Resumen:

Mathematics Symposium on Celebrating International Women in Mathematics Day

On Sunday, May 12, 2024, the mathematics department of Harish-Chandra Research Institute, India will host an event to celebrate International Women in Mathematics Day.

The 2024 Celebrating Women in Mathematics in Indonesia is intended to commemorate Prof. Maryam Mirzakhani. We plan our activities with a webinar on the theme of Combinatorics and Applied Statistics. This topic is presented to develop the study of Matrix Dimensional Combinatorics and Applied Statistics, especially the study of the Spatial Autoregressive Exogenous model with the Casetti Approach using the RShiny web application based on Statistics, Mathematical Modelling and Computation.

The aim of the event is to honor and celebrate the life and work of  Maryam Mirzakhani.

In this event, we celebrate Professor Maryam Mirzakhani’s birthday as “Women in Mathematics Day”.

This is an online event organized by Women’s Committee of the Iranian Mathematical Society.

The event schedule is as follows:

16:00-16:05: Opening ceremony

Presentation of Women in Mathematics virtually to those at the College

Our Event is set to happen in Hybrid mode, with participants joining both online and in person on IISER Tirupati campus.


1. Panel Discussion (Online) 

Topic - "Math for All: Bridging the Gap Between Abstract Theory and Undergraduate Curiosity"

Time: 4:00pm to 5:30pm

Women are underrepresented in high-level positions, in any hierarchical organization. Although, at least in the so called developed countries, equal rights are granted to men and women, still the gender gap exists. The global gender gap is 69%, with no country at 100%. Several countries experience small improvements, year-on-year, but in one third of the countries the national index does not improve or worsens.

'Mentoring the next generation' is a project run by female lecturers in the department of mathematics education in the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana. We provide mentorship for students more specifically female students to motivate them in pursuing mathematics related courses. Again we provide teachers training workshop for teachers on pedagogical strategies tailored to meet the needs of students in our context and all other issues pertaining to the teaching and learning of mathematics
