Going the MATH way
From 11 to 22 March 2019, the Department of Mathematics organsised a series of events dedicated to women in mathematics.
The highlight of the first week of the programme was the symposium where internationally renowned female mathematicians presened their current research.
The second week focused on the career opportunities that are possible when studying mathematics. Female mathematicians from different industries exchanged their experiences with pupils and students. Another focus of the second week was mathematics itself were school children entered the world of mathematical thinking in workshops for school classes.
The programme was accompanied by a two-week exhibition in the main hall of ETH Zurich, which illustrated the research and professional life of female mathematicians in the past and today. The exhibition also showed the objects of the mathematics competition.
