Exhibit at the Math Library
Before I left Vincent hall, with librarian Carolyn Bishoff we organized a pop-up exhibit at the Mathematics Library to showcase a bunch of really cool books at the library covering everything from ancient hieroglyphic math to the ATLAS of finite simple groups and other dramatic/chaotic books found in the math library.
I hope to organize similar exhibits at other math libraries. Until then, this page is an online exhibit of interesting math books.

A few days before that, I also got to host the GeMM Trivia and asked participants questions about the library, but sadly no teams answered more than one question correctly!
