To celebrate International Women in Mathematics Day (May 12), Mathematrix is hosting a pizza lunch where we will watch ‘Journeys of Women in Mathematics’,  a powerful 20-minute film by the International Mathematical Union showcasing the experiences of women mathematicians worldwide. 

The film follows three mathematicians from India, Cameroon, and Brazil from their home institutions to the (WM)² international meeting, showing their research and what it’s like to be part of the global maths community.
