Does your hometown have any mathematical tourist attractions such as statues, plaques, graves, the café where the famous conjecture was made, the desk where the famous initials are scratched, birthplaces, houses, or memorials? Have you encountered a mathematical sight on your travels? If so, we invite you to submit an essay to this column. Be sure to include a picture, a description of its mathematical significance, and either a map or directions so that others may follow in your tracks.
Submissions should be uploaded to http://tmin.edmgr.com or sent directly to Ma. Louise Antonette N. De Las Peñas, mathtourist1@gmail.com
