Abel’s Sketchbook” presents basic phenomena within science, technology and mathematics. Art and science are complementary tools in our human quest for understanding the world, for understanding ourselves and society at large. Our main objective is to enhance interest in technology, science and mathematics as a vehicle for social awareness and involvement. |
“The project is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel, acclaimed by scientists throughout the world. You will meet him when you enter Vitenfabrikken and he will be your companion throughout the exhibition. The 2008 winner of the internationally renowned Abel Prize, John Griggs Thompson, opened the project.
