Travelling mathematics exhibition visits Utrecht

Mathematics is beautiful, and has an infinite number of applications. That is the idea behind Imaginary: the power and beauty of mathematics , a travelling exhibition that will be presented at Utrecht Science Park in the first three weeks of October. Challenge yourself with complex puzzles on large touchscreens, listen to mathematicians from Utrecht University, and learn all about the real-world applications of this field that is sometimes so hard to grasp. All ages are welcome! - Mathematical art. The exhibition is full of colourful posters featuring mathematical figures, 3D printed models and other objects of art based on concepts like hyperbolic geometry. In a hyperbolic space, the sum of the corners of a triangle is greater than 180 degrees, in contrary to what you might remember from school. Don't believe it? Try drawing a triangle with three 90-degree angles on a balloon.
