12th May, Celebrating women in Mathematics

We are hosting two talks and a movie screening as part of our celebration. The first talk is titled "Women in Mathematics through the Years," presented by Mythili Ramaswamy from ICTS-TIFR, Bangalore. The second talk, "Studying geometry through invariants," will be presented by Charanya Ravi from ISI Bangalore. We will also be screening the movie "Picture a Scientist," a documentary in which leading women scientists discuss the inequalities they've faced as they set out to create a new formula to make STEM open to all.

Celebrating Women in Mathematics

We will unveil Women in Mathematics posters in English, isiXhosa and Afrikaans in the Mathematics Division of Stellenbosch University. The posters are a tribute to the role of women in the history of mathematics and are part of the worldwide project developed and coordinated by Ms. Silvy Hendriks, Dr. Houry Melkonian, and Prof. Maria Vlasiou. Additional contributions were made by Dr. Tom Ritchie and the following students of the University of Exeter: Amber Ellis, Sophia Jaffer, Anila Navaratnam, and Sophie Peel.
