Celebrate the invention of the Rubik’s Cube at Math 4 Fun Nov. 9

October 23, 2024

NATCHITOCHES – There are over 43 quadrillion arrangements – and only one solution to one of the most popular puzzles ever invented.

Math teachers of all levels are invited to join a celebration of the 50^th anniversary of the Rubik’s Cube, the iconic 3D combination puzzle invented by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik in 1974.   Math 4 Fun will take place from 10 a.m-noon Saturday, Nov. 9 at the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts Center for Performance and Technology (second floor) where mathematicians will gather for math puzzles and games.

Math 4 Fun encourages excitement among teachers as they share and experience what they love.  The session will include a meal from a local restaurant and every participant will leave with a prize.

For more information, to RSVP or to be added to the Math 4 Fun mailing list, contact Dr. Judith Covington, professor of mathematics at Northwestern State University, at covingtonj@nsula.edu.

Math 4 Fun is sponsored by the American Institute of Mathematics and NSU’s Stan Chadick Mathematics Enhancement Fund.
