‘Exhilarating Math’, a project on the theme of mathematics, began at the Regional Science Centre (RSC) and Planetarium in Kozhikode on December 23 on the occasion of National Mathematics Day. The project was launched by A.K. Vijayraghavan, Director of Kerala School of Mathematics.

The ‘Museobus’ is a specially designed bus that carries twenty interactive exhibits, inside and outside the bus, showcasing the relevance of mathematics in everyday life. Visitors can engage in hands-on and minds-on interactions with the exhibits that demonstrate mathematical principles in an entertaining way. Museobus will travel through schools and public spaces in Kannur and Malappuram districts during December 2023 and January 2024. Besides, the sky observation programme through telescope, science film shows, and science demonstration lectures are also part of the tour.
The exhibition features interactive models on topics such as Fibonacci Sequence, Pythagorus theorem, Value of Pi, Reflective property of Ellipse and Parabola, Pentomino calendar, symmetry, Euler’s Polyhedron and Conic sections.
Mr. Vijayaraghavan also unveiled a Scientists’ Bust Corner featuring eight busts of noted Indian scientists including Vikram Sarabhai, C.V. Raman, Anna Mani, Srinivasa Ramanujan, E.K. Janaki Ammal, Homi J. Bhabha, Birbal Sahni, and Jagdish Chandra Bose on the RSC premises. Binoy Kumar Dubey, curator and project coordinator of RSC, presided over the event.
