The theme selected for the 2027 International Day of Mathematics is ”Mathematics, AI and Our Future”.
It explores mathematics as the foundation of artificial intelligence and how mathematical ideas shape one of today’s most transformative technologies.

ALT "Mathematics, AI and Our Future". The space around these words is filled by colorful tree structures.
The theme for the 2026 IDM is ”Mathematics and Hope”.
Connecting hope and mathematics creates opportunities for deeper insight and knowledge. Mathematics gives us hope to understand reality and truth clearly, learn cooperation, find win-win strategies, and more.
To celebrate the 2025 IDM we invited you to participate in our Math You Can Touch Challenge, by using your artistry and creativity to construct mathematical sculptures from everyday physical objects.
The gallery is now live in our website!
