Remember your mathematics lessons in
school? Well, most grown-ups probably can’t – or even won’t – remember,
glad that this experience is now part of their past. The rest still get
an uneasy feeling in their stomachs remembering all those numbers and
placeholders, not knowing what they’re good for or how they should be
used in “real” life. Very few look back on school mathematics with
smiles on their faces. Those who do are the few who were lucky enough
to not just to follow their math teachers’ comments, but also to
understand the “beauty and magic of mathematics,” in the words of
Rudolf Taschner, one of the initiators of the “math.space” project.
