Pi Day Film Screening and Events
March 14 @ 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Free
Thanks to the sponsorship of the LANL Foundation, Northern New Mexico STEAM Coalition and LSGermann Consulting LLC in collaboration with SFCC, a special free screening of the film “Counted Out,” is scheduled with special activities from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at the SFCC Planetarium (Room 215) on Friday, March 14.
The mathematical constant pi (π) is celebrated by mathematicians around the world on Pi Day, with the 3/14 giving a nod to pi. March 14 is also the day Albert Einstein’s was born. Join in SFCC’s celebration. Read more about the fun ways people celebrate this date in an AP story from last year.)
About the film:
Counted Out investigates the biggest crises of our time through an unexpected lens: math.
In our current information economy, math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the influence of our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we have access to, the jobs we get—all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice.
But whether we know it or not, our numeric literacy—whether we can speak the language of math—is a critical determinant of social and economic power.
March 14 Schedule for film and events:
- 12:30 to 1 p.m. Networking and pie (yes, yummy pie!)
- 1 to 2:30 p.m. Film Screening
- 2:30 to 3 p.m. Reflections
