We’re eager to hear from you whether we’ve hit the mark with this first version - and also how it can improve from here! The products we strive to build make it possible to more easily explore new ideas, to develop them, and to share them. Over and over we’ve seen the power that comes from matching a powerful tool with a curious mind. We’re hoping that we can help to change that. Yet very few of us have built up a deep intuition for how points, curves, and surfaces behave in three dimensions. conic sections) to the practical (volume, surface area), to the professional (movie & game design). So much interesting mathematics lives there, from the abstract (e.g. The world we inhabit is three-dimensional. Few people today instinctively reach for a 3D calculator when trying to reason about a question.īut that’s exactly why this tool has felt so important to develop. Why jump into this new dimension? 3D graphing doesn’t make all that many appearances in K-12 education. Today, we’re excited to share the fruits of over a year of labor at Desmos Studio: our new 3D Calculator. You’ll be able to submit anytimeĪs you’re thinking about what you’ll create, we wanted to share a few themes to consider this year. Submissions won’t open for another two weeks. This year’s contest begins now! You’re welcome to get started, even though In our quest to make tools worthy of the incredible people who use us around the world. It inspires wild new features and products (see the 3D Calculator)

The connection between math and art and creativity. You can find the graphs at Our Global Math Art Contest is one of the highlights of our year. Choosing just 100 graphs was nearly impossible, but we expect you’ll be as inspired by them as we are.Īs you explore the gallery, be on the lookout for the small details and bits of magic you’ll find scattered throughoutĪrtist statements and notes. We were blown away by the artistry, care, and ingenuity onĭisplay this year. Update February 1, 2024: The gallery is live!
