April 5th-April 12th are the dates for Math
Awareness Week at the University of Arizona. April is National Mathematics
Awareness Month. This year the focus is on the contributions of mathematics
to the understanding of our own genome. With the nearly complete human genome
sequencing,
we are coming to understand and solve many medical and
biological problems. In fact, mathematics has contributed
centrally to the interpretion and use of this new store of data. The
purpose of MAW at the University of Arizona is to provide
exhibits, activities, and events to help students and the public learn
more about the mathematics in genome science and
mathematics in the world today. Please visit the sites below for more information about the schedule for Math Awareness Week at the University of Arizona and other fascinating online information about math and the genome.
- Our schedule of events, all
of which are FREE, OPEN to the PUBLIC,
and of INTEREST to a GENERAL AUDIENCE;
