Interactive mathematics for conjecturing with your hands.
An interactive is not an illustration after the mathematics. It is a place where the mathematics can begin: move something, watch a constraint, and ask what remains possible.
LIVE LAB · TILINGS AND INVARIANTS
The Kolam Tile Laboratory
Build a closed connected kolam from sixteen binary tiles, investigate legal moves in a 15-puzzle, and try to navigate between configurations in the same orbit.

A rhythm for exploration
Play
Begin without instructions beyond the goal. Let the constraints become visible through failed and successful moves.
Understand
Name the patterns you notice, translate them into mathematical statements, and decide what would count as evidence.
Teach
Use the same object as a classroom investigation, with prompts that preserve room for student decisions.
More journeys are being prepared
Future laboratories will grow from geometry, algebra, number theory and mathematical games. Math Nomad will favour a small collection of carefully developed interactives over a long catalogue of disconnected demonstrations.
