About M Genius Visualized Mathematical App
M Genius is a mobile and desktop application that visualizes mathematical functions for young students. The interface has four areas: Point, Curve, Weave and Result. Users select an equation from the categories or enter an equation directly. The shape of the curve changes when the parameters X, Y, N and Z are adjusted, and the result is shown on the screen. The parametric shapes can also be produced with a 3D printer in ABS material. M Genius turns abstract symbols into visible forms to make the study of mathematics clearer and more engaging.

- Production Technology
- In the perspective of method, this design adopts the positive design method to think about how to improve students' pleasure in learning mathematics through the design thinking. The author selects the parametric method to visualize the abstract function.
In the perspective of technology, this design is an Internet app, which used Java and XML for programming, Adobe Illustrator for visual interface design, Figma for interaction design, and 3D printer for function visualization of ABS material etc.
This work realizes the interaction with students through the pad, computer and mobile phone. - Design Challenge
- 1. Build a parameterized interaction design guided by users' positive experience;
2. Built-in system construction, program operation vulnerabilities need to be constantly improved;
3. The user experience of the interface needs to be constantly optimized.
4. How much the final works improving the positive experience of users? - Research
- Background: Learning mathematics is a big challenge for some young students all over the world. Methods:1. Based on the general parametric design process and the positive experience design, a parametric product design hypothesis model based on positive experience is proposed. 2. On the basis of the design method model, the design practice is developed. Result: A visualized mathematical function application has been designed. Impacts:We put out a new way for students, through the interaction and application of mathematical functions and images, the interest and efficiency of participants in learning mathematical knowledge can be improved.
- Inspiration
- Learning mathematics is a big challenge for some young students all over the world.
why?
1. Math symbols are boring! 2. Be confused by the logic!
Why not change students' cognition through design to make it easy for them to learn mathematics. - Project Duration
- The project started in March 2020 in Shanghai and finished in December 2020 in Shanghai, and was exhibited in Shanghai in January 2021.
- Operation Flow
- 1. This is an APP that can learn functions by adjusting function unknowns and controlling function image changes.
2. There are four areas of categories on the interface: Point, Curve, Weave, and Result.
3. Two approaches: (a) selecting the equation in the categories, (b) entering the equation by yourself.
4. The shapes of functional curve are changed via entering the parameters of X, Y, N, and Z in the equation. Then, the final shape will be shown on the screen.
5. After you enter or select the different parameters and equations, you will get amazing parametrized shapes, and then it can be printed by 3D printer. - Patents
