Viewed in mirrors, Sugihara’s illusions show a change in appearance when seen in different directions. He uses projective geometry to create anomalous mirror symmetry. The upper surface of these objects appears flat, but they are actually curved along the sight lines. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on December 29, 2021.

What’s going on in the museum? We’re packing objects for our upcoming exhibition #MathAtSFO. Our workshops aren’t in the terminals, so we must prepare objects for the short journey over from our building. #behindthescenes #SneakPeek #MuseumMonday This tweet was posted on July 26, 2021.
