Mathematics Museum To Open In Manhattan

eldavojohn writes "If math gives you a raging brainer prepare yourself for MoMath opening next year to 'expose the breadth and the beauty of mathematics' in New York City. After raising $22 million from donors, Glen Whitney wants to challenge the average American's perception of mathematics. Whitney has proven himself with Math Midway a sort of traveling carnival exhibit, and prior to that worked on algorithms at Renaissance Technologies."

Another museum to consider.

It's nice to see places that help popularize subject matter most would consider mundane.

If any readers are interested in the fascinating history of spinal care, the Palmer College of Chiropractic has three locations of the Palmer Museum of Chiropractic History which are open to the public.

It starts with DD Palmer back in 1895 when he discovered the vertebral subluxation, and how he cured a deaf man's hearing. From there it carries on to his son, BJ Palmer, and goes into depth covering his studies and important research.

If you're ever near one of these locations (IA, CA, FL), it's well worth the time to visit. Without the Palmers' great insight into spinal health and subluxations, many people today would be crippled, deaf, cancerous, with heart disease or dead.

Take care,
Bob
