About us
This is MathArena
Welcome to MathArena, the innovative learning app that makes math digitally accessible and fun for students of all ages. Whether for students looking for a way to successfully learn math, or for teachers looking for engaging digital resources and ways to create digital lessons, MathArena is here to help.
What drives us
Our mission
At MathArena, we believe that math should be more than just a subject that you learn and then tick off and forget. (Math) learning should be an exciting adventure that sparks curiosity and creativity and trains thought processes. That’s why we have developed a mobile app that combines playful learning with adaptable difficulty and allows you to learn math flexibly and at your own pace – anytime, anywhere.


We are MathArena!
The MathArena team
The core team at MathArena currently consists of nine people who contribute their expertise from a wide range of fields:
In addition to focusing on mathematics, didactics and software development as part of the (further) development of our app, we focus on internal and external communication, computational thinking, pedagogically and learning-psychologically valuable AI development and school development.
We share our knowledge and new findings within the team, in our other fields of work and in scientific circles in order to advance the still relatively new field of digital teaching media in the best possible way. The balance between theory and practice or research and development helps us to find the right balance and drive our project forward efficiently.

Since 2013, Gerald has been working in parallel on his vision of educational equality for all.
Since the idea for MathArena, he has invested creativity and idealism in the continuous development of the globally usable math learning app. More than 40,000 organically generated downloads have prompted him to take the step of founding an EdTech company in 2021.
Currently, his main area of interest is the pedagogically relevant and valuable integration of AI in product development and user applications.

Eva-Maria Infanger
Founder
Eva-Maria is the managing director and head of research at MathArena. As a trained teacher of mathematics and theology at secondary level, she is realizing the idea for the learning app “MathArena” in addition to her various fields of work. In her research in the PhD program at the Linz School of Education, she is primarily concerned with “adaptive learning difficulties”.
