THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MATHEMATICS STRIVES TO ENHANCE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING AND PERCEPTION OF MATHEMATICS. ITS DYNAMIC EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS STIMULATE INQUIRY, SPARK CURIOSITY, AND REVEAL THE WONDERS OF MATHEMATICS. THE MUSEUM'S ACTIVITIES LEAD A BROAD AND DIVERSE AUDIENCE TO UNDERSTAND THE EVOLVING, CREATIVE, HUMAN, AND AESTHETIC NATURE OF MATHEMATICS. 0 0 3104000 1099041 MUSEUM: DURING FISCAL 2014, MOMATH OPERATED A HANDS-ON MUSEUM FOCUSED ON MATHEMATICS. SCHOOL GROUPS FLOCKED TO THE MUSEUM DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, WITH FAMILIES AND TOURISTS ROUNDING OUT VISITATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND ESPECIALLY ON WEEKENDS. 698170 465189 COMMUNITY: THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MATHEMATICS OPERATES A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS THAT REACH INTO THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE EXPERIENCES THAT HIGHLIGHT THE EVOLVING, CREATIVE, AND AESTHETIC NATURE OF MATHEMATICS. THESE PROGRAMS ALSO AIM TO SHOW THE MANY UNEXPECTED WAYS THAT MATH TOUCHES ON THE WORLD AROUND US AND ON OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. THEY INCLUDE TWO TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS (MATH MIDWAY AND MATH MIDWAY 2 GO), TWO MONTHLY PRESENTATION SERIES (MATH ENCOUNTERS AND FAMILY FRIDAYS ), AND A NUMBER OF OTHER IN-HOUSE PROGRAMS, FESTIVAL PRESENTATIONS, TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOPS, DIRECT STUDENT PROGRAMS, MATH TOURNAMENTS, AND MATHEMATICAL WALKING TOURS. MATH ENCOUNTERS (MATHENCOUNTERS.ORG) IS A FREE PUBLIC PRESENTATION SERIES DESIGNED TO DEMONSTRATE THE RICHNESS OF MATHEMATICS. HIGHLIGHTS DURING FISCAL 2014 INCLUDED PRESENTATIONS BY ORIGAMI EXPERT ROBERT LANG, FIELDS MEDALIST TERRY TAO, PHYSICIST BRIAN GREENE, AND "MATHEMAGICIAN" ART BENJAMIN. THIS FLAGSHIP SERIES ROUTINELY DRAWS SEVERAL HUNDRED ATTENDEES, AND IS SPONSORED BY THE SIMONS FOUNDATION. FAMILY FRIDAYS, A PREVIOUSLY UNFUNDED PROGRAM, WAS SPONSORED BY TIME WARNER CABLE DURING THE FISCAL YEAR. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN TO EXPERIENCE ENGAGING MATH ACTIVITIES TOGETHER ON AN EQUAL FOOTING. INITIAL PRESENTERS INCLUDED COLM MULCAHY, NATHAN KAPLAN, AND JORDAN ELLENBERG. 433713 368668 MATH MIDWAY: THE MATH MIDWAY (MATHMIDWAY.ORG) TRAVELING EXHIBITION IS ONE OF THE MOST PUBLICLY VISIBLE ACTIVITIES OF THE MUSEUM. DESIGNED BY MOMATH PRINCIPALS PRIOR TO THE FORMATION OF THE MUSEUM, IT SERVED AS A TANGIBLE PROOF OF CONCEPT: IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUILD ENGAGING EXHIBITS THAT VISITORS WILL NOT ONLY ENJOY BUT ACTIVELY SEEK OUT, AND WHICH WILL ILLUSTRATE A WIDE VARIETY OF MATHEMATICAL IDEAS AND PRINCIPLES. THE MATH MIDWAY TOUCHES ON AREAS OF MATH AS DIVERSE AS GEOMETRY AND GROUP THEORY, CALCULUS AND COMBINATORICS, AND SHOWS HOW MATH CAN CONNECT TO ART, OPTICS, ENGINEERING AND MORE.THE MATH MIDWAY IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN SCIENCE CENTERS AND MUSEUMS. IT INCLUDES TWENTY HANDS-ON, INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS, EACH OFFERS VISITORS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE A MATHEMATICAL CONCEPT AND DISCOVER SURPRISING PRINCIPLES OR PHENOMENA. THE MOST POPULAR EXHIBIT IS "PEDAL ON THE PETALS", IN WHICH VISITORS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RIDE A SQUARE-WHEELED TRICYCLE, AND EXPERIENCE A SURPRISINGLY SMOOTH RIDE BECAUSE OF THE TRACK CALCULATED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE UNUSUAL WHEEL SHAPE. FROM JULY 2013 THROUGH JUNE 2014, THE MATH MIDWAY VISITED TURTLE BAY EXPLORATION PARK IN REDDING, CA, WINGS OVER THE ROCKIES IN DENVER, CO AND THE ROCHESTER MUSEUM AND SCIENCE CENTER IN ROCHESTER, NY. DURING THIS TIME, THE MIDWAY SAW APPROXIMATELY 68,000 VISITORS, BRINGING THE MIDWAY'S LIFETIME TOTAL TO APPROXIMATELY 650,000 VISITORS. 4235883 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 47 0 56 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X ROBERT RUNES 2125420566 134 WEST 26TH STREET SUITE 4S NEW YORK NY 10001 GLEN WHITNEY PRES./TREASURER/CO-EXEC.DIRECTOR 80.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID MAGERMAN VICE PRESIDENT UNTIL 12/4/13 0.30 X X 0 0 0 JOHN OVERDECK TRUSTEE THEN VICE PRES.AS OF 12/4/13 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER BROOKS SECRETARY UNTIL 12/4/13 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LAETITIA GARRIOTT DE CAYEUX TRUSTEE THEN SECRETARY AS OF 12/4/13 1.00 X 0 0 0 DUANE ADAMS TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANOUSHEH ANSARI TRUSTEE 0.30 X 0 0 0 KEVIN ATTESON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER CARR TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN DELLA PIETRA TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ROBERT J FREY TRUSTEE 0.30 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW GOLDSTEIN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLE G HANKIN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ROBERT W JONES TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES JORASCH TRUSTEE UNTIL 3/4/14 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN KEATING TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDY LEONG TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAUL ROSENTHAL TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ART STEINMETZ TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID TUROCK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JADE VINSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRAD WILSON TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN WOLFRAM TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CINDY LAWRENCE CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 110.00 X 102500 0 0 TIMOTHY NISSEN CHIEF OF DESIGN 60.00 X 139636 0 5364 242136 0 5364 2 0 0 0 BENCHMARK BUILDERS 237 WEST 35TH STREET SUITE 901 NEW YORK NY 10001 CONSTRUCTION 769227 THREE BYTE INTERMEDIA 231 WEST 29TH STREET RM 504 NEW YORK NY 10001 TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING 596567 UNIVERSAL SERVICE ASSOCIATES INC 500 ELLIS AVENUE COLWYN PA 19023 DESIGN SERVICES 297725 LEXINGTON ACQUISITION INC 12660 BRANFORD STREET PACIOMA CA 91331 INFORMATION SERVICES 243305 KUBIK MALTBIE ASSOCIATES 7000 COMMERCE PARKWAY MOUNT LAUREL NJ 080542288 GRAPHIC DESIGN SERVICES 119576 6 194112 2046309 100000 1799369 34566 4139790 ADMISSION REVENUE 712100 1385561 1385561 EXHIBIT RENTAL 712100 149687 149687 PROGRAM FEES 712100 133299 133299 MEMBERSHIP DUES 712100 10093 10093 1678640 19111 19111 270 270 50517 0 50517 50517 50517 219948 111661 108287 108287 108287 66387 2046309 215302 -148915 -148915 527416 273158 254258 254258 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 712100 3950 3950 3950 6105908 1932898 0 33220 107917 83096 14029 10792 1075032 827775 139754 107503 72659 55952 9443 7264 112436 86582 14613 11241 5275 2215 2711 349 120769 50693 62099 7977 104611 33448 63068 8095 115058 114914 81 63 470064 342719 106919 20426 54738 50623 2958 1157 919395 717628 115042 86725 75535 55801 19069 665 1537332 1533706 1813 1813 10706 8010 1782 914 EXHIBIT MAINT/TRANSPORT 205548 205548 PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO 53215 52015 1200 SPEAKER & PERFORMER EXP 14300 14300 LOGISTICS 5100 850 4250 10 8 1 1 5059700 4235883 553382 270435 287687 211640 6752717 9000979 418730 279053 183476 108253 73551 84790 102799 113046 16641998 2641629 15196167 14000369 31692 32268 1600690 1716896 24647509 25547294 596766 498789 1187765 1139319 0 1784531 1638108 X 21021485 23044437 1841493 864749 22862978 23909186 24647509 25547294 1046208 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3561246 12395518 8654056 4588444 4139790 33339054 3561246 12395518 8654056 4588444 4139790 33339054 14234528 19104526 3216 24950 49776 85525 69898 233365 248 4566 670 3950 9434 33581853 4489494 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2009 AMOUNT: $ 248. 2010 AMOUNT: $ 4,566. 2012 AMOUNT: $ 670. 2013 AMOUNT: $ 3,950.
