Talks
Welcome
Adrien Rossille (IHP) - Holo Math
Maison Poincaré, new math museum in Paris. Info about opening dates, spaces, plans.
Augmented/mixed/virtual reality. Different devices. Samples of existing exhibits in museums with those technologies.
Holo Math. 45 min (30 of mixed reality), groups or 12 people + explainer. Existing episodes:
1. Brownian motion (pollen grain, random walk, galton board...)
2. Artificial intelligence (in progress. dissect perception algorithm and artificial neural networks)
Tracy Drinkwater (Seattle Universal Math Museum)
Focus on education. Pomote STEM studies. Attention to gender and ethnic balance. Address problems of math achievement, aggravated by pandemic. Focus on 8-14 years old children.
Current focus:
- Create mobile math exhibition.
- Espand programs (now hiring staff).
- Establish temporary space (in South King County).
- Identify a site for the permanent museum and open within the next 5 years.
Can Ozan Oğuz (via videoconference) Mathematics Culture Center, Istanbul
Ongoing project. History: Workshops, Mathigon platform translation, New Horizon courses for teachers, Math seminars for the general public, Weekly mathematics bulletin, free online proof methods book, Book translations, youtube channel, online database of math projects in Turkey, workshops at Gazhane museum, Tutam Tutam math festival 2022.

Keynote: Nicky Case - Some people just want to watch the world learn
Earlier projects worked on. populations, covid-19... Nutshell: the tool from Nicky to make "expandable embeddable explanations"
5 Tricks to make explanations:
- show me what made you care (make it interesting, relevant, attracting curiosity...)
- Show, then tell. Concrete, then abstract. Familiar, then new. Use Pictures, Examples, Analogies
- "Therefore & but", not "and then". Conflict/problem -therefore-> Change/solution -but-> conflict...
- Write a draft, then cut 10%
- Do real tests, early and often.
Tim Reinhardt - Real time computation of simple conformal maps
Examples: Logo of the conference, hyperbolic symmetry groups.
Able to solve since 2009, since then, the goal is to make it faster (GPU).
What is a conformal map. Riemann mapping theorem. Idea: conformal maps are infinitesimal scaling & rotations.
The arithmetic mean of points has to be preserved. Algorithm: start with some reasonable mapping for initialization. Force the mapping to fulfill the arithmetic mean condition
To deal with boundaries, use analytical continuation (Schwarz reflection principle) and restrict to the straight lines and circular boundaries.
Lauren Siegel - MathHappen
Trip fields, permanent installations, durable take home projects, demonstration model for internet, mathhappens room, reference model for educators. Live experience: pool sampling with colored and clear water.
