Symmetry and the City: A Walking Tour with Chaim Goodman-Strauss

MoMath's celebrated Outreach Mathematician Chaim Goodman-Strauss — co-discoverer of the hat tile — leads two special walking tours that reveal the hidden mathematical beauty woven into the city's architecture.

August 2: Symmetry and the City — Starting at MoMath in Manhattan, the tour explores the decorative language of 19th-century architecture, from tiled façades to carved windowsills, examining how patterns and symmetry echo the structures of music itself. Part visual puzzle, part historical deep dive. 9:30–10:30 a.m. Limited to 32 participants.
