Beautiful Equations

Kids puzzles with physics formulas. Good for 3-4 years old.

- 4 free levels: classical mechanics (green room), Maxwell equations (blue room), relativistic theory (yellow room) & quantum physics (black room)

- equations are double-checked (done by a group of physicists from Intstitute for Theoretical Physics)

The Story: That happens often that kids exposed to something get easily hooked with the internal beauty of the thing. Physics and mathematics are not popular also because people think its complicated and involves a lot of math. To attract future generations we need not to remove math but to expose them to it early enough. Let them see, play and enjoy the shape of mathematical formulas. We made these puzzles with believe that if the kid play with it now, in 10-15 years he/she will recognize it again and say “come on, this one is really beautiful” (and we don’t mean any top-model but the time-dependent Shroedinger equation :-).

“ (...) A large number of areas of the brain are involved when viewing equations, but when one looks at a formula rated as beautiful it activates the emotional brain - the medial orbito-frontal cortex - like looking at a great painting or listening to a piece of music." - prof. Semir Zeki http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26151062 (Mathematics: Why the brain sees maths as beauty)

Quotes:

“"Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity." - Albert Einstein

“I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and simple.” - Albert Einstein

"It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment" - Paul Dirac

“The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s, must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.”

- G. H. Hardy
