The Math Midway features fun and challenging mathematical content at all levels from children to mathematicians. There is a range of unique exhibits, from square-wheeled tricycles that ride smoothly on a circular track of catenary arcs, to a plane of laser light that you can pass plastic polyhedra through to find their surprising cross sections. You can create unique pen and ink drawings to take home using the mechanical harmonograph. Or play with the "organ function grinder" in which you input a number, set a function, and turn the hand crank to generate both a numerical output and a unique calliope tune, which is transformed according to your function.
