Movie projection

We will hold a journey of talks by female mathematicians. The aim is for speakers to be from a variety of levels/career stages, and has fostered engagement by inviting guest speakers and strengthened the relationship between students and professors by facilitating discussions on mathematics and STEAM approach, and inspiring academic growth. Talks will be primarily research oriented, but accessible to undergraduates, and with an emphasis on why the person chose to study maths and/or pursue a career in maths,  and what motivates them about their research.

We will watch the movie "Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani" together with students and colleagues from our university. Afterwards, there will be panel discussions on being a mathematician in academia and industry, accompanied by coffee and cakes.

On May 12th, the international mathematics community celebrates Women in Mathematics Day. This date also marks the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian mathematician and the first woman to receive the Fields Medal, the highest honour in mathematics.

Film screening and a panel discussion for students and employees at the Department of Mathematics. Coffee and cakes are served at the start.

We'll have a happy hour at de zwarte doos from 17:00-18:30. The screening will run from 18:30-19:30 in de zwarte doos filmhuis.

Department of Mathematics, K.A.H.M UNITY WOMEN'S COLLEGE is a college especially for girls with minority status, where more than 90% students are from backward minority communities. The college was established in 1991 and Mathematics Department was incepted in 2014. Now our depafrtment have contributed significantly to uphold the girls students in this backward region.

The Department of Mathematics at VNIT Nagpur is organizing a half-day symposium to celebrate "Women in Mathematics" in honor of the first woman Fields Medalist, Maryam Mirzakhani. On this occasion, we will be screening a documentary followed by a talk by Prof. R. Radha from the University of Hyderabad.
