A number of mathematical models were displayed at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exhibition to promote the idea that students must visualize algebraic relationships through geometry. Today, algebraic geometry serves as a source of deep insight throughout mathematics. #MathAtSFO
German mathematician Alexander Brill (1842–1935) created some of the earliest mathematical models which were made from plaster. These models allowed students to see the geometry of complex functions, revolutionary to mathematics at the time. #MathAtSFO #mathematicalmodels
It’s your last week to see “Mathematics: Vintage and Modern!”https://t.co/loGSK6ryKu #MathAtSFO #Mathematics
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
Cool math exhibit at SFO via @SFOMuseum #MathAtSFO Mathematics: Vintage and Modern is located post-security in Terminal 2. Highlights tools that help students learn arithmetic, geometry, and calculus, as well as vintage children’s toys & games.
Modern cryptosystems rely on huge prime numbers for secure cyphers. Historically, secret messages could be sent by replacing one letter with another. #MathAtSFO #Mathematics #Math #cryptologists #ciphers
Check out our exhibition “Mathematics: Vintage and Modern” for the math behind Rubik’s cubes, Klein bottles, and knots, among much, much more. It’s on view post-security in Terminal 2 and online at https://t.co/loGSK6ryKu #PiDay #MathAtSFO #math

It does everything that a pocket calculator can do except that it is entirely mechanical—no battery, no keypad, no liquid-crystal display. To add numbers, users simply turn a crank. #MathAtSFO
From 1947 to 1972, the Curta calculator sold for around $125.00 and graced the pockets of engineers, accountants, surveyors, and pilots. Collectors cherish its meticulous engineering, likening the Curta to a fine pocket watch. #MathAtSFO
During the 1930s, the smallest calculator weighed several pounds. Austrian engineer Curt Herzstark (1902–1988) conceived of a pocket-sized calculator that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide. #MathAtSFO
Tacoma Math celebrates the recent Tacoma snow by finding conic section curves with a flashlight. Try it on your own before the snow disappears (and have a Happy and healthy New Year!) #tacomamath @GraduateTacoma #MathAtSFO @SFOMuseum

Do you see the tricks these objects are playing?
Renowned mathematician Kokichi Sugihara of Meiji University in Tokyo creates ambiguous sculptures—solid objects which seem to defy common-sense notions of direction and shape. #MathAtSFO #KokichiSugihara
"It’s no secret that SFO has some of the best darn exhibitions in the Bay Area." #MathAtSFO keeps excellent company on @KQEDarts list of 2021's best art and exhibitions. Thanks for the mention!
2021 and the world opening up allowed for more visits to art exhibits, museums and shows.
Here’s a look back on some of the beautiful, challenging and exciting visual art of the past year 🎨 https://t.co/XF4DVNC0Ln

Henry Segerman is a professor of mathematics @OKState. His research interests include three-dimensional geometry and topology, and mathematical art and visualization. Henry visited our exhibition recently and posed for a portrait with his featured work! #mathematics #MathAtSFO
Intrigued by topology—the study of geometric properties that do not change when you stretch a shape— Bay Area physicist Cliff Stoll began making Klein bottles. #MathAtSFO #Mathematics #Kleinbottle
