This workshop for high school students, with Prof Po-Shen Loh, will take an in-depth look at some of the creative ways to approach solving problems.

Po-Shen Loh is a social entrepreneur, inventor and mathematics professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

This lecture explored key ideas in the theory of numbers, as developed over the last two thousand-plus years, and also focussed on emphasizing how symmetries of mathematical problems, some obvious but some not-so-obvious, play a hidden role in the nature of their solutions.

Presented by esteemed mathematician Prof Matthew Emerton as part of the 2024 Mahler Lecture Tour.

What makes mathematicians excited about solving equations?

Partake in the excitement of mathematical discovery with Professor Andrej Bauer, who will uncover the beauty and intricate structure of equation solving.
