We introduce and outline a workshop concept called Science Spaces aimed at High School students, which combines mathematics and natural sciences with art to strengthen creativity, imagination, and perceptual abilities. The workshop guides the participants through the process of designing and implementing a public exhibition.

We describe a math-art contest for new creative ideas and their realizations based on modern mathematical concepts currently worked on in two Berlin-based collaborative research centers. By combining mathematics with art and design the power, the fun, and the beauty of this interdisciplinary connection is shown.

In this paper we discuss experiences with a collaborative and participative approach of communicating mathematics to a broad audience. We give a list of recommendations and ideas, how the public itself can be involved in creating mathematics exhibits and can become an integral part of outreach activities. The ideas are accompanied by sample activities we carried out within “IMAGINARY – open mathematics”, a project by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach supported by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung.

We describe the permanent integration of mathematical content into a shopping center in Heidelberg, Germany. Main features are a mathematical image gallery, conveyor belt designs, a multi touch screen station, riddles in the bathroom, and at the bakery, classic quotes, as well as a temporary shop window display.

Die statistische Visualisierung benutzt graphische Methoden um Erkenntnisse aus Daten zu gewinnen. Wir zeigen wie mit dem Verfahren der Hauptkomponentenanalyse die Sterblichkeit in Spanien im Laufe der letzten hundert Jahre analysiert werden kann. Diese Datenzerlegung zeigt sowohl erwartete geschichtliche Ereignisse auf, als auch einige, teilweise überraschende Entwicklungen der Sterblichkeit im Laufe der Zeit.

Angenommen, eine Gruppe von Einzelpersonen möch- te unter verschiedenen Optionen wählen, zum Bei- spiel einen von mehreren Kandidaten für ein poli- tisches Amt oder den besten Teilnehmer einer Eis- kunstlaufmeisterschaft. Man könnte fragen: Was ist die beste Methode, einen Sieger in dem Sinne zu wäh- len, dass er die individuellen Präferenzen der Grup- penmitglieder am besten widerspiegelt?

Communication forms the basis of biological interactions. While the use of a single communication mechanism (for example visual communication) by a species is quite well understood, in nature the majority of species communicate via multiple mechanisms. Here, I review some mathematical results on the unexpected behaviors that can be observed in biological aggregations where individuals interact with each other via multiple communication mechanisms.

Martmatics is a project to show how Mathematics and Art have been related to each other throughout history and how they are still linked today. There are many bonds and the authors have chosen the most attractive and significant ones. You will find a brochure and also an activity book with excercices to accompany the examples from the brochure.
