2. In Counting
• Counting various quantities is
one of the activities that
people engage in from young.
However, sometimes we
wonder, just how big is one
million? See how much space
one million saga seeds occupy
and be awed by numbers that
you can relate to in your daily
lives like the number of
heartbeats in a typical
lifetime.

3. In Nature
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... This is the
Fibonacci Sequence , where each
number is derived from adding the
previous two numbers. This
sequence of numbers can be found
in many natural patterns like in
pineapples, sunflowers, nautilus and
pine cones.
• Our eyes are usually drawn to objects that are symmetrical.
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man is often used as a
representation of symmetry in the human body. The Soothing
Symmetries exhibit anchors this section and explains what
symmetry means to science and in mathematics, as well as in
everyday life.

4. In Shapes, Curves &
Patterns
• Circles, squares
and triangles are just a
few of the shapes that are
familiar to us through our
daily lives. Discover the
usefulness, beauty and
'cleanness' of the round
shape, and learn more
about the other shapes
that can be found around
us.
• This section also features
the Möbius strip that has
several curious
properties.

5. In Games & Puzzles
• Many, if not all puzzles and
games require mathematical
logic and deduction. This
section uses the fun and
excitement of various
popular games and
puzzles, and the
exhilaration of solving
them, to attract and engage
the visitors to realise the
mathematics in fun and
games

6. In Time & The Heavens
Mathematics was developed to
understand the cycles of nature as
observed in the seasons. Ancient
people understood the need to
define time in relation to celestial
movements for
agricultural, astronomical, astrolo
gical and navigational reasons.
• This section looks at the mathematics of astronomy, its
relationship to the inventions of various cultural-
historical calendars, and the division of time into units
of hours, minutes and seconds.

7. •Challenges & Controversies
When we talk about
mathematics, equations and
formulas will pop into our mind.
There are hundreds of equations in
mathematics, but which is the
Most ‘Beautiful’ Equation of all?
You are invited to vote for your
favourite.
• What do modern mathematicians actually do? What
problems are of interest today? These are some of
the issues explored in this section. Some outstanding
challenges that remain unresolved are still intriguing
many mathematicians. Discover what some of these
challenges are.

8. In Real Applications
• Mathematic is used in our
everyday lives; from figuring
out the amount needed to buy
your lunch to calculating the
bank’s interest. This section
explores some of the real life
applications of mathematics.
For example, internet banking
is getting more and more
common these days, and we
depend on cryptology – the
study of protecting information
using codes – to keep our
transactions safe. Learn more
about how it is done in this
section.

9. Awesome,Fearsome
Calculus
• Calculus is the study of
change and it is one of the
most important fields in
mathematics. Isaac Newton
and Gottfried Leibniz are
usually credited with the
invention of calculus.
Newton used calculus in
his laws of motion and
gravitational attraction.
