Share the Love of Math -- Students -- Enter Contest!

A Contest for High School Students -- Read on to learn more . . .

     Students who are 15 to 18 years old (on September 1, 2025) are invited to apply for the 2026 Steven H. Strogatz Prize for Math Communication (sponsored by MoMath, the NY Museum of Mathematics) to share their love of math with the world!

     On or before April 23, 2026 projects will be accepted in the following categories:

        Art, Audio, Performance, Social media, Video, and Writing.

Examples include: podcasts, articles, school newspaper columns, art exhibits, videos, websites, Instagram accounts, songs, plays, and any other mode of public communication.  Detailed information is available at this link.

     One of my delights as I read about Momath's contest was to find -- among the 2025 winning entries -- a poem,  "The Life of X" by "Samuel Scheinblum."  I offer the first six lines of  this triangular poem below:
