Conference

Speaker: Ann Dooms, professor at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) Department Wiskunde & Data Science (WIDS)

Continuing the tradition of celebrating the 'May12 Celebration of Women in Mathematics" at the Institute for Mathematics of the University of Zurich with a talk on the life and work of a women mathematician, we are please to announce this year a talk on Sophie Germain in occasion the 250th anniversary of her birth. 

To celebrate the International Day of Women in Mathematics,
MaddMaths! and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pisa
are organizing a training afternoon for primary school teachers
on the topic of gender issues in mathematics.

The conference is organized by the interuniversity research center established between the University of Brescia and the Catholic University. The lecture, delivered by Professor Fabio Luterotti and introduced by the center’s director, Professor Anita Pasotti, is dedicated to the figure of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, one of the greatest mathematicians in history. The event will take place at the Municipal Library of Concesio.

Colóquio do IME exists since 2019 and organizes monthly one-hour talks by established mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists at the University of São Paulo, in Brazil. For this May 12, we have invited Marilaine Colnago (Unesp) to give a talk on mitigation strategies for AI bias.

Che GENERE di scienza?
Stereotypes, Bias, and the Social Dimension of Research

The “May12 Celebrating Women in Mathematics” initiative, now in its eighth edition, is a joyful occasion for the international mathematical community to celebrate women in mathematics: a global event dedicated to recognizing the contributions of women mathematicians and to creating spaces for participation and action addressing the structural inequalities that have shaped—and still shape—the world of scientific research.

„The Density of Chance. Remarks on
Maryam Mirzakhani‘s life and work.“

This talk introduces the life and work of Maryam
Mirzakhani. After a brief biographical sketch, it explores
key aspects of her mathematics and shows how her
ideas transformed the field, including the celebrated
“Magic Wand Theorem” of Eskin and Mirzakhani.

El objetivo de este Quinto Encuentro es reunir a mujeres matemáticas de diferentes partes del mundo con la comunidad académica de nuestra Institución, con docentes y estudiantes de educación media superior de la región Mixteca, para intercambiar experiencias de vida, divulgar, promover y reconocer el trabajo y quehacer de las mujeres matemáticas; con lo cual se pretende motivar e inspirar a estudiantes y docentes que día a día trabajan fuertemente para contribuir al desarrollo de esta ciencia; además, invitar a conocer las bondades que brindan el estudio de las matemática, y así, generar un

This event consists on 6 minitalks about some relevant aspect of the mathematical research carried out by women, well known by their contributions. On this occasion we will have the pleasure of listening to the following speakers:

Maite Benavent (UCM), sobre trabajos de IRENE K. FISCHER: «El Mundo en una Sola Pieza»: De la determinación de la Figura de la Tierra a la unificación del Datum Global.    

Jorge Jiménez Urroz (UPM), about the works by KAISA MATOMAKI: Kaisa y la distribución de los números primos.

This year marks the 53rd anniversary of the Mathematical Society of the Philippines, the nation’s leading professional organization dedicated to advancing mathematics and mathematics education. We are delighted to hold our annual convention in Lingayen, Pangasinan—the historic provincial capital—at the Golden Lion Hotel of Pangasinan State University.
