National Science Week High School Workshop: Infinity mathematics
August 14 @ 16:30
Infinity mathematics workshop, Wednesday 14 August, 16:30–18:00
SMRI will host a National Science Week after-school workshop for high school students at the University of Sydney on Wednesday 14 August 2024. The workshop is aimed at students from years 8-11 with a keen interest in mathematics. In this workshop, we will have a deeper look into counting to infinity and try to figure out if all infinities are equal or one thing can be more infinite than another one. We will explore the mathematics of infinity through discussion and solving problems.
This event will be presented by University of Sydney mathematician, Milena Radnovic.
About the presenter: Milena Radnovic is Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University in Sydney. She was born, raised and educated in Belgrade, Serbia, where she worked for many years with talented students of the Mathematical High School and did research at the Mathematical Institute SANU. Before coming to Sydney, Milena also worked as a mathematician in the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
Milena’s research work mainly focuses on geometry and dynamics. She is an enthusiastic teacher for students of all ages and levels of education.
