Contributed Paper Sessions for the Fall 2025 MAA-NJ Meeting:

We are seeking abstracts for review for the Fall 2025 MAA-NJ section meeting.

The deadline for submitting abstracts for this session is Friday, October 3.

The Contributed Paper Session (CPS) may focus on any aspect of mathematics.
Examples include expository mathematics, connections within mathematics or
between mathematics and other disciplines, the undergraduate mathematics
curriculum, or mathematical pedagogy. The CPS committee seeks and encourages
proposals that will contribute toward a well-balanced and scholarly program that
represents the MAA mission.

Please send the title and abstract to the Chair of the CPS Committee at:

Kathy.turrisi@centenaryuniversity.edu

The CPS committee will be reviewing abstracts submitted for consideration on
or before Friday, October 3, 2025.

Please include in the subject of the email : Contributed Paper Session Fall 2025
along with your name.

Polyplane - Exploring the Natural Laws of Shape

Alex Kontorovich and Glen Whitney are producing a compact traveling art/science
exhibition celebrating the beauty and structure of three-dimensional shapes.
Visitors will wander along a constellation of diverse geometric forms, each
precisely placed according to its numbers of sides, edges, and corners. From
this placement, a natural law that has informed centuries of human inquiry
becomes manifest: the Euler Polyhedron Formula.
