Have a look at our article "on the importance of Illustration for Mathematical Research." We argue that #illustratingMath not only has a positive aspect for communication of #Math results, but also for the #Research process itself. If you want to collaborate on this, hit me up!

Happy Pi Day, everyone!

Pi is everywhere

Tomorrow, 14 March, is the International Day of Mathematics! The 2026 theme is “Mathematics and Hope,” and the IDM website already features hundreds of events worldwide. Explore and join the celebration: idm314.org #IDM314 #PiDay #Mathematics

@InHenriPoincare 🚨Correction🚨 The talk will be tomorrow, MARCH 13th, at 5 pm Europe! (Not February and not 6 pm, thanks to some copy-paste errors and the US switching from daylight saving to summer time earlier than Europe, respectively.) Here's a corrected poster👇See you all there & then.

Tomorrow, on Friday, the 13th, join us for the second "Live from the @InHenriPoincare" #illustratingMath seminar online. You will get to hear what people have been working on during the current trimester program. We start at 9am Pacific/12pm Easter/6pm EUR. See you then!

Are you interested in #GeometryProcessing? Are you great with programming in C++? Are you a Master's/PhD student or a Postdoc? Then please apply for this project for the #GSoC. This is a great way to boost your portfolio while contributing to a widely used OpenSource library.

My fractal artwork to wish you a Happy International Women's Day! 🥰

For Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting Women Who Count: Honoring African American Women Mathematicians by Shelly M. Jones. A powerful look at the African American women whose work has shaped mathematics across generations. Link in comments.

The International Day of Mathematics (IDM) is approaching fast (March 14th / Pi-Day). If you want to do some #illustratingMath in preparation for that, the organizers have just released their "color them yourself" posters: #posters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">idm314.org/decorate#poste…. Please share your results!

🚨Last-minute invite🚨 If you are in Paris and looking for something to do this afternoon, you can attend a screening of the movie "Solving the Bonnet Problem" today at 2 pm at the @InHenriPoincare. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the creators. See you there!

Here's a sneak peek from the #illustratingMath #shortFIlms screening, a video by @henryseg: youtu.be/g3X0d5NUjjA. (3/3)

In the afternoon, there are two screenings of #illustratingMath #shortFilms. A highlight is the movie by Alba Málaga (albamath.com/en/about) about folding a flat torus (which we all get to do while watching the video). The Q&A with the creators is super insightful. (2/3)

On today's 4th day of our #illustratingMath conference on "Bridging visualization and understanding in Geometry and Topology" at the @InHenriPoincare, we hear talks from Thomas Fernique, Sofia Lambropoulou, and Lou Kauffman (online), touching on tilings, braids, and more. (1/3)

3rd day of our #illustratingMath conference at the @InHenriPoincare - a short day with 3 talks. Samantha Fairchild, Mélanie Theilière, and Martin Traizet speak about their respective views on surfaces: how to compare them, how to embed them, and how to visualize them, of course.

In the afternoon, the participants get to work in hands-on "technique sessions." Topics include: Rhino & Grashopper, Shader Programming, Vibe Coding in P5.js, Discussing Choices and Dimensions, Dessin mathématique, Real-time visualization, and Weaving a Klein Quartic. (2/2)

On the second day of our #illustratingMath conference on "Bridging visualization and understanding in Geometry and Topology" at the @InHenriPoincare, we hear from Claire David and Aurélien Alvarez. Next to some lively discussions, we also take our conference group photo. (1/2)

In the afternoon, we close with an exhibition of various #illustratingMath objects. The last set of objects, laser-carved into plexiglass, can be explored interactively here: lael.dev/billiards. A great way to end the first day and to kick off this conference week! (2/2)

This week: Second conference of the #illustratingMath trimester at @InHenriPoincare, titled "Bridging visualization and understanding in Geometry and Topology." Talks are by Hugo Parlier, Érika Roldán, and yours truly. Play with Hugo's app here: quadratis.app/playPuzzle.html (1/2)
