It is not easy for many young people to learn mathematical functions and other complicated knowledge. M-Genius is a visual math function application designed for young students. The applet adopts parametric design, visualizes the results of mathematical formulas, and generates printable 3D visual graphics. It is easier for students to understand mathematical functions through adjusting mathematical parameters. This design improves students' interest in learning mathematics by gamifying the learning process, and provides young people with a set of interesting methods of acquiring knowledge through information technology.
K-DESIGN AWARD is a world-class design award of Korea. It abandons the practice of focusing only on the simplicity and complexity of the shape, and strives to empower products through excellent design and create real value.
