Math Concert, 26 May 2012, a Fields Institute event

Math Concert: Bob Hallett (Great Big Sea), Tracy Bone, J.C. Campbell, and Moira Burke join Joy of X (Ian Parliament, Ryan Casselman, Ricardo Scucuglia, Emily Parliament, Matt Ross, Alex, Molly and Timothy Gadanidis), at the Regent Theatre, UOIT. See a news report from Western Education.

Songs based on the SSHRC-funded research of George Gadanidis (UWO), Marcelo Borba (UNESP, Brazil) and Janette Hughes (UOIT).
