The beginning of our collaboration was featured in an article by Emory News in April 2022, where we shared how our interdisciplinary work, combining mathematics and movement, is transforming the learning experience.

In the article, we reflect on the early days of blending dance with mathematical concepts. What started as an experimental approach to teaching dynamical systems through movement quickly grew into a vibrant, transdisciplinary project. Our goal was to make abstract mathematical ideas more tangible by engaging students physically, allowing them to experience the concepts firsthand.

​

MathLEAP has since evolved into a full initiative that goes beyond traditional teaching methods, incorporating collaborative research and creative exploration. By combining math and movement, we aim to inspire students to think critically, connect with the material on a deeper level, and foster a sense of community that bridges the gap between the sciences and the arts.
