IMAGINARY Israel announced

Enviado por Antonia Mey el

On the occasion of the 50 year long diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel, the project IMAGINARY Israel by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO) will be announced in conjuction with a visit by German Federal Minister of Education and Research Johanna Wanka at the Weizmann Institute of Science on Feburary 10. The project consists of two mathematics exhibitions for the general public and two workshops mainly for young mathematicians from Germany and Israel.

Within this project, IMAGINARY is given the opportunity to collaborate with an excellent science communication center (the Clore Garden of Science The Davidson Institute of Science Education, the Weizmann Institute of Science) in order to share experiences in staging inspiring exhibitions and communicating current mathematics research to the general public. The collaboration will lead to the first ever IMAGINARY exhibition being shown in Israel during the summer of 2015 at the Clore Garden of Science in Rehovot , followed by a second exhibition shown in Tel Aviv towards the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016. 

Watch out for the exact date announcements of the two planned exhibitions!

We are pleased to announce that IMAGINARY Israel has received funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and is organized within the “Research in Germany” campaign of the BMBF, with the aim of strengthening the traditionally very good mathematical research collaborations between the two countries.

MatchTheNet

Descripción

Description: 

In each round of the game you will see some polytopes on the top half of the window.

You can rotate them to look at them from all sides.

In the bottom half you will see the same number of planar nets.
These are unfoldings of polytopes into the plane.
The goal is to match the nets to the polytopes.
You can switch any pair of nets by moving one over the other.

MatchTheNet is available in English, French, and German, it features 7 levels of difficulties for a number of 2 up to 5 polytopes. The program is well suited for temporary or permanent installations in exhibitions and science museums.

MatchTheNet is based on polymake, which is open source software for research in polyhedral geometry.  It deals with polytopes, polyhedra and fans as well as simplicial complexes, matroids, graphs, tropical cycles, and more.

How can you make good flat maps of the round earth?’ Our story begins with Mercator’s world map of 1569, the first angle-preserving (or ‘conformal’) world map. His idea fell on fruitful soil, from which a new branch of mathematics has developed. The movie shows some of the highlights of this development, yielding a series of elegant visual forms which arise as ‘conformal maps’ on a variety of surfaces in 2- and 3-D. Featuring non-technical language, a simple aesthetic, compelling animation, and an original score, the movie builds an accessible bridge from everyday experience to a beautiful but little-known mathematical theory that continues to bear technological fruit today in fields such as computer graphics and architecture.

More information on the film can be found at conformmovie.de.

If you would like to show the film in a larger space and need a higher resolution copy (1080p) of the video, please contact Charles Gunn here. Also if you would like to show the film in German, French, Italian, or Russian.

About

IMAGINARY es una plataforma dedicada a la matemática abierta e interactiva. Contiene una variedad de contenido que puede ser usado en escuelas, hogares, museos, exposiciones, o en eventos y actividades de prensa. El contenido principal de IMAGINARY consiste en programas interactivos y galerías de imágenes.

La plataforma permite integrar fácilmente nuevos contenidos, por ejemplo temas adicionales sobre matemáticas, o exposiciones. Uno de los principales objetivos de IMAGINARY es permitirles a ustedes, a la comunidad, participar e involucrarse con sus ideas. La idea principal es que los módulos se crean dentro de la comunidad, y las exposiciones se organizan de forma independiente.

Este concepto y la plataforma se desarrollaron a partir de la exposición IMAGINARY original, que comenzó en el año 2008 y desde entonces ha recorrido más de 80 ciudades en todo el mundo. Este éxito enorme y el crecimiento de la comunidad fueron los que llevaron a la creación de la plataforma.

IMAGINARY es un proyecto del Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (Director: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Huisken). La plataforma es financiada por Klaus Tschira Stiftung (2011–2013). La Real Sociedad Matemática Española realiza la edición del portal en español.

Panel at 8th Forum Wissenschaftskommunikation

Enviado por IMAGINARY el

The discussion panel will be on Tuesday Dec 1, from 5pm - 6:30pm.

Abstract of the panel (in German):

Interdisziplinäre und partizipative Formate stellen einen wachsenden Trend in der Wissenschaft, Kunst und Kommunikation dar und vereinen Kreative unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen: wissenschaftliche Konferenzen werden zu partizipativen Festivals von ForscherInnen und KünstlerInnen, Ausstellungen werden von WissenschaftlerInnen und dem Publikum gemeinsam entworfen und eigenständig organisiert und neue Museen zeigen nicht nur Kunst & Wissenschaft, sondern erforschen selbst experimentelle Museums-Technologien für andere Museen. 

Die junge Szene boomt, ist international ausgerichtet und bringt viele neue Initiativen und Akteure hervor – innerhalb und außerhalb der Wissenschaftsinstitutionen. Ist das eine Chance für die Wissenschaftskommunikation, um neue Zielgruppen zu erschliessen? Wie ist mit den neuen Initiativen und Formaten umzugehen? Wie können diese von Wissenschaftseinrichtungen genutzt werden, um einen Mehrwert für die Vermittlung von Wissenschaft zu schaffen? Diese Session gibt beispielhaft Einblick in nationale und internationale Projekte und Entwicklungen und diskutiert die Möglichkeiten im Rahmen der Wissenschaftskommunikation von Forschungseinrichtungen und Universitäten.

La La Lab – the Mathematics of Music at MAINS in Heidelberg

Enviado por Bianca Violet el

Conceived in collaboration with experts in current research of music and mathematics, La La Lab mixes a laboratory format with interactive exhibits to present you with the stunning connections between mathematics and music pushing the boundaries of musical creativity and mathematical knowledge. It features more than a dozen interactive exhibits with newly developed software, images, 3d prints, hands-on installations, projections and a special reading and listening area. The exhibition is also part of the German Science Year of Artificial Intelligence 2019 presenting several exhibits on AI and music.

 The exhibition pivots over three axis (mixed inside the Lab):

  • Music theory.
    Learning what tools build music, and how these tools are used to create art. Basic concepts and historical comments.

  • Current research.
    The latest trends of research in the connection of maths and music. Artificial Intelligence, theoretical and new instruments, classification and composition tools.

  • Art and entertainment.
    A joyful display of artworks from artists and mathematicians in the field. Talks/concerts at scheduled events.

The exhibition is created by IMAGINARY, with the scientific and artistic advisorship of Moreno Andreatta (IRCAM Paris, Univ. Strasbourg), Thomas Noll (ESMUC Barcelona), Luisa Pereira and Manuela Donosa (New York) and Jürgen Richter-Gebert (TU Munich); and with the generous contributions of more than 20 artists and scientists working in the field.

The exhibition is presented by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF), who created MAINS, a special event and exhibition venue dedicated to mathematics and informatics. The former showroom of the “Heidelberger Druckmaschinen” offers plenty of space to raise public awareness of the disciplines’ importance for society.

The exhibition was made possible by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung. It is supported by the Technical University of Munich.
