Twenty years later, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mos.org\/visit\/exhibits\/mathematica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eit opened down the street at the Museum of Science in Boston\u003c\/a\u003e, where we’d visit it as kids. It’s still there. And, now, here, is the IBM-published poster that largely reproduces at timeline of mathematical history—and men. (Are there any women on there? Hold, please . . . There’s one: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emmy_Noether\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEmmy Noether\u003c\/a\u003e.) Distributed as a giant perforated sheet that one is meant to separate so to turn into a 12-foot display of math men (and one woman), it’s a masterclass of information design and makes us wish we’d not been turned off by the price of a graphing calculator in the early 1990s when we wanted to double-major in math. Instead we just stuck with printmaking. An uncommon item that is massive and prone to destruction, this one is in uncommonly good shape. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"(JFANAP)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278294028528,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/7040\/9508\/files\/MenofModernMathematics.jpg?v=1787080331","url":"https:\/\/ksmallgallery.com\/products\/men-of-modern-mathematics-a-history-of-mathematics-from-1000-to-1900","provider":"Katherine Small Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
