Help math department build Fort Sierpinski

On Oct. 28, please help Glen Whitney and the math department build Fort Sierpinski, a 20-foot structure in the form of the Sierpinski tetrahedron. Absolutely no math background is needed to participate — if you’ve ever played with Tinkertoys, Legos, or wooden blocks, you’re qualified! Drop by for five minutes or an hour, even well into the afternoon, and help bring our mammoth model of this famous fractal to life. Glen is the Problem Warden of the Prison Math Project (see prisonersdilemma.org).

11 a.m. Fri., Oct. 28 • Quad side of Pardee • MORE
