Mathematics is Everywhere Worldwide Video
As part of the 2020 celebration of the International Day of the Mathematics we asked you to create short clips showing us how "Mathematics is Everywhere" with examples from your daily life, your activity, your hobbies, your passions or your town.
This is the video we put together from some of the best submissions, which premiered on the live global launch on March 14, 2020.
Our call was responded with a huge number of very creative and wonderful submissions and we couldn't manage to fit them all. Soon we'll publish even more of the videos we received. Meanwhile, here's a sampling of some of them.
