 Inside the Colosseum
Mathematical Beauty in Rome - Math in Rome for short - is an exciting and unique five-week summer program for undergrads (part of the UCSD Global Seminar series) where we go to Rome, Italy to explore mathematics and engineering of classical Roman architecture. We study the geometries and structural principles of the Colosseum, the Pantheon, St. Peter's, and much more. There are excursions to Florence to study Brunelleschi's dome and to Pisa to study the Leaning Tower. If you want to live in Rome for five glorious weeks to study mathematical beauty in the Eternal City and other great cities of Italy, this program is for you!
