ADDED! Special Event - Truth Values: One Girl's Romp Through M.I.T.'s Male Math Maze, a solo show written and performed by Gioia De Cari, directed by Miriam Eusebio, Thursday, January 14, and Friday, January 15, at 8:00 p.m., Zeum Theater, 221 Fourth Street, San Francisco, next to the Moscone Center, Tickets US$35 at Brown Paper Tickets.

Due to overwhelming demand, a Saturday evening performance (8:00 PM) has been added to the special engagement of Truth Values in San Francisco. Only a very few tickets remain for the Thursday and Friday night shows.

The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) is pleased to present a special engagement of this play during the 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco. Acknowledged as one of the preeminent centers for collaborative mathematical research, MSRI is also a leader in bringing programs to the Bay Area public that unite science and the arts, such as evenings with playwrights Tom Stoppard, David Auburn and Michael Frayn, authors, respectively, of the celebrated math- and science-themed plays Arcadia, Proof, and Copenhagen. Discussions on women in mathematics will immediately follow the shows. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Association for Women in Mathematics.

All events listed below are open to all registered participants. It is strongly recommended that for any event requiring a ticket, tickets should be purchased through advance registration. Only a very limited number of tickets, if any, will be available for sale on site. If you must cancel your participation in a ticketed event, you may request a 50% refund by returning your ticket(s) to the Mathematics Meetings Service Bureau (MMSB) by January 4. After that date no refunds can be made. Special meals are available at banquets upon advance request, but this must be indicated on the Advance Registration/Housing Form. Special meals may be subject to additional fees. Click here for form.
