Public Event: International Women in Maths Day!

Title: Rewards for relating the unrelated: knots, graphs, and algebra

Abstract: 

What does the mathematics of knots have to do with the mathematics of networks?

Knots are everywhere: in the strings of our DNA, in the structure of super-strong

materials, and in mathematics, where knots lurk behind all three-dimensional

shapes. Graphs model social networks, transit maps, neural nets, and are one of

We celebrate the international day for Women in Mathematics (May 12) with the event "Celebrating Women in Mathematics" on May 3rd.

The U. of Waterloo Faculty of Mathematics's International Women in Mathematics Day Colloquium is an annual event that recognizes and celebrates women's achievements in mathematics. The 2024 speaker is Wen-Ching Winnie Li from Penn State University. She is one of the legends on the AWM board. Below are her talk details

Title: The Ramanujan Conjecture: from theory to applications

We are thrilled to invite you to participate in the celebration and showcasing of African Women in Mathematics. The title of the project is Celebrating African Women in Mathematics and will be held on the 12^th of May 2024, a day set aside by women globally to celebrate Women in Mathematics.

The Panamanian Foundation for the Promotion of Mathematics (FUNDAPROMAT) will be celebrating the International Day for Women in Mathematics 2024 with our invited speaker Allison Henrich, who will be presenting on "Magic, Knots and Mathematics" in the Marriott Panama Hotel in Albrook Mall on Friday, May 10th, 2024 from 11 am until 12 pm. This in-person event is free and is open to the general public, which means that kids and adults of all ages are welcome to attend.

Students from the European Section have designed posters for the French Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) program, which will be showcased in the hallways.

The event consists of a mathematical treasure hunt proposed by the "Diamo i numeri" association (https://diamo-i-numeri.it/) within the project "Stem in Genere"  of the University of Brescia (https://www.stemingenere.chirone.eu/). The treasure hunt is open to children (from 7 years old and adults). Each team can be made up of a maximum of 5 people, at least one of whom is an adult.

The 4º Encontro Mulheres Matemáticas do Impa is organized by the students of IMPA with the aim of start a conversation about the academic life for women.

The event is open to worldwide participation including undergratuated students. Registrations will open soon and it's free of charge.

"Oggi mi sveglio creativa!" is an event tailored for secondary school students, in which cartoonist Alice Milani will walk them through the process of creating a comic strip. How do you draw, but first of all how do you read a comic strip? Reading sense, grid, balloons, framing, dialogue and captions. All of these elements contribute to creating a useful set of images and text to tell a longer or shorter time sequence.
