Mathematik ist überall

Norbert Herrmann’s educational work makes mathematics accessible by showing how it appears in ordinary experiences. Under the theme “Mathematics is everywhere,” he encourages readers to approach the subject with curiosity and experimentation rather than seeing it as a collection of dry formulas. Everyday examples include cutting bread, parking a car, playing the lottery or golf, and searching for Easter eggs.

The site also presents mathematical problems and activities designed to make ideas tangible and enjoyable. One example uses a magic square—a grid in which the sums of the numbers in every row, column, and diagonal are equal—to generate lottery numbers through a playful dart-throwing exercise. Visitors can explore material about mathematics in daily life, find biographical information, and access press images and text for journalists.

Herrmann also offers books for purchase and invites visitors to get in touch. The brand’s focus is public engagement with mathematics, combining explanation, practical examples, and interactive activities to help a broad audience discover mathematical thinking in familiar situations
