Sunday Symmetry Stroll in Historic Bedford-Stuyvesant

Explore the remarkable geometric ornament of Bed-Stuy, home to the largest collection of Victorian buildings in the United States.  Join MoMath’s celebrated outreach mathematician Chaim Goodman-Strauss for a one-mile, ninety-minute loop that teaches you how to “read” the symmetries hidden in rosettes, friezes, and façades all around you.  Along the way, you’ll learn simple tools for spotting reflections, rotations, and glide reflections — turning the neighborhood into a living gallery of mathematical pattern.

This symmetry stroll will be on a one-mile, ninety minute loop starting and ending at Fulton Park (served by the Utica Ave station on the A & C subway lines; exit at the back of the train if coming from Manhattan, or the front if coming from Rockaway).  Click here for directions.

Registration is required.  Space is limited to the first 20 lucky registrants.  Meet in Fulton Park (70 Chauncey St, Brooklyn, NY, 11233).

Please be at Fulton Park no later than 9:15 am for check-in.  The tour will leave promptly at 9:30 am.
