Special Screening of "Countdown", Hosted by the Mathematics Department
Date and Time

Description
The Mathematics Department will screen the new film Counted Out on the evening of March 20. This film argues that mathematical literacy is vital for citizens to have agency in our society as it grapples with issues such as climate change, political misinformation, and racial justice. It also examines who has access to mathematics and how we must and can do better in providing more effective mathematical training. You can view a trailer at the film's website and read a conversation with the director, Vicky Abeles, Why Democracy Lives and Dies by Math in the New York Times. This event is free and open to all, and we hope that you will attend and encourage many of your students to as well. While not required, please consider signing up for a free ticket. This will give us a sense of how many people will be attending.
