AUMS, WISTEMS and the School of Mathematical Sciences have collaborated for a panel and afternoon tea in celebration of International Women in Mathematics Day on the 12th of May (Thursday week 9)!

In celebration of International Women in Math Day, the Women in Math (WIM) Committee presents Picnic & Paint. The event offers an opportunity for the Faculty of Mathematics community at the University of Waterloo to gather together to socialize, engage in meaningful discussion, and celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in the field of mathematics.

Lo sguardo di Mirzakhani. Matematica e fumetti: idee, stili, visioni

L'Unione Matematica Italiana in collaborazione con Università dell'Aquila e Gran Sasso Science Institute, è lieta di annunciare "Lo sguardo di Mirzakhani. Matematica e fumetti: idee, stili, visioni", presentazione del volume "The Mirzakhani Issue", pubblicato da Comics&Science-CNR  (https://www.comicsandscience.it/).

Keynote speech by Allyn Jackson: "Look Back in Admiration: Some Women Mathematicians of the 20th Century"

afterwards: panel discussion on "Women in science: What has changed? What still needs to change?"

evening: screening of the movie "Hidden Figures"

El Departamento de Matemática, ModeMat, Clavemat, la Asociación de Estudiantes Matemática y Matemática Aplicada de la #EPN, la Comisión de Género de la SEdeM y la Red Ecuatoriana de Mujeres Científicas REMCI, te invitan a unirte a la conmemoración del Día Internaci

The 2º Encontro Brasileiro de Mulheres Matemáticas be held in Belém, a satellite event of the X Bienal de Matemática, with the possibility of hosting in person up to 200 people and broadcast on YouTube channels.

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.

The Department of Mathematics of the TU Darmstadt organizes an event

"In honor of Maryam Mirzakhani - Women in Mathematics"

in person on May 5 with a panel discussion with female mathematicians from different career stages on the topic

Perspektiven von Frauen in und aus der Mathematik 

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. 

This is part of the activities of the Project POTIMATICAS, where the high school students should elaborate videos of two sorts: (1) short videos with interesting mathematical problems; and (2) longer videos bringing the life and achievements of female Mathematicians.
