The UNCG Weatherspoon Art Gallery is one of Greensboro's great places to visit to enjoy art and to take a little rest from the daily grind. The above photo is a quiet alcove on the second floor. As seen in the above photo, it overlooks Tate Street at Spring Garden with Aycock Auditorium on the left. Entrance to the Weatherspoon is free and sitting and reading in pure silence is free, too. While sitting there on Sunday (we were the only people in the museum, other than the guards), we saw this book on the coffee table, Candy Jernigan's* book "Evidence." The book provides evidence of her travels in Europe. One of the chapters provides mathematical evidence.
This book chapter is an example of how math and art go together and why the "A" is in S.T.E.A.M. Science, technology, engineering, art, and math. So many branches of science and art rely on mathematical evidence. Today is ABC Wednesday and "M" is for math, metrics, and mathematical evidence. See our A-L, here.
Read more about the deceased artist, here.
Looks a lovely location, and a good "M".

I always thought I was useless at maths but what I discovered was my teacher was useless, I went on in further education to pass some good grades in my work and worked in accounting and finance all my working career.
Interesting post,
best wishes,
