Repositories

Catalogue of physical objects from the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

A collection of historical mathematical models located at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. It includes about 540 exhibits spanning from the 18th to the 21st century and covers all areas of mathematics. The collection also contains more than 60 mathematical instruments.

Access to the model collection in Göttingen is free and is part of the public space of the Mathematical Institute, Bunsenstrasse 3-5, 37073 Göttingen, and may be visited by anyone within the opening hours of the institute.

Complexity Explorables

A collection of interactive illustrations of complex systems and complex dynamical processes. All illustrations include explanations of the underlying systems and of the illustration, sometimes including references. Code for selected illustrations is available in a GitHub repository. The website states they are open to corrections and ideas by email, but no other way to contribute.

House of Graphs

Searchable database of “interesting” graphs, where here a graph is interesting if one of the (registered) users of the website decides so. It also aims to serve as a central repository for complete lists of graphs (which can be downloaded in several formats) of various graph classes and the generators that can be used to generate these graphs. Registered users can add new graphs.

IHP "Physical Objects" Collection

The Institut Henry Poincaré owns a collection of around 600 physical models, representing objects from various mathematical areas. Some of these objects are visible at the IHP Library (free to visit during opening hours) and at the Maison Poincaré Museum (part of the permanent exhibition), both in Paris. It contains sculptures, 3D-printed objects, knitting, etc. The list is available here.

IMAGINARY Galleries Section

Contains a gallery of illustrations of mathematical concepts ranging through all areas of mathematics, a catalogue of math related exhibitions as well as films, 3D printable files, and other medias.

Maths pictures contain a mathematical description of their content. Authors also have the possibility to include the necessary files to reproduce them – be it high resolution pictures, equations behind them or source files for visualization programs.

Mathematical Research Data Repository

A repository of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, dedicated to mathematical research data, namely all digital objects that arise during the process of doing research or are a result thereof. It is open to contributions with some restrictions: publications are only possible for scientists of the MPI MiS and their collaborators.
