Today started out, as per usual, with a math class in the morning. We proved the Multiplicative Theorem we learned yesterday and learned about Euler’s ϕ function, we even discovered and easy formula for the otherwise very unintuitive function. After lunch, however, we had a guest speaker come in to give a brief math lecture. His name was Mik Laczkovich and he gave a lecture on Farey’s series and what is revealed through the series, which is a pretty interesting thing about fractions.
After the guest lecture, our class took a field trip to the Vasarely Museum! As our class pondered the museum, we looked at each piece closely and learned about the work of Victor Vasarely. Some of our favorite pieces are shown below!
While we walked through the exhibit, some of us decided to create some art ourselves. Below are pictures of the work that me and my friend synneva made! (mine is on the right, hers is on the left).
And at the end of the trip, we all got the chance to play a quick game of whack-a-mole!
After visiting the museum, we took a short walk to a nearby restaurant where we ate dinner as a group. On the way we passed by an interesting fountain.
Unfortunately, there was some confusion over the orders and some people had to wait a while before their food arrived. Speaking from personal experience, it was worth the wait and I had some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. Bruce had to leave early, but we were able to find our way back on our own.
From your favorite people in room 361,
Michael, Aaron, and Eric
