SUMMARY:Turning Points in Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate math for our country’s 250th? \nFind out why in this spirited\, enlightening look at how we went from the practical math of the Sumerians to the Greeks and the Euclidean Geometry we study today  — and how that was foundational to our Declaration of Independence! \nMathematician Jack Sanders ties culture and mathematics together to explain the first major turning point in mathematics\, from the Sumerians’ practical math to the deductive math of the ancient Greeks creating Euclidean geometry and number theory we still study today — as did Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.  \nAs a professor of mathematics\, Jack Sanders\, PhD\, taught classes in the history of mathematics. He retired as an IBM system architect. \nA Sumerian tablet applying the Pythagorean theorem about 1000 years before Pythagoras\nLimited number of reduced price community tickets @ $10. \nSPACE IS AVAILABLE FOR WALK-INS.
