Department of Mathematics at BML Munjal University, Gurugram is organizing a special dialogue to honour Maryam Mirzakhani and Indian Women in Mathematics. The session will be followed by interaction with the participants.
The purpose of this event is to motivate women to recognize and commemorate their successes in the field of mathematics.
On the occasion of International Women in Mathematics Day, which is celebrated in honour of Filed Medallist, Maryam Mirzakhani, we have invited Prof Geetha Venkataraman to deliver an online session for faculty and Ph D scholars, to speak about the life of Prof. Maryam as well as the contribution of Indian women in Mathematics.
May 12 is the birthday of Maryam Mirzhakani, the first woman to win a Field's Medal in 2014. In this talk we will briefly reminisce about Maryam's life and work before looking at the ubiquity and usefulness of mathematics through some of its applications.
The even is to mark May 12 as the International Day of Women in Mathematics.
There will be a panelist discussion for one hour.
Reactions and questions would be entertained after the discussion.
The programme will take place from 9:00GMT - 11:00GMT.
Participants are expected from all over the world most especially from Africa.
At our online event, women mathematicians will talk about famous women mathematicians of the past and present. Was Hypatia really the first female mathematician, or did it all start much earlier? Who are Eniac girls? And which female mathematician did Albert Einstein especially praise? You can learn about all this at our event.
The conference will be held online via Zoom.

Em alusão ao Dia Internacional da Mulher na Matemática (12 de maio) realizaremos uma Roda de Conversa com as Professoras do Departamento de Matemática da UFRPE: Lorena Freitas, Maité Kulesza e Michele Novais. Nesta Roda de Conversa trataremos da questão da sub-representatividade feminina nos espaços acadêmicos, sob a perspectiva dos textos, de autoria dessas professoras, publicados no Jornal no ano passado.
Time : 16 H to 17 H 30 CEST, 17 H to 18 H 30 EEST.
This will be an informal event - we'll break into groups to talk to each other. Bring coffee or beverage of your choice. You can drop in at any time for a short period of time.
We'll have breakout rooms to discuss the Olga Ladyzhenskaya movie, as well as for general discussion.
The aim of this workshop is to increase the visibility of the female members of the GF (Generalized Functions) community and to facilitate scientific collaboration and networking within this group. We would like to encourage female mathematicians in the early stage of their scientific career to participate and present their first results, but the event is not restricted only to female mathematicians.
This year, the May 12 event at the University of Lethbridge is centered around celebrating and supporting resilient mathematicians: due to their gender or the unrest in their country of origin, many mathematicians face challenges and this can impact their work. For instance, the past year has been most challenging for Ukranian and Iranian women, especially students.
