MEETmeTONIGHT - Face to face with research

MEETmeTONIGHT - Face to Face with Research, the official event of the European Researchers' Night, is back again this year.

On 27 and 28 September at the Indro Montanelli Gardens in Via Palestro in Milan, the Department of Mathematics and Applications, thanks to the commitment of some of its members, is present at the European Researchers' Night 2019.

  • Air, water, waves, wings and... Mathematics!

Can a ball float in the air? Why does a plane fly? Why can a boat ride the wind? What are waves under the sea, how do they form? And, above all, what role does and has mathematics played in all this? Moving between tanks filled with different fluids, numerical simulations and mathematical games, we discover how the study of fluid dynamics has influenced pure mathematics.

Surfaces: worksheets and solutions

  • Get to know the female scientists

In cooperation with the other science departments, many of our female mathematicians will be present at a stand where, through playful activities and stories of famous female scientists, they will bring the public closer to the world of women in science. Science is also a woman, and girls and young women can learn about role models in whom they can recognise themselves, from the ancient to the contemporary world.
