The \u201cInvolution&nbsp;and Revolution\u201d games are board games created by Bruno Teheux and Hugo Parlier. The Quadratis games, created by Hugo Parlier together with colleagues from Switzerland (see quadratis.app), are a type of slider puzzle to be played on a phone or a tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole experience was designed by Prof. <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/recherche\/fstm\/dmath\/people\/hugo_parlier\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Hugo Parlier<\/a> and Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/recherche\/fstm\/dmath\/people\/bruno_teheux\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruno Teheux<\/a> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/recherche\/fstm\/dmath\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Mathematics<\/a> of the University of Luxembourg and is an invitation to explore the nature of mathematical research. It also built on the recently inaugurated Exploratis station at the Science Center in Differdange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students and faculty members of the Science Department of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorbonne.ae\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi<\/a> contributed to mediate the activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The games workshops were very successful and visitors of all ages were queuing up for a try. The World Expo news TV network approached Prof. Hugo Parlier for a live interview at the TV studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked why the workshops attracted such a huge audience, Prof. Parlier admitted he was himself surprised by this unanimous enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsually I work with 20-year old students and now I have 5-year old [children] grabbing my leg and saying \u201cI want to play more games!\u201d\u201d, Prof. Parlier told the interviewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Hugo Parlier demonstrated, live on TV, the two mathematical activities and showed how scientific knowledge is applied to games and fun activities, describing them as \u201cbrain-teasers for all ages\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMath is really all about creativity\u2026. Math is more of an art than a science\u2026 This is what we really try to highlight, and the gaming experience is really important because when you play a game, just play a game for fun but at the same time you are learning and training your brain, and you are perceiving math in a different light\u2026\u201d, Prof. Parlier emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch the video (the interview with Prof. Hugo Parlier starts at&nbsp;42:25)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information on <a href=\"https:\/\/math.uni.lu\/outreach\/dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThe simplicity of Complexity\u201d project presentation at the 2020 Dubai World Expo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Luxembourg\u2019s project \u201cthe simplicity of complexity\u00a0\u00bb, initiated by the University\u2019s Department of Mathematics, was featured at the Luxembourg\u2019s Pavilion at the Dubai World Expo, from 12 to 17 December 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[4,3],"news-topic":[20],"organisation":[61,25,226],"authorship":[51,52],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
