Come one, come all! The Math and Stat Fair is a time for math to be fun and interactive, full of puzzles and games, arts and crafts, magic and mystery, statistics and problem solving, raffle tickets, and FREE PIZZA!
Can you beat one of the fair volunteers at tic-tac-toe or at hex bridges? Can you solve the puzzle of the Knight's tale? Or figure out how the monks moved the towers of Hanoi? Would you like to build some beautiful paper crafts or see some magic?
Come for some fun and games, stay for the math and the free pizza. Perhaps you can win a cool prize as well.
There is NEVER a boring moment at the Math and Stat Fair!

Dr. Frank Sottile (Instructional Professor at Texas A&M)
In mathematics and science, we often need to think about high (3 or more) dimensional objects, called spaces, which are hard or impossible to visualize. Besides the question of what such objects are or could be, is the problem of how can we make sense of such spaces.
The goal of this discussion is to give you an idea of how mathematicians manage to make sense of higher-dimensional spaces. We will do this by exploring the simplest spaces, and through our explorations, we will begin to see how we may tell different spaces apart.
This event is FREE to attend! We have lots of fun in store for you and we want to know if you will be there! Please let us know in advance you plan on coming if you’d like to make the registration process faster.
We welcome all TAMU undergraduate students in the sciences to volunteer for our event! We also accept high school volunteers who are familiar with our events.
