The official theme of the International Day of Mathematics in 2026 is “Mathematics and Hope”.
Across the weekend we will explore mathematics with talks, panels, children’s activities in our Maths Craft Room and performances across the weekend in the Chau Chak Wing Museum.
An integrated program of activities will run across the weekend, please check back as more events are added!
Activities
A magic show, by Tadashi Tokieda
Tadashi Tokieda, Stanford University
A magic show should not steal its own thunder with an abstract, but this one is easy for curious children and difficult for seasoned scientists, and you can try it yourself afterwards on friends and family!
This event will run on both Saturday and Sunday, timing to be confirmed.
