Women in Mathematics Day

“Women in Mathematics Day” is observed annually on May 12th to mark the anniversary of the eminent lady Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani’s birth. She was a Mathematician from Iran and a Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University. She was one of the world’s leading experts in geometry and dynamical systems. In 2014, she was awarded the Fields Medal for her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces, being the first woman to be recognized for her achievements in mathematics by this prestigious mathematical prize.

Matemática x Matemáticas

El 12 de mayo celebramos el Día Internacional de las Mujeres en Matemática, en honor al nacimiento de Maryam Mirzakhani, primera mujer (hasta el momento han sido sólo dos, la segunda fue Maryna Viazovska en 2022), en recibir la Medalla Fields en 2014, por “sus contribuciones excepcionales a la dinámica y geometría de las superficies de Riemann y sus espacios móduli”.

Gioca in serie - Play with series

Institute classes, from pre-primary school to secondary school, are invited to celebrate Women in Mathematics with mathematic games. All classes or group of kids have to invent a logical series with numbers, words, shapes or something else and porpose it to other classes. Series will be collected in a dedicated Microsoft teams "Donne matematiche " and shown on school website.

OMC 9th Annual Research Forum- Algebra, Geometry and Their Applications

In the event of celebration of Women in Mathematics Day, Oman Mathematics Committee in Collaboration with the department of Mathematics at Sultan Qaboos University is planning to hold a workshop in Algebra and Geometry on May 11th, 2023.  About half of the lecturers are women in mathematics. The objective of this workshop is to gather local and international researchers in Algebra and Geometry and to give them the opportunity to collaborate and exchange research ideas. The participants of the workshop will include researchers and PhD students from the Sultanate of Oman and beyond.

1st WMSC Workshop: Portraits of Women Mathematical Sciences in Cyprus

We are delighted to invite you to the 1st WMSC Workshop: Portraits of Women in Mathematical Sciences in Cyprus  (program attached) organised by the newly founded Women in Mathematical Sciences in Cyprus (WMSC) network, hosted at the Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING) on May, 12th 2023. This workshop joins several international celebrations of the Women in Mathematics International Day as part of the May12: Celebrating Women in Mathematics initiative.

GEM - Girls Exploring Math

The high school girls who are participating in a GEM (Girls Exploring Math) event go to the university to spend a day learning about mathematics and discussing the issue of gender representation in scientific fields. They interact with professional mathematicians, discover unexpected aspects of the discipline, and break down the stereotypes that link gender and STEM.

For this edition, we have reached the record number of 230 participants.
