New York, NY (PRWEB) January 17, 2017

The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) is proud to announce Two Sigma as the new sponsor of its popular "Family Fridays" program. Launched in April 2014 and free to the public, "Family Fridays" is designed to bring families together to enjoy a diverse array of engaging mathematical activities.

"We are thrilled to partner with Two Sigma on the highly-popular 'Family Fridays' program," said Cindy Lawrence, Executive Director of MoMath. "Since it began, 'Family Fridays' has entertained and informed thousands of children and adults with its unique brand of hands-on edutainment. We are delighted that we have established ongoing relationships with many families who return each month to MoMath to enjoy the wonders of math."

"Two Sigma is proud of its longstanding partnership with MoMath," said John Overdeck, co-chairman of Two Sigma Investments, LP. "We share a passion to advance the public understanding of mathematics. MoMath's 'Family Fridays' is a unique way to engage families and children by showing them that math can also be fun."

"Family Fridays" kicks off 2017 with "Instant Insanity," an evening about how to solve puzzles with MoMath's Chief of Mathematics, Nick Rauh on Friday, January 27 at 6:30 pm. The event will examine the many different ways to solve a puzzle. What makes a puzzle easy or hard? What techniques can be used to crack a puzzle? Families will be able to learn how mathematics can be used to quickly solve a classic logic puzzle in which there is only one solution among 41,472 possible arrangements.
