The Webinar on The Mathematics of Motion took place on Thursday, March 31st, 2022 from 4 pm until 5:30 pm with Dr. Eduardo Mancera, Vice President of the Interamerican Committee on Math Education (CIAEM), as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker highlighted that in order to understand complex situations, the best strategy is to simplify the conditions and analyze the most simple cases. Dr. Eduardo Mancera described several applications of differential equations, including the dynamics of a population, radioactive decay, the spread of a disease, chemical reactions, among others. The speaker also used GeoGebra to show concrete examples of the mathematics of motion. This virtual event was co-organized by the Mexican Association of Educational Mathematics (AMME).
