Movie projection

We will be screening the film 'The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani' from 6:30.

In commemoration of the International Day of Women in Mathematics, we are organizing a screening of the movies "Kovalevskaia’s Spinning Top"  and "Alicia Boole in the Land of Polytopes". The screening will be held at Novosibirsk State University on May 18, 2024. 

We will be showing

Alicia Boole in the land of polytopes

Kovalevskaia’s spinning top

2.15pm in MR2

preceded by tea, cake and coffee in the Central Core from 1.45pm.

All Y7&8 students will be watching the movie "Hidden Figures" and then have a discussion about why it is important that everyone's contributions can be important and to encourage an open, welcoming and inclusive work environment for everybody. 

Let’s celebrate together the International Women in Mathematics Day!

• When: 17 May 2024, 17:30 hs.

• Where: Sky Lounge @ Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090, Vienna.

• What do we offer: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Movie screening: We will be screening the movie “Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani".

The Discipline of Mathematics and the UWI Math Club celebrate Women in Mathematics on Monday, 13^th May.

Part of the celebration will be a public screening of the short documentaries "Journeys of Women in Mathematics", "Alicia Boole in the land of polytopes" and "Kovalevskaya' Spinning Top" on May 13 at 15:00 pm in the BCS Demonstration Room.

La actividad que haremos es pasar dos documentales animados:

"Alicia Boole en la tierra de los politopos"  y "El trompo de Kovaleskaya" de Denis Van Waerebeke en cooperación con Olga Paris-Romaskevich.

Picture a Scientist started from exploring reports in the late 1990s that exposed significant gender inequity across the sciences. As we dug into the data and spoke with dozens of scientists, we realized the vast extent of the challenges facing women and minority scientists. Despite groundbreaking efforts by the courageous scientists featured in the film and elsewhere, systemic gender bias and racism persist.

We celebrate May12 with a screening of the documentary „Secrets of the Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani“ at the Freie Universität Berlin. Popcorn, beer and pretzels are for free! 

On May 28 at 5 pm CEST, there will be a screening of "Alicia Boole in the land of polytopes" and "Kovalevskaya' Spinning Top" for female Master and PhD students in mathematics at the Bonn Math Center, Lipschitzsaal. After the screening, we will discuss with the students at an informal get-together.
