Please join us for the Gathering 4 Gardner Martin Gardner Celebration of Mind
Thursday October 21, 2010
Why the Celebration?
Martin Gardner passed away on May 22, 2010. He wanted no memorials, but he expressed a desire for the Gatherings for Gardner to continue.
In this spirit the Gathering 4 Gardner Foundation will celebrate Martin's life and work, and continue his pursuit of a playful and fun approach to Mathematics, Science, Art, Magic, Puzzles and all of his other interests and writings. We encourage everyone to bring a magic trick, puzzle, recreational mathematics problem or story about Martin to share at your event. We will host an archive of the events to share with all of the participants.
The Martin Gardner Global Celebration of Mind Gatherings will take place in different locations around the world on October 21, 2010, which would have been Martin's 96th Birthday.
The Global Gathering welcomes everybody to join this celebration party by signing up to attend an event in your area, or take the lead to organize and host a celebration party by following these instructions.
