The Mathematics beyond the Desks 2023 day was held on 27/04/2023, as part of the events for the 25th anniversary of the University of Milano-Bicocca. Below you will find the flyers, videos of the talks, and photos of the event.

Samples of mathematics

Maths secrets - Ciphering and deciphering messages
An invite to topology - Strings that coil, deform, but don't break!
Probably Strange - How probability theory helps us against misleading intuitions
Let's flatten the Earth - Mysteries and pitfalls in geographical maps
Beziér curves - From points, segments, meshes.... to design and computer graphics
