Mathematical Moments – a great resource
13 Dec 2006 · Posted in Mathematics
The American Mathematical Society has produced an interesting set of posters that depict the many uses of mathematics. The series is called Mathematical Moments.
There are around 50 topics, including:
Mapping the brain:
Tracking Internet traffic
Math in the Movies (about CGI effects)
They have supplied “short versions” as well, with less verbiage and larger pictures.
The disappointment for me is that the photos are quite pixelated. When you print them in A4 size (US Letter), they are not very attractive. There is one poster (Enhancing your Image) about image improvement and at least that poster has reasonable image quality.

[...] The posters are similar to the ones by the American Mathematical Society that I wrote about before in Mathematical Moments. [...]
