Join us as we celebrate the launch of local author and award-winning mathematician Noah Giansiracusa's fascinating new book, Robin Hood Math: Take Control of the Algorithms That Run Your Life. In a society that all too often takes from the poor and gives to the rich, math can be a vital democratizing force. Robin Hood Math helps you to think for yourself, act in your own best interests, and thrive.
