Conclusions

In all of these varied activities among diverse populations, there is one common thread: the Geometry Center strives to present mathematics visually and interactively. We use tools such as computer graphics, animations, hypertext, videos, and world-record icosahedra to achieve our goals. And although we do not charge admission to visitors, we are like a modern science museum: we are trying to convey to students, teachers, and the general public that mathematics is alive, requires participation, and can be extremely rewarding. We continue to seek new opportunities and vehicles to spread this important message.
