Auf 1000m² Ausstellungsfläche laden über 100 Experimente zum Mitmachen, Nachdenken und Staunen ein. Bei uns können alle Altersgruppen Mathematik spielerisch erleben, für Vorschulkinder bieten wir eine eigene Abteilung.
Mathematics in Conversation is a dialogue series of the Maths Adventure Land. 3-4 times a year, Prof. Dr. Andreas Thom (TU Dresden) welcomes mathematicians who present their current research topics and their areas of application in a clear and entertaining way.
The audience experiences science at first hand and also learns interesting facts about the guests’ motivations, ideas and career paths in conversation.
The Museum Guard and Mathematics
How many supervisors are actually needed to protect precious exhibits in an exhibition, and where should staff be located in the room to keep the best possible eye on all the artworks? However, what one usually finds out in practice by trial and error can be determined much more precisely: namely by mathematical abstraction!
Michael Joswig has been working as Einstein Professor of Discrete Mathematics / Geometry since 2013 and conducts research in the field of polyhedral and geometric combinatorics at TU Berlin. He is a co-developer of the mathematics software “polymake”, which is used worldwide for this field of research. In conversation with Andreas Thom, he will talk about, among other things, the great influence his long-standing hobby of photography has on his scientific work and how it serves as his visual inspiration.
