SUMMARY:My Mathematical Journey: From Play To Sea!
DESCRIPTION:A SMRI & AMSI Summer School Public Lecture by Jordan Pitt\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery time I mention that I’m a mathematician to someone new\, the most popular response is ‘Oh I was TERRIBLE at maths!‘ and a general vibe that I’m an extreme weirdo for not sharing in this feeling. Honestly\, as mathematicians\, we are a bit different but I am going to try and explain why we’re not that weird in this talk. To do this I will provide some stories of my own mathematical journey and why I ended up loving it.  \n\n\n\nIn this AMSI Summer School public lecture\, University of Sydney mathematician Jordan Pitt will talk about his journey in mathematics. This will be a free event targeted to the general public\, including interested school students. More details and registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJordan Pitt\, Associate Dean Indigenous Strategy & Services and School of Mathematics and Statistics\, The University of Sydney\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Jordan Pitt is a descendant of the Birri Gubba people and an applied mathematician. Like most\, his passion for mathematics was sparked by a fantastic high school mathematics teacher. Since that fire ignited\, he has had an academic career completing his undergraduate and PhD at the Australian National University working on numerical methods for tsunami modelling. He now studies the interaction of ocean waves and sea ice to improve climate models at the University of Sydney\, continuing work begun as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Adelaide. In addition to his academic time\, he has also worked at Geoscience Australia and the Australian Taxation Office on projects from modelling tsunamis to phone call times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey event details\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & time:  \n\n\n\nWednesday 29 January 2025 \n\n\n\nPublic lecture: 5:30 – 6:30 pm \n\n\n\nCanapés & drinks: 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost:  \n\n\n\nThis is a free event \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nSWHB Lecture Theatre 321 \n\n\n\nLevel 3 Susan Wakil Health Building (D18) \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sydney\, Camperdown Campus \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event
