MIT has its own neat code of referring to geographical locations. Buildings are often called by their numbers. And they're actually mostly method with touches of madness. Don't worry, this class will cover plenty of both.

Learn a new, artistically freeform and visually pleasing script in which to write English words! The Elian Script makes English writing look like abstract art, whether you use this fact to make writing beautiful or to camouflage the fact that you're writing words.

Despite having earned quite a reputation (and arguably deservedly so) of dubious means of mathematical justification, Pierre de Fermat still brought to the mathematical world very important ideas and tools, merely often unjustified. Today, we look at these tools, most notably, his Little Theorem: not his Last Theorem, his Little Theorem.

There are many brands of soymilk locally available, from Silk to "8th Continent". Come and taste the various kinds and decide which you like best!

This class discusses the variety and evolution of Beethoven's musical style through the thirty-two piano sonatas that he wrote.

There's much more to classifying sounds than just consonants and vowels, including many properties of sounds you use every day but didn't even notice exist.

Think about how you go to school everyday. You're probably pretty familiar with it. But could you explain how to get to your school to an alien? Are there any details that people have pointed out to you that you've never seen before? Come explore the MIT / Cambridge area with us as we learn how to be more observant of your surroundings. Find wonder in the mundane by looking around with us, writing your own exploration reports, and reading famous poets and authors' take on truly experiencing one's environment.

Have you ever wondered why Greenland is considered an island but Australia a continent? Come to this class to find out why your hunches were probably correct.

Prime numbers are both fundamental and mysterious in mathematics. Let's look at properties of primes, different types of primes, and eye-opening mathematical results relating to primes.

Oh no, we're not even stopping at a googolplex.

Did you know there's way too many ways to sort a list of numbers? Did you know that the way you probably sorted them is probably not the most efficient way to do so if you were a computer? Come to this class to learn about all the sorting algorithms (ways of sorting) you wanted or did not want to know.

We know how carbon and other atoms usually behave in organic compounds, but let's pretend that reality does not apply and mathematically approach organic chemistry by extrapolation...what possibilities are there now?

Did you know that France borders the Netherlands? Not in Europe, they don't. But elsewhere, yes. (France also borders Brazil, by the way.) Learn why this and other bizarre properties of the world's geography are true in this class.

Many grow up on the seven-continent model of land in the world. Is this model actually reasonable? We investigate alternative methods of looking at land in this class.

This course prepares students to take the AP Calculus BC exam in the spring.

A curious journey through the twisted history of mathematics, across all the various oddities exhibited by mathematicians of every era and the spectacular evolutions of conjectures into theorems.
