Women in Mathematics Day on May 12
To celebrate Women in Mathematics Day on May 12 the Swinburne Maths Department and Swinburne Women in STEM club invites you to join us for a movie and pizza.
Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani. The story chronicles the pioneering life of Maryam Mirzakhani, first Iranian woman to win the prestigious Fields Medal in mathematics in 2014. Her journey from Iran to the US and impact as a role model for female mathematicians and scientists.
Como actividad del curso de pregrado: Presencia de la Mujer Matemática en la Educación Escolar, se presentará la película francesa: "Je suis Sophie Germain/I am Sophie Germain" (May 12 initiative), Luego las y los estudiantes del curso organizarán un foro de discusión en torno a la película.
Celebra el Día de la Mujer en Matemática junto a la SENACYT. Proyección gratuita de la película "Secrets of the surface: the Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani" (subtitulada en español).
Lugar: SENACYT, Piso 2, Salón Coiba
Hora: 1:00 p.m.
Evento gratuito. Más información al correo electrónico lseptimo@senacyt.gob.pa
The documentaries on Maryam Mirzakhani and Sophie Germain will be shown at the auditorium on May 12th. All students are welcomed...
Women in Mathematics Day Lunch Salon
Through the story of Sophie Germain, participants will explore the contributions of women in mathematics and engage in meaningful discussions.
Join us for a screening of the short movie "Je suis Sophie Germain/I am Sophie Germain" -- just 15(!) minutes -- and if you like, stay for an informal discussion of the movie, the life and work of Sophie Germain, and of women in mathematics then and today.
We hope to see you all on
May 12, 16:15 in lecture hall N14.
Screening of 2 films, short discussion panel about inspirational women in mathematics.
Wednesday the 6th of March at 6:15pm we will be doing a movie night watching “Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani”. In case you didn’t know: Mirzakhani was the first female Fields Medalist. The event will take place in room 2.025 in the Computer Science Institute. There will be drinks at cost price and free popcorn! We will start the movie once everyone has gotten popcorn and drinks.
To celebrate the May 12 Initiative — which marks Maryam Mirzakhani’s birthday and highlights her mathematical contributions — we will screen Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani. The documentary presents her work on Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces, tracing her path from her early years to becoming the first woman to receive the Fields Medal.
