Exhibition
From 11 to 22 March 2019, the exhibition goMATH – going the MATH way in the main hall of ETH Zurich presented the portraits of female mathematicians, their research and their professional life. It also showed submissions to the space competition made by school classes to present a mathematical topic in the form of a three-dimensional object.
Portraits of women scientists
Short portraits of female mathematicians that show various aspects of their lives. They talk about their fascination with mathematics, as well as about the twists and turns they have experienced in the course of their careers.
Profiles of professional mathematicians
These portraits of professional women demonstrate the diverse range of job opportunities a degree in mathematics can open up. Thanks to the broad scope of their education and their capacity for analytical thinking, mathematicians are able to thrive in all manner of fields.
Video portraits of female mathematicians
Only a few female mathematicians pursue an academic career after graduating. Some female researchers who have taken this step now work at the Department. In video portraits they explain how they found their way into mathematics.
Competition
Communicating mathematical concepts without using signs and symbols. This was the task with which Swiss school classes were faced as part of the mathematics competition (German).
