This is the 3d-data for the 3d-printing of four small math sculptures, whose shape is described by precise mathematical formulas. All four represent classical mathematical curves or surfaces, namely the following: Barth Sextic, Dini Surface, Parabolic Cylinder and Plane (called Tülle), Rational Normal Curve. The data is in STL-format, and have a wall thickness of approximately 0.7mm, and a wire thickness of 3mm.

SURFER is a program designed to make everybody feel like a mathematician. The program is a bridge between art and math. Everybody can participate in the dialogue between algebraic equations and pictures of algebraic surfaces in an interactive and aesthetic way. In this paper we will introduce the program and its potential in math art, education and communication. The program was originally developed for the IMAGINARY exhibition, a project by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach.

This paper presented at the BRIDGES conference 2013 provides a brief overview of the main steps needed for organizing a math art exhibition. As IMAGINARY visited more locations, we realized the need for providing some hints and advice based on the experience of former exhibitions. Our goal is to motivate you to make your own exhibition and to contribute to the IMAGINARY platform with your own exhibits.

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.

The Art Gallery problem is a classic problem in Computational Geometry: Given an art gallery (a polygon), how many stationary guards do you need to guard it? We show practical applications of this problem and how it can be solved.

C. F. Gauss (1777-1855) demostró que cuando se dibuja una refión de la Tierra en un mapa es imposible conservar todas las distancias. Pero ¿necesitamos sacrificar todo?

¿Has notado que a mitad del día (mediodía solar) el reloj no marca siempre la misma hora? Anochece antes el 10 de diciembre que en el solsticio de invierno. Si se observa la puesta del sol todos los días, entonces las posiciones están en una curva con forma de ocho, llamada analemna, con los extremos en los solsticios de verano y de invierno.

La temperatura de la Tierra disminuye desde el núcleo interno hacia la superficie de la superficie. Esto induce movimientos de convección en el manto terrestre. El magma más caliente se acerca a la superficie, donde se enfría. A continuación, se hunde en el interior del manto y comienza de nuevo el ciclo. Esto induce movimientos y rupturas de las placas tectónicas rígidas en la superficie.

Las telecommunicaciones, la navegacion, la meterorología, etc., pero también los teléfonos móviles, los GPS, Internet, nos proporcionan numerosas razones para instalar satélites que orbiten alrededor de la Tierra. Con este propósito, los matemáticos seleccionan y optimizan las trayectorias y órbitas de las naves espaciales con las técnicas más sofisticadas.
