Teachers are expected to attend from 9:00 to 12:30 every weekday and to work on their own at home for another half an hour each day. They will be paid a $1,200 stipend upon completion of the program. Registration is now closed. Applicants will be...

How it works Project discovery Students explore the proposed projects and identify those that match their level and interests. Team formation Students form teams and choose a mini-project from the catalogue. Guided work Teams work with a detailed...

Geometric analysis is a broad area. It uses and develops tools from analysis, such as partial differential equations, calculus of variations and geometric measure theory, to solve problems in geometry and topology. A pivotal achievement is the...

Homotopy limits and colimits are a fundamental tool in homotopy theory, with applications to topology, geometry, and algebra. The event is aimed at graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers who want to learn more about this topic. The...

This is an informal seminar about the modernization of math teaching in the AI era. Several aspects of the modernization will be discussed: the RUM principle (relevant, useful, and modern) of textbooks, modern computer technology, learning-by-doing...
