About Us
Our Mission
We are convinced: Mathematics can be fun!
MatheArena pursues the goal of bringing mathematical knowledge closer to students with the help of a smartphone or tablet. In this way, knowledge can be taught in small bites and mathematics can be brought closer to the students. To achieve this goal, we have been working for several years in a team of mathematics professors, initially accompanied by an IT specialist, to create a learning tool that also reaches students who have difficulty with abstract mathematics on paper. For this purpose, we have created an app that uses the multiple-choice format – in an entertaining way – to test the knowledge of the learners and expand it in a playful way.
One of our concerns at the meta level is diversity. You can take a look at our Gender Equality Plan (GEP for short) as an example of our implementation:

How The MathArena Was Born
The Idea
The idea of MathArena was born in 2014, when Gerald Infanger started looking for technologies for his mathematics lessons. As it turned out, there wasn’t a single offering for theoretical mathematics in the Google Play Store until then, whereas language learning was already supported in many ways by learning apps.
The Goal
The goal of the app is to offer students a flexible and mobile way of learning. The mathematical questions are therefore designed in such a way that they can be solved without the use of a calculator or pen and paper.
One App – For The Classroom And On The Go
The MathArena app offers the attractive possibility of facilitating waiting times at the bus stop or long stays in the train compartment for the acquisition of knowledge on the one hand, and on the other hand to support e-learning in a versatile way as a supplement to lessons and tutoring.
