This exhibition is part of a project funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research under the brandname Research in Germany. This is the second of two IMAGINARY exhibitions in Israel in 2015/2016. The first exhibition was at the Clore Garden of Science at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot until mid of December.
The exhibition is open Sunday to Friday, from Thursday the 24th of December until Friday the 29th of January. During that period the exhibition is closed on two days - on Sunday Dec 27 and on Thursday Dec 31 (due to other events in the center).The entrance is free of charge.
There is a cafeteria inside the venue so that visitors have the opportunity to sit down and buy refreshments.
Big groups have to coordinate with Arkadius Kalka.
The exhibition is accompanied by a SURFER competition for Israel which continues until 12 April 2016:
Go to the event site or directly to the competition site.
Sunday - Thursday: 9:30 - 17:30
Fridays: 9:30 - 12:30

This Friday, April 5, a special IMAGINARY exhibition featuring sculptures and images will be shown for the first time in Denmark, at the Steno Science Museum in Aarhus, see here for the event info. It will be open until August 31, 2013. Then the exhibition series in Russia will find its continuation in a one week exhibition at Pushchino, a small town south of Moscow. It is the fifth exhibition in Russia, coordinated in collaboration with the German Embassy in Moscow (and some more are in the planning pipeline). In May IMAGINARY will be honoured to travel to Norway - also a first-timer - to be shown after the celebrations of the Abel prize ceremony in Oslo. It will be presented in a science museum in Trondheim - more detailscon be found here.
And if you are in Spain (and up for the Camino de Santiago), don’t forget to stop by the University Church next to Santiago de Compostela’s cathedral to see the ongoing RSME-IMAGINARY there - open until May 16, 2013.

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.

If you would like to participate, please fill in the registration form.
Please bring along your ideas, you can leave them already via the idea brainstorming form.
You can also share your ideas, even if you are not able to participate.
At the STEAM Hub Innovation Forum (31.5 - 1.6.2018, in Berlin, details to be announced shortly) we will then take a selection of ideas one step further into the market!
17:30-20:30

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.
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.

Bienvenidos a la version española de «IMAGINARY - open mathematics»! Se puede acceder usando el nuevo selector de idiomas en la cabeza de la pagina o con el enlace directo de www. imaginary.org/es. Todos los contenidos principales de exposiciones han sido traducidos e invitamos a todos colaboradores de juntarse a nuestro equipo de traductores para ayudarnos a traducir los contenidos de los usuarios. La edición española de la pagina ha sido implementada y coordinada por la Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME). La RSME ya organizó mas de 15 exposiciones en ciudades en España y dos instalaciones temporarios en museos en Madrid y Barcelona.
Estamos tambien preparando la plataforma en alemán, francés y portugués. Les mantenemos al tanto!
