Community Outreach

In our efforts to expand mathematical knowledge and share the joy and beauty of the subject, EAGL has reached out to the community on several occasions. During each outreach activity our goal is the same, to provide each student with a different perspective of math, teaching them that it is not just a bunch of numbers, rather it is fascinating and artistic at the same time. One of our current projects that is a perfect example of this is the Hyperbolic Crochet Project.
