Mathematical Curves

Floor 4

An invitation to retrace the fascinating journey of human thought: from the origins of geometry to complex fractal forms. The gallery presents mathematical curves using the latest museum interpretation technologies: on one wall, the curves we see every day float before us; on another is Lorenz's animated hologram; and at the centre of the room, the curve workshop lets visitors construct more than 100 curves, from the most famous to the most exotic, all the way to the... pathological ones.
