14 November: Mathematicians often like to think of maths as objective. On Friday 14th at 12 pm in N4.01, science communicator Hana Ayoob joins us to discuss how the fact that humans do maths means that the ways maths is developed, used, and communicated are not inherently neutral. A Taylors sandwich lunch will be provided, as at all Friday Mathematrix events.
Join Mathematrix on Wednesday November 5th at 2:30 pm in N3.12 for a chill crafts session. We’ll provide some craft materials, or you can bring a current project you are working on. There will be sweet treats and great company.
We are also still actively seeking PhD students to join the Mathematrix Committee. Please email @email if you are interested in helping with Mathematrix now or in future terms.
Come along to Mathematrix events throughout the term to connect with other graduate students and postdocs and to discuss issues affecting underrepresented groups in maths. Allies are always encouraged to attend Mathematrix events.
Our first event of term, as always, is our pizza lunch. Come along to hear more about the Mathematrix events in Michaelmas and meet like-minded people in the Mathematical Institute.
