Mathematics and Hope
The theme for the 2026 IDM is ”Mathematics and Hope”.
Connecting hope and mathematics creates opportunities for deeper insight and knowledge. Mathematics gives us hope to understand reality and truth clearly, learn cooperation, find win-win strategies, and more.

To celebrate the 2025 IDM, we invited you to participate in our Math You Can Touch Challenge by using your artistry and creativity to construct mathematical sculptures from everyday physical objects.
The gallery is now live on our website!

Eight people stand or sit in a circle, some wearing head coverings. Each person holds a small triangular slice of watermelon (one eight of a circle). The slices are arranged so that their tips point toward the center.
This year’s creative challenge is using Art and Creativity to construct mathematical elements using everyday objects and send us a photo of your work.
Everyone can participate. Team up! There's time until March 10.
