Maker Faire Long Island 2024
Playful math
Home: New York, United States
Math studies patterns of shapes and numbers. In this booth, we are going to lean towards shapes (although numbers may make an appearance). We will show shapes with curious properties and symmetries, intriguing puzzles and more.

Moira Chas
Moira Chas is an associate professor of mathematics at Stony Brook University. Born in Argentina, she discovered early in her life a passion for writing, and a bit later, a passion for math. Mathematics became then a source of literary inspiration until she moved to the U.S. and started living (and dreaming) in English. She works in low dimensional topology, and gravitates to mathematics that can be expressed by pictures. A large part of her research is rooted in finding and probing mathematical conjectures with computers. Many of these computer experiments have been conducted in collaboration with undergraduate, graduate and high school students.

I love to share the beauty of math with as many people as possible.
