Like every year, the University of Guyana is taking part in Mathematics Week. This year, it will take place from 15 to 21 March, with the theme of "mathematics and society". The university's mathematics lecturers have joined forces to offer a series of lectures throughout the week. Because of the health crisis, all the lectures can also be accessed remotely.
The 10th Mathematics Week is taking place throughout French Guiana, with priority given to schools. The week is an opportunity to raise the profile of mathematics and the work being done in the field, and to present a new, up-to-date and attractive image of mathematics...
