Talk:Mathematics tourism

Why?

It seems strange to have the Great Pyramid of Giza listed as a destination with absolutely no explanation of what makes it a mathematical destination. Okay, it's scenic and big, but so freakin' what? When destinations are included in this topic, it would make sense to say WHY someone interested in maths would want to visit... Mrkstvns (talk) 15:27, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Mathematics tourism created

Swept in from the pub

A gap in science tourism has been filled, as we now have an article on mathematics tourism. Feel free to contribute with math-related destinations and advice. /19:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC) —The preceding comment was added by Yvwv (talk • contribs)

• comment: Great! maybe off the track, but the "Youth Math Olympics" is a annual challenge for students. The competition calls in selected teams from their countries/regions, meet annually and solve a very hard questions/subjects the jury challenges them. In Tokyo, the mainstream news media reports whenever this town hosts that challenge. Winners are invited to a city tour. --Omotecho Omotecho (talk) 03:46, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Sydney Opera House?

I'm not denying the math used in shaping the Opera House, but is this the intent of Mathematics Tourism? Surely thousands of buildings would qualify? Andrewssi2 (talk) 01:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I've reverted it. The description gave no indication of why this is of more mathematical interest than any other architecturally unique building. —Granger (talk · contribs) 04:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

No, I agree with Mx. Granger: it's definitely not of mathematical interest (the extreme complex design of it is inherently of mathematical interest, but mathematical interest does not equate to mathematical tourism). --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:13, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
