Join us to explore where mathematics meets nature in unexpected and delightful ways. Math in Bloom invites visitors of all ages to discover the hidden mathematical patterns in nature, from Pi to the Golden Ratio. Made possible through generous support from Simons Foundation and in collaboration with botanic gardens across the country and mathematicians from local universities, these special days feature educational classes, free activities and a lot of fun.
