“Why are we learning this?” — the dreaded question, often received by mathematics educators, is addressed in this public lecture by Professor Po-Shen Loh of Carnegie Mellon University. In this much anticipated talk, Prof Loh will share his story of using his maths-professor background to devise new solutions to practical problems that affect our whole society.
The talk will be moderated by Professor Francis Su of Harvey Mudd College, current visitor at the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute
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.
