Abstract
Mathematics is a fascinating field that is a pinnacle of human endeavor. But most people perceive it to be agonizingly boring and a source of immense anxiety. How can we change the way mathematics is experienced? We will consider options like mathematics and theater, mathematics and expository writing, and mathematics and art, and how each of these can help to change people's attitudes towards mathematics.
