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

L'association sénégalaise des femmes en maths du Sénégal (SWMA) célèbrent la journée internationale des femmes en maths, le 11 Mai 2024.
En effet, cette journée du 12 mai a été créée en l’honneur de l’anniversaire de la naissance de Maryam Mirzakhani, éminente mathématicienne iranienne qui a obtenu la Médaille Fields en 2014. Aujourd’hui elle est la première à avoir bénéficié d’une telle récompense. Suite à son décès le 14 juillet 2017 à l’âge de 40 ans, une initiative de célébrer les femmes dans le domaine mathématiques a vu le jour.
