The International Day of Mathematics (IDM) is a worldwide celebration. Each year on March 14 all countries will be invited to participate through activities for both students and the general public in schools, museums, libraries and other spaces.
The theme for the year is Mathematic Art and Creativity featuring Penrose tiling. Different patterns emerge depending on how they are colored.
Some problems are analogous to tulip bulbs. As mathematicians work to solve them, they may appear stagnant and stuck underground, leaving onlookers questioning whether they will ever produce a dazzling result. If they eventually grow into flowers, however, their glow brings the whole garden to life.
We asked mathematicians which open questions intrigued them the most at the moment and what the implications of solving those problems might be. Their answers are below.
