The way folks have used “ Audio trace” to make music is a great example. So often, our new capabilities are inspired by the incredible creativity of our community. Think about using folders to organize, lists and functions to simplify, comments to explain. The dream is that someone could open your graph and learn some math, or a new Desmos technique, from it. This year we’re seeking graphs that are as “approachable” as you can make them. So if you have an idea that’s too slow this year, hopefully it won’t be for long.

Remember that every year our tools get faster, computers get faster, and your techniques get more powerful. This year we’re going to pay extra attention to the speed of your graph, especially in the 3D calculator (since it’s brand new, and not yet as fast as it will eventually be!). We’ll be picking 25 graphs to feature in each age group, at least 5 of which will come from first-time participants. We know that the gallery can be intimidating for folks who have never participated, so this year we’re expanding our galleries. We want to welcome first time participants Over the last year, we launched our new Desmos Geometry and 3D tools, and this year you can submit up to one graph from each of the tools ( Graphing, Geometry, and 3D). You’ll be able to submit anytime between December 1st and January 15th.Īs you’re thinking about what you’ll create, we wanted to share a few themes to consider this year. This year’s contest begins now! You’re welcome to get started, even though submissions won’t open for another two weeks. And it inspires wild new features and products (see the 3D Calculator) in our quest to make tools worthy of the incredible people who use us around the world. It reinforces 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. As you explore the gallery, be on the lookout for the small details and bits of magic you’ll find scattered throughout artist statements and notes.

Choosing just 100 graphs was nearly impossible, but we expect you’ll be as inspired by them as we are. We were blown away by the artistry, care, and ingenuity on display this year. The gallery is live! Thank you to everyone who participated.
