The Webinar on Triangles, Games and DNA took place on Wednesday, May 19th, 2021 from 5 pm until 6 pm, with Dr. Alejandro Quintero, Professor of Mathematics at the National University of Mar del Plata (UNMdP) in Argentina, as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker showed how the construction of a tunnel is related to right triangles, how musical notes are associated with proportions and how image processing is based on mathematics. Dr. Alejandro Quintero also shared Hamilton’s game that involves a dodecahedron and connected the study of the genetic code of DNA with mathematics. This virtual event was co-organized with the Argentina Mathematical Union (UMA).
