The institution of a
Mathematical Week has long attracted
those interested and engaged in Mathematics. It has given and continues to give
the opportunity for everyone to be informed and participate in work related to
new discoveries, novel concepts, and continuous updating on theoretical and
applied Mathematics. The Mathematical Week broadens its thematic scope with
parallel events such as book fairs, painting exhibitions, project
presentations, software learning and awards.
The Mathematical Week aims to
promote constructive dialogue and reflection on Mathematics, but also to seek
answers about the role of Mathematics in education, science and culture in the
context of a cross-curricular, interdisciplinary approach.
Issues such as advances in
research, new technologies, teaching methodology and applications are the ones
expected to prevail in the topic-selection priority of the papers to be
presented during the 5th Maths Week.
The 5th International Mathematical Week aims to reach a
modern way and answer questions that are intensely preoccupying the
mathematical community and particularly those questions arising because of the
close relationship of Mathematics with other sciences and with significant
human activities. This Mathematical
Week aspires to offer, among other things, an opportunity to highlight the
humanitarian character of Mathematics and to study their historical
contribution to various branches of culture.
