Konstellate is a magazine of mathematics — long-form, edited, illustrated, and (where it helps) interactive. We started it because we wanted to read it. This is what it is for.
“We wanted a magazine where the figures move, the proofs are honest about where they came from, and the writing earns the math.”
Mathematics has more good writers than any moment in its history, and far more good readers, and yet the publication that sits between the two — long-form, edited, illustrated, addressed to a reader who wants to understand rather than be informed — is in unusually short supply. Quanta is wonderful; AMS Notices is essential. Both leave a gap. Konstellate sits in it.
Each issue collects features, problems, in-the-wild reports, interviews and a few reviews, together with interactive figures the reader can grab, perturb, and break. We are new, and small, and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. We charge nothing to read, and we never will.
Editorial values we apply to every piece. Each one is a small bet about how mathematics is best communicated to people who already love it.
Konstellate is student-run. Everyone here writes and everyone here edits, mostly because there are not enough of us to specialise yet.
