Kvinner i matematikk 2022

The event will take place in various institutions around Norway where people will turn up. Zoom will link us together, and there will also be the possibility of participating solely on zoom.

There will be two talks, an interview with some of the girls participating in the Abel final (national maths competition), and watching of the film "Women in science in Africa - A silent revolution" with a discussion afterwards.

More info and practical details (in Norwegian) are found on the webpage wimn.no.

"Maryam, billiards and the magic wand", lecture given by Prof. Dr. Corinna Ulcigrai

Lecture given by Prof. Dr. Corinna Ulcigrai

Abstract:
Why mathematicians 'play' billiards? What do billiards and magic wands have to do with Maryam Mirzakhani, the first - and up to now the only - female mathematician who has been awarded the Fields medal (often known as the 'Nobel Prize' of mathematics)? In this talk, accessible to all Bachelor students, we will answer these questions and offer a glimpse of the beautiful mathematical work of Mirzakhani.

Deakin University - Women in Mathematics Day 2022

The School of Information Technology at Deakin University is running an event to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women everywhere who are active in the field of Mathematics. This is in honour of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian mathematician and a Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University who is the first woman to win the Fields medal. 

This is a great opportunity for fellow women in STEM to support each other. We would like to invite women academics who research in maths related fields to attend this event.
