Sit back and relax with a glass of wine (alcoholic or not), and learn something new as Andrea Bertozzi illustrates the mathematics behind the little shock waves going through your vessel of vino, creating a weepy pattern of “wine tears” on the inside of your glass! Special introduction by Krešimir Penavić of Clai Winery.

Math Encounters is a public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, presented by the Simons Foundation and the National Museum of Mathematics.
