Modern Mathematics Communications — An Asian Focus

Submitted by Bianca Violet on

The article introduces IMAGINARY, a project that started out as a single mathematics exhibition and has since grown into a full non-profit organisation over the last ten years. It tries to address questions such as: ‘How can we best communicate mathematics?’, with interactive and stimulating exhibitions, online resources, and exploring any imaginable way to communicate mathematical concepts. One of its defining features is that it also addresses current mathematics research topics.

Ceramic tiles and geometry

Submitted by Suzana Nápoles on

Through the observation of tile patterns and the identification of the isometries involved in their composition, we intend to illustrate the natural connections between geometry and art and to provide a stimulating approach to isometries of the plane.

Surface Walker

A software to run around on the plane tesselated by the fundamental polygon of the torus or the Klein bottle. This is a alpha-version, feel free to improve it or use parts of the code to build your own!

Release of the Documentary Film: "IMAGINARY Uruguay: A Mathematical Journey"

Submitted by Marcelo Fiori on

During 2015, 2016 and 2017, the IMAGINARY Uruguayan team carried out a series of big IMAGINARY exhibitions all around the country. The tour included 14 cities, covering almost every state of Uruguay.

Part of this tour was documented by the uruguayan filmmaker Pablo Costanzo, resulting in this short documentary film.

Celebrating the first International Day of Mathematics, this short film now sees the light.

Dirichlet Diagrams

A simple software to create “weighted Voronoi” or “Dirichlet” diagrams. Simple to use: Click to make a point, click again to start spread of colors, click again to stop spreading. Click on the “All” Button to start or stop all spreadings.

Sombrero Vueltiao –Weaving Mathematics

Submitted by Bianca Violet on

This paper describes the weaving technique of a traditional Colombian hat called sombrero vueltiao and some of its patterns. The making of the hat–and weaving in general–involves interesting mathematical thoughts and concepts and offers many learning opportunities, for all of which we provide examples in this paper.
