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.

Almanya ve İsrail arasındaki 50 yıllık diplomatik ilişkilere dayanarak, Oberwolfach Matematik Araştırma Enstitüsü (MFO) tarafından oluşturulan IMAGINARY İsrail projesi, Federal Almanya Eğitim ve Araştırma Bakanı Johanna Wanka tarafından 10 Şubat’ta Weizmann Bilim Enstitüsü’nde (İsrail) gerçekleştirilen bir ziyaret aracılığıyla duyuruldu. Proje kamuya açık iki matematik sergisi ile Almanya ve İsrail’deki genç matematikçiler için iki çalıştaydan oluşuyor.
Bu proje dahilinde IMAGINARY, ilham verici sergileri düzenlemek ve güncel matematiksel araştırma konularını kamuya anlatmak için deneyimlerinden yararlanabileceği mükemmel bir bilim camiası merkeziyle (Clore Garden of Science Müzesi, Davidson Institute of Science Education-Weizmann Bilim Enstitüsü) işbirliği yapma fırsatına sahip oldu. Bu işbiriliği sayesinde İsrail’deki ilk IMAGINARY sergisi 2015 yaz boyunca Clore Garden of Science Müzesi’nde (Rehovot, İsrail) gösterilecek. Bunu 2015 yılının sonlarına doğru Tel Aviv’de gösterilecek ikinci bir sergi takip edecek.
Bu iki serginin kesin tarihleri için takipte kalın!
IMAGINARY İsrail projesinin Federal Almanya Eğitim ve Araştırma Bakanlığı (BMBF) tarafından maddi olarak desteklendiğini duyurmaktan son derece memnunuz. IMAGINARY İsrail projesi aynı zamanda bir BMBF kampanyası olan “Research in Germany(Almanya’da Araştırma)” bünyesinde iki ülke arasındaki matematiksel araştırma işbirliğini güçlendirmek amacıyla düzenlenmiştir.

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!

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 açık ve etkileşimli bir matematik platformudur. Bu platform, okullarda, evde, müzelerde sergi, etkinlik ve medya olaylarında kullanabileceğiniz çeşitli içerikler sunar. IMAGINARY’nin temel içeriği etkileşimli yazılımlar ve resim galerileridir.
Platform, sergiler ya da ek matematiksel konular gibi yeni içeriğin kolayca dahil edilmesine olanak sağlar. IMAGINARY’nın ana hedefi sizi, yani camiayı, kendi fikirlerinizle katılımınızı sağlamaktır. Bunu yapmak için asıl fikir, sergilerin camia içinde yaratılması ve sergilerin bağımsızca düzenlenmesidir.
Bu kavram ve platform 2008 yılında başlayan ilk IMAGINARY sergimizden filizlendi. O zamandan beri tüm dünyada 80’den fazla şehirde sergilendi. Serginin muazzam başarısı ve büyüyen topluluğu, bu platformun kurulmasına önayak oldu!
IMAGINARY, Mathematisches Forschungsinsitut Oberwolfach projesidir (Direktör: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Huisken). Platformun maddi destekçisi Klaus Tschira Stiftung ‘dır (2011-2013 ve 2013-2016).

Today the Spanish version of “IMAGINARY - open mathematics” was launched. With the new language selector on top of the page or the direct link www. imaginary.org/es you can open the Spanish version of the platform. All main exhibition contents are translated and we invite collaborators to join our translation community to help translating our user content. The Spanish version has been edited by the Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME), our partner in Spain. RSME organized already more than 15 exhibitions in Spanish cities and two temporary museum exhibitions in Madrid and Barcelona.
We are also working on the German, French and Portuguese versions and will keep you updated!
