May 29, 2001 – Justin Timberlake of 'NSYNC will hold a press conference 5 p.m. today at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston to announce the formation of the MathNMusic Club, in partnership with MathMastery and the Giving Back Fund.

"We're excited that Justin Timberlake of 'NSYNC and Britney Spears have joined with MathMastery to form the MathNMusic Club," said Harry Hagerty, president & CEO of MathMastery.
