Submit your mathematical artwork to be featured in a gallery at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2026 in Philadelphia! We invite visually striking works from mathematicians, artists, and students around the world. Selected images will be featured in a gallery showcasing a diverse and contemporary vision of mathematics.
Big media and user response
Big media and user response
Mar. 7, 2013
We are very happy that the user response to the new IMAGINARY platform was so big - too big for our server capacity. Today in the morning we registered 1.3 million accesses on the site (before 11:30 am) and we had to react quickly to shift the website to a new server. This caused several delays and also the platform was not online for about 2 hours. We are very sorry for this!
Now the platform is up and running again and we will do our best to further improve it. We are looking forward for your feedback and for your mathematical creations. And here we give you the link to one of the main “causes” for high traffic today: an article in spiegel.de on our platform. Thanks for the article (next time we are prepared!).

The poster for IDM 2026 is here! It is based on this year’s theme, Mathematics and Hope, and features a circular rosette pattern.
The poster is available in several languages and comes in two versions: a full-color design and a black-and-white version that you can color yourself.

Curious about how machine learning works and how to teach it?
IMAGINARY created a free and open-source online course for (prospective) teachers. It introduces two key topics of AI in a playful way: artificial neural networks and reinforcement learning.
A special...Read more

MaRDI is a Germany-wide initiative to address challenges in mathematical research. It is aimed mainly at mathematicians to change how we do mathematics using FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) research data. This way, it fits very well with our own open-source philosophy.
IMAGINARY actively participates in this initiative by assisting in communicating and...Read more
