"From Russia With Math" Saturday, November 14, 3:00-4:30 p.m. Free with Museum Admission ($10 adults, $7 seniors, $5 students and children) The documentary "From Russia With Math" shares the success story of the Russian School of Mathematics (RSM), dubbed by the Boston Globe the "Russian solution to the US math problem." Founded in 1997 in Newton, MA by Russian immigrants Inessa Rifkin and Irina Khavinson, and based on the belief that any child can learn to understand and enjoy math, RSM has grown into one of the largest after-school math enrichment programs in the US, taught in English and now serving nearly 15,000 students across 8 states. Inessa and Irina began with a personal mission to help their own children, and ended up changing the face of math education in the United States. A question and answer session with the film's producer, Elena Ulanovski, and the co-founder of the Russian School of Math, Inessa Rifkin, will follow the film.
