Origin of life and evolution: phylogenetic tree
Enviado por David Niyukuri el
The variation of the Object’s position in Space within a time period is the essence of dynamics of physical world. The replacement of Nucleotide at different sites of DNA within a time period are the milestones of evolution of life. That shed light on our understanding of the evolution of life on the Earth and the Universe. The study of life evolution contribute to our understanding of different disciplines from geology to astronomy, wherever biology intervene without forgetting medicine and epidmeiology in fighting diseases through drug and vaccine development, mapping transmission networks, etc. We gave an example of a phylogenetic tree of influenza virus and its transmission network.
The mathematics of tides
Most people know something about what causes tides: if asked, almost everyone will say tides are caused by the moon. But if one delves a little deeper, it is easy to find many questions which arise naturally and are not so easy to answer. This interactive application tries to give an intuitive approach to some of the mathematics underlying tides, which is not so obvious for non specialists.
Platonic Solids
Enviado por Tom Crawford el
The Platonic Solids are some of the most beautiful and symmetrical shapes in the mathematical world and as a result have fascinated mathematicians for thousands of years. This exhibit explains their mathematical deifnition and how they have been used throughout history to model everything in our universe, from the classical elements of Ancient Greece through to Kepler’s model of the solar system. It also explores their appearance in nature and how humans have made use of their mathematical properties to improve the design of man-made objects.
"Pattern polymorphism of an imaginary shell"
Enviado por Fotios Begetis el
Colour and pattern polymorphism refers to the occurrence of multiple discrete colour and pattern phenotypes within populations that result directly from genetic variation.In these following pictures, I am trying to explore colour and pattern on the surface of an imaginary shell through mathematical means.The platform I used was 3D-XplorMath-J.
TsunamiLab
TsunamiLab is a web platfom that allows interactive simulation and visualization of tsunamis. It can be displayed as a normal website or as a hologram. Find more at tsunamilab.cl/hologram.

Fly faster? Fly shorter!
“Fly faster? Fly shorter!” is an educational math game (designed for one-player or two-players mode). Players fly a plane that cannot change speed, so they can win only by following the shortest route between the checkpoints they have to reach. But which is the shortest route on a map? Test your skill!

The interactive software PyFWI demonstrates the propagation of seismic waves and the principles of seismic imaging.
African calculators and tools for perpetual Gregorian calendar
Enviado por Ibrahim Sidi Zakari el
Our gallery includes six (6) photographies of mathematical objects; as part of our invention and innovation in the field of Gregorian calendar. These photographies are:
- A vertical calculator for dates searching
- A circular calculator for dates searching
- A tutorial for the calculators (vertical and circular)
- An ancient calendar (sample) with years classification
- A calendar covering 600 years period (from 1701 to 2300) with years classification and tutorial
- A computer Keyboard including a two steps mathematical algorithm for dates searching
Simulating the Melting of Ice Caps
Sea levels are rising for various reasons related to global warming. The glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland, known as ice caps or ice sheets, play a major role in sea level rise. Is it possible to predict future changes in these ice caps, and particularly the calving of icebergs into the ocean?
The module answers to this question by showing numerical simulations of ice sheet dynamics.
