Dynamic Women - Celebrating Women in Math and MinutMina

The event Dynamic Women - Celebrating Women in Math is a group that promotes activities to make visible and support women in mathematics. Among this year's activities, we will have lectures, discussions, a research presentation dispute and a larger event, Celebrating Women in Mathematics. The latter will take place in July 2025. 

The MinutMina is a Tournament where female students make a research presentation in 3 Minutes. The best one win. The word "Mina" is a Brazilian Portuguese slang term that means girl.

Celebrating women in math @UniCA

On the occasion of the International Day of Women in Mathematics, the "Corso di Studi in Matematica" of the University of Cagliari, in collaboration with "PLS-Matematica", proposes an afternoon for May 12, 2025 entirely dedicated to female mathematicians. The event is mainly addressed at students and colleagues of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science but is obviously open to anyone interested. The programme includes a seminar by Prof.

Women in Mathematics Morning Tea

The UWA Mathematics Union is excited to be hosting a Women in Mathematics Morning Tea on May 12th. 

It can often be challenging for women in mathematics, physics, computing, and related fields to find each other in these male-dominated areas. This event provides a relaxed and inclusive environment to meet, connect, and share experiences with others on similar academic paths. Whether you're just starting your degree or well into your studies, come along for some morning tea and good conversation, we’d love to see you there!

When: 12th May, 10:00am -11:00am

Mathematics Festival Mathfest

For the first time we organise in Utrecht the mathematics festival Mathfest. We offer a program consisting of various activities for all ages! We have chosen Sunday May 11 as the date for the festival because we want to celebrate both Mother’s Day and May 12. For the closing of the festival students from the University of Amsterdam will give two talks about the work of Maryna Viazovska and Maryam Mirzakhani!

Brigitte Cordier : la première thèse de 3e cycle de mathématique à Rennes il y a juste 60 ans/Brigitte Cordier: The first graduate thesis in mathematics in Rennes exactly 60 years ago

La première thèse de 3e cycle de mathématique à Rennes a été soutenue le 6 mai 1965, il y a juste 60 ans, par une femme, Brigitte Cordier (future Brigitte Cordier-Escofier ou Brigitte Escofier). C’est une thèse importante. Dirigée par Jean-Paul Benzécri, elle établit les résultats de base de la méthode d’Analyse des données appelée Analyse factorielle des correspondances. Elle est au départ de ce qu’on a appelé l'Ecole française d'analyse des données. La diffusion de la thèse a été exceptionnelle : plusieurs milliers d’exemplaires.
