Leonhard Euler: Mathematical Idol

Everyone is familiar with the popular TV show American Idol.  Perhaps less well known is the traveling show: Mathematical Idol hosted by none other than the great Leonhard Euler (who this year celebrated his 304th birthday!) This show is making a special appearance at the MichMATYC meeting this year! In this show you will be introduced to some of the greatest mathematical talent in history all vying for coveted title of Mathematical Idol. The show includes not only astounding mathematics but four original mathematical songs sure to inspire even the most mathematically astute among us. This is a once in a lifetime event – don’t miss it!
