The VideoMath festival is being held on the occasion of ICM’98<\/a>, the International Congress of Mathematicians<\/a> in Berlin. It is the first festival dedicated to videos concerning mathematics. The videos were selected by an international jury in a worldwide competition. They target a general audience interested in popular science, mathematical topics, and applications of mathematics in everyday life.<\/p>\n

This reel comprises the 24 winners of the worldwide VideoMath competition. The entries have been selected by the jury on basis of their mathematical relevance, technical quality, and artistic imagination. The themes include problems in topology and geometry and their recent solutions, as well as visualizations of classical ideas of Archimedes<\/a>, Eratosthenes<\/a>, Pythagoras<\/a>, and Fibonacci<\/a>. Topics from high school mathematics and applications of modern numerical methods to real world simulations are addressed.<\/p>\n

The videos target a general scientific audience interested in mathematical topics and their visualization. They are useful for initiating discussions, and to stimulate further research. The VideoMath collection is eminently suitable for school and university instruction. It provides an entertaining and informative look into current research into pure, applied and didactic mathematics.<\/p>\n
