MaRDI - Mathematical Research Data Initiative

The core principles for addressing research data are summarized in the FAIR acronym: data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.

 

In 2016, the German Council for Scientific Information Infrastructures (RFII) promoted the creation of different German National Research Data Infrastructures (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur, NFDI), as part of a nationwide coordinated development of scientific information infrastructures.

 

MaRDI (Mathematical Research Data Infrastructure) is the NFDI section devoted to mathematics. A consortium of 15 research institutions across Germany, led by the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS), is creating the infrastructure for handling mathematical data according to the FAIR principles. This includes creating data repositories, web portals, standardization procedures, search engines, training and promotion across the mathematical community, and beyond.

 

IMAGINARY collaborates with this initiative by helping with the communication and promotion of the project across different publics.

La La Lab - The Mathematics of Music

La La Lab has been shown at MAINS in Heidelberg (May 17, 2019 - Dec 20, 2020)!
Please find all details on the venue and opening hours (in German). The exhibition is in English and German, entry is free!

 

Music and Mathematics share many similarities as fields of study. Both disciplines are abstract, have structures and manipulation rules, a well defined notation, and are absolutely precise in their results. Working on them requires practice and an analytical mind. It is no surprise that Mathematics and Music are closely related.

But their relationship goes far beyond an analogy. Mathematics is infused deeply in all aspects of Music, from the physics of sound to the crafting of instruments, from rhythmic patterns to tonal harmony, from classical to electronic music. Mathematics supports Music and our understanding of Art the same way as it supports Physics and our understanding of the World.

Hearing music with mathematical ears brings to the music lover understanding, appreciation for details, and a greater enjoyment of the art; and to the professionals the ability to compose and perform, and tools to express their creativity.

Conceived in collaboration with world renowned experts, La La Lab - the Mathematics of Music mixes a laboratory format with interactive exhibits to present visitors with the historical, conceptual, and philosophical connections between mathematics and music: from the centuries-old tools that musicians use for composing, to the most current research that pushes the boundaries of musical creativity and mathematical knowledge.

La La Lab: 1 minute walk-through from IMAGINARY gGmbH on Vimeo.

Please let us know, if you are interested in showing La La Lab at your museum, science centre, school or university. We are happy to offer help and assistance to produce or adapt the exhibits!

Pre-release Mathina online test day

We have developed exciting stories for children aged 4 to 19 who deal with various math topics. For example, encryption (of secret messages), symmetry (of cuddly toys), logic (when solving puzzles), and spatial imagination (when flying kites).
Each topic has content tailored to four different age groups. Interactive applets are integrated into the individual chapters, which convey the content intuitively and are also fun. It is planned to make the offer freely available on a platform in several languages under an open license (German, English, Portuguese, Italian).

 

We present the materials and their possible use in lessons or other educational offers.

The event takes place online and is free of charge.

Register here.

 

We look forward to meeting you!

Instantáneas de la actualidad matemática

Las instantáneas son artículos cortos y de fácil comprensión sobre temas recientes de investigación matemática. Describen problemas e ideas matemáticas de un modo accesible y comprensible, y arrojan luz sobre los temas de actualidad en la comunidad matemática a cualquiera que esté interesado en la matemática contemporánea.

Las instantáneas están escritas por verdaderos expertos en sus campos. En el Instituto de Matemáticas de Oberwolfach, cada semana se reúnen entre cincuenta y sesenta expertos de todo el mundo y trabajan juntos en los desafíos actuales de las matemáticas. Introducen nuevos resultados, discuten diferentes estrategias y desarrollan nuevas ideas. Después de cada simposio, el instituto pide a algunos participantes que expliquen un aspecto de su investigación de modo comprensible para el público general, en unas pocas páginas. Jóvenes matemáticos revisan los artículos colaborando con los autores, y juntos preparan una versión editada para publicar.

Encuentra todas las instantáneas en la sección de textos de IMAGINARY. Hasta el momento, más de 20 instantáneas están disponibles en inglés y alemán. Otras las seguirán próximamente. Algunos artículos en inglés también se están traduciendo a otros idiomas. Se pueden filtrar las instantáneas por área de las matemáticas y/o por conexiones con otros campos, además de por autores.

El proyecto de instantáneas tiene como objetivo promover el conocimiento y la apreciación de la matemática contemporánea y la investigación en matemáticas entre el público general en todo el mundo. Es parte del proyecto “Oberwolfach se encuentra con IMAGINARY, y está financiado por la Fundación Klaus Tschira y la Fundación Oberwolfach.

Matemáticas del Planeta Tierra en el Deutsches Technikmuseum

Erupciones volcánicas, tsunamis, el deshielo de los glaciares, ¿se pueden calcular? ¿cómo de importante es la contribución de las matemáticas para la comprensión de estos problemas y catástrofes ecológicas que actualmente desafían nuestro mundo? La exposición «Matemáticas del Planeta Tierra» nos permite entender mejor estas cuestiones. Estará expuesta en el Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin desde el 27 de marzo. Varias pantallas ofrecen videos interactivos y simulaciones con ejemplos específicos y sus modelos matemáticos.

Esta exposición se desarrolló en 2013 bajo el programa «Matemáticas del Planeta Tierra». Más de un centenar de instituciones científicas, universidades, ONGs y centros de investigación se unieron para crear una consciencia pública de la contribución de las matemáticas hacia los desastres naturales y desafíos ecológicos a los que nos enfrentamos. Este programa recibió el auspicio de la UNESCO, el International Science Council ICSU, y el International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics ICIAM.

Una parte destacada del programa fue la creación de una exposición cuyos contenidos estuvieran disponibles bajo una licencia libre. Se organizó un concurso internacional, en el que los perticipantes pudieron enviar contribuciones virtuales, como imágenes, peículas, programas o diseños y planos para construir expositores físicos. Veintinueve grupos de once países participaron en el concurso.

Para la exposición en el Deutsches Technikmuseum, un jurado ha seleccionado tres contribuciones, que han sido adaptadas y preparadas didácticamente. Los proyectos seleccionados se presentan en pantallas táctiles que pueden ser usadas interactivamente por los visitantes. El expositor «Dune Ash» de la Universidad de Freiburg es una simulación virtual de una erupción volcánica. El cálculo del movimiento de una nube de cenizas volcánicas se hace visible al visitante. El expositor «El futuro de los glaciares», de la Universidad Libre de Berlín muestra cómo los expertos crean modelos para predecir el movimiento de los glaciares. Finalmente, el expositor «Tsunami» es un proyecto de la Universidad de París que muestra una simulación de la evolución y el cálculo de las olas de un tsunami, así como una visión histórica sobre la formación y consecuencias de tsunamis devastadores en el pasado.

La exposición ha sido orgnizada en colaboración con IMAGINARY, un proyecto del Centro de Investigación Matemática Oberwolfach, patrocinada por Klaus Tschira Stiftung. Se puede visitar en el Deutsches Technikmuseum hasta el 27 de junio, y está situada a continuación de la exposición permanente «El primer ordenador», sobre Konrad Zuse.
